During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.

    The irony is that hezbollah formed as a result of Israel invading Lebanon in 1982.

      Yes, Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 because the PLO was attacking Israel from there.

        Which was because Israel attacked, which was because the arab countries attacked, which was because Britain decided to put Israel in Palestine.

        So basically all parties should attack Britain

            It’s the one country with most remaining colonial influence. Look up the British Commonwealth.

              I am well aware of that institution, more than you are it seems.

              You really consider India to be a colony of the United Kingdom?

                Not really as it has its own republic. Like all countries in pink

                However it’s influence is still huge. If their monarch is in your money out their flag is in yours there is s bit more to it than a decolonised entity.

        My point is the last time they tried to invade everyone to get rid of the terrorists, they just created more terrorists in more areas.

    Yeah fuck Netanjahu, but maybe it would be a good idea to stop launching rockets at Israeli civilians

          Israel bombing an embassy is slightly different than firing rockets at military bases in occupied territory.

          There is a case to be made for Hezbollah firing rockets after oct7 but israel was already occupying the Lebanese Shebaa Farms before that.

            You misspelled bombing an embassy where people made plans to shoot rockets at children playing soccer

            Lying about which particular side restarted a frozen border conflict and, proven wrong, moving to the argument that it’s suddenly insignificant is retarded

            Had Hezbollah not attacked Israel all these people would be alive

              Israel bombed the Druze kids. It was a confirmed Iron Dome rocket failure. You are woefully misinformed.

                If by ‘confirmed’ you mean ‘claimed by Hezbollah after the damage became apparent, without any evidence whatsoever’ then yeah, I guess a lot of other things were ‘confirmed’ that mysteriously fit your narrative.

                  Almaydeen wrote a great article pointing out that the impact crater is far too small for a 50kg Falaq1 rocket warhead which israel claims caused the explosion

                  This is the impact crater in Majdal Shams:

                  This is a known impact of a Falaq1 rocket:

                  So the blast crater looks nothing like you’d expect. And Falaq1 rockets do not blast into flames but rather have a big shockwave warhead, as they burn all their fuel on launch. The fences being burnt like this makes no sense.

                  In contrast the explosion looked exactly like previous Iron Dome failures.

        No, even Al Jazeera admits here that Hezbollah (or back then, rather the PLO, followed by Hezbollah later) was the first to strike.

        Also, Hezbollah is funded by Iran, which is run by religious extremists that want to eradicate all Jews. Israel, however badly, has been defending itself for decades.

        There are many bad actors in this conflict, on all sides, and they all need to be stopped.
