    no one is bummed out that that prick is dead.

    Plenty of us are bummed out that 1. a fuckload of Lebanese kids have been killed in the last couple of days, 2. that the war is entering a new phase and an entirely new country, 3. Israel is clearly going to help themselves to Southern Lebanon for Lebensraum purposes, 4. The Biden Administration is completely unwilling to stop it. and 5. It could easily cost the Democratic Party this election.

    Hope that clarifies things.

    a new phase? Hezbollah has been firing into Israel for 11 months. At any moment they could have you know, stopped. Also I’ll bet you money Israel doesn’t annex part of Lebanon. Let me know the parameters and the amount of money.

    I would say block busting Beirut is a new phase. There's more bombs falling as I write this.

    And re annexation, I think the wording Beeb's boys used was "create a buffer zone"

    Well, there's tens of thousands of people living in this "buffer zone"

    Israel fighting back is a new phase of the war, if you say so. Also per a UN resolution there already is a buffer zone. Hezbollah is supposed to be north of the litani river. Since the UN won’t enforce the resolution Israel has to

    The entire thing is performative to humiliate Joe Biden, and liberal Americans in general. And it's worked, of course.

    It's a shame tens of thousands of kids have been killed and maimed and traumatized forever for Beeb's sick point.

    you’re over thinking it. It has nothing to do with Joe Biden and only terminally online people like us would think. Also are you insinuating Israel is fighting Hamas and hezbollah to make a point? Also you’re right it is a shame thousands of children have been killed/maimed/traumatized by this. Hamas and Hezbollah are responsible for every single death

    the 30 year head of an internationally recognized terrorist organization was just killed, it’s a big deal. Why are you so upset by a terrorist leader being taken out? Were you this upset when Zawahiri was killed? You understand that Hezbollah is not the Lebanese military right?

    Specific to the last 24 hours, this is a significant development in the namesake of this thread.

    Nasrallah planned the Beirut embassy bombing, and oversaw the Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil Was (on the side of Assad…) before you even address his role in the establishment of Hezbollah as an Iranian proxy paramilitary force whose stated goal is the elimination of Israel. These are all facts.

    Hes a historical figure in the last 50 years of the Middle East and Israel finding him and killing him is significant on a standalone basis.

    It’s very interesting that you continually sidestep the question. You’ve been the loudest and most dogmatic Israel supporter over the last year (and I’m sure longer).

    they killed a lot more than one man. There was a high level meeting taking place. They not only killed a bunch of Hezbollah commanders but the head of the IRGC Quds force



    also specifically what enemies did they create?

    Israel has gone scorched earth over the past year. Killing innocent people at an extreme rate. If you don’t think that meeting room isn’t ready to fill right back up with even angrier men, then idk what to tell you.

    yeah, I was going to say. Tethered to the Polish Law and Justice Party (Trump style right wing) - pretty sure they fund it. Founded by an openly racist Polish South African (who grew up in London - probably a chelsea fan if we're being honest here), it's anti-immigrant and Islamophobic

    It's exceedingly hard to believe you when you qualify EVERY reply like you did above. You know it's a choice of both whether and how to attack. You don't have to bomb an orphanage to kill terrorists underneath it right? There are more surgical options, or, you know, picking a place and time to minimize collateral damage. Your responses make you come off as someone with real issues.

    yes because that happened. A full orphanage got bombed. Let’s be honest, people say you can’t do airstrikes, you can’t do a ground invasion, you can’t do targeted assassinations, I’ve yet to see Israel fight Hamas or Hezbollah where people say that was ok. Just admit you want the Jews in Israel to die, there are no circumstances they can fight back. The next Israeli retaliation that people deem ok will be the first

    How does Israel fight Hamas and Hezbollah that is acceptable to you. Honest question. My response was unfairly aimed at you in particular, but this thread has objected to literally every single way they’ve fought back.

    By not being so short sighted with respect to other COUNTRIES (not terrorist orgs) and killing people indiscriminately. Seems like an efficient method to deal with one problem (terrorists) in the short term, but foster extremism in future generations of the citizens. Like US foreign policy failures from 1950 onward. We've seen how this turns out, in my opinion.

    please explain. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan and have had no conflict with them. When has Israel indiscriminately killed people? I will absolutely concede at the start of this war their rules of engagement were awful. That doesn’t mean it’s indiscriminate.
