Israel says it attacked southern Lebanon to ‘preempt’ a Hezbollah attack on northern Israeli towns.

… The Lebanese group said in a statement on Sunday that it fired more than 320 Katyusha rockets at 11 Israeli military bases and barracks, including the Meron base and four sites in the occupied Golan Heights.
it said it targeted military bases to “facilitate the passage of drones” towards their desired targets deep inside Israel. “And the drones have passed as planned". …

      All religious ethnostates behave this way. The line doesn’t stop at Israel.

    I wonder if any American president has the spine to not let another country drag us into another war.

      i agree with you in that, in my opinion, America and the West should not support the genocide committed against Palestine. Also, they should not engage in wars to grab petroleum resources. Disclaimer : i’ve never been (surprise!) and American president.

    You have the sequence wrong. Hezbollah has been firing missiles at Israel, over 300 according to the Hindustan times. They have also been using drone strikes. Israel fired back.

        Hezbollah have been firing missiles for years on and off. That is why Israel offed one of their leaders recently.

          Nice moving the goal post back.

          Shame you can only go back so far before Israel predates Hezbollah and the blame game ends with Israel once again holding the ball.

              Funny, I thought that was Israel’s logic for being there in the first place. Funny to see it turned around and used the other way. Ideologically inconsistent aren’t ya?

          Let’s skip the tit for tat and jump straight to the end of this chain of violence begetting violence eh? Israel establishes a colony and begins the violent displacement of local native palastinians. There, we did it. If your “well he did it first” form of moral judgement holds true then we should see a fun shift in attitude’s.

          But it never was about that really?

              Palastinians spent 80 years getting slaughtered. I’d prefer if no one was getting slaughtered instead of my preferred racial group you fucking monster.

              Equating what I’m saying to a call for the genocide machine to turn in reverse rather than stopping it all together is a self report brother. You cannot imagine peace. You just see this as a fight to extinction. You support the genocide.

              Here’s a fun history fact. One time we almost had peace. Palastinians agreed to it. Israel agreed to it. Things were looking up.

              And then genocidal Israeli terrorists assassinated their own prime minister to continue the oppression.

              Funny that.

                Palastinians spent 80 years getting slaughtered

                They spent decade after decade refusing peace deals and losing the wars they started.

                Here’s a fun history fact. One time we almost had peace. Palastinians agreed to it. Israel agreed to it. Things were looking up.

                And then Palestinians chose to start the second Intifada literally killing off all hope for peaceful coexistence in Israel. Palestinians demonstrated over and over that they are not partners for peace.

                  Brother, if I roll up to your house. Beat the shit out of you, lock you in the basement and then say “okay. Now that your in the basement we should stop fighting” are you going to be cool with that?

                  It’s not peace when you run apartheid on palastinians in your country and constantly colonize and push out palastinians not in your country.

                  I want you to think about a similar situation. United states and Native Americans. Do you think America was in the right to go into native villages and burn and slaughter them because some of the natives would terror attack American colonists? Do you sympathize with the natives who went and terrorized American colonists who were stealing their land?

                  It’s pretty universally accepted at this point that America committed genocide against the native Americans and the Israeli treatment of palastinians is historically very similar in both motive, methods and excuses.

                  You focus so hard on what the side with no power, no authority does when backed into a corner and ignore the slaughter that they have withstood for 80 fucking years.

                  What is it to you that makes you so unwilling to have sympathy? Skin color? Language? Religion? Because you were born in a country that geo politically backs one side so that’s your team now?

                  If I took this sitch, removed all the names you knew and just told the story of 2 groups of indistinct humans, I guarantee you wouldn’t be picking the side of isreal. No moral person could.

                  What’s even more interesting is that unless your an Israeli trying to defend your states genocide to feel less bad about the blood you stand on, you ain’t even getting anything out of it. At least the genocidal colonists who push the frontier and steal palastinians homes get a home out of it. What do you get? You get to be the stain of a history book. The question high schoolers ask 200 years from now “why did anyone support Hitler killing all the Jewish folk isreal killing all the palastinians?” And the history teacher will have to answer “because no one is immune from propaganda”

      Hindustan times is a genocidal hindufascist propaganda outlet under control of the Indian president Modi. They advocate for Pogroms against muslims in India.

      The moment they “report” anything in relation to Muslims it is heavily skewed at best.
