I guess it’s fine for Israel to launch missiles into Lebanon goading them into a response so then Israel is the victim. Israel behaves as a terrorist organization.
Isn’t it just as bad when Israeli government officials make reference to “greater Israel” which includes Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, etc…? Does that give those countries a right to attack Israel because of that?
Israel has been doing strikes on Israel off and on for years. Hezbollah gave them countless warnings to stop but Israel kept doing it.
You’re playing the anti-Semitic card? lol
But it’s fine for Israel to do it when they don’t want their neighboring countries to exist?
I'm not interested in hypotheticals. Just the reality on the ground. Can you provide a link to Netanyahu stating that he wants to launch missiles at Lebanon until it ceases to exist?
People in his administration have referenced Greater Israel, which would extend Israel’s border taking over Lebanon, Jordan, parts of Syria, Iraq, and Saudi. To me, that means they don’t want Lebanon to exist.
Vast majority of Jews would disagree that Israel doesn’t represent Judaism. The importance of the existence of Israel should be clear to everyone after all the anti semitic behavior in Europe and US over the past year. Israel is constantly threatened and bombed by terror proxies and countries that believe the Middle East should be a homogeneous region with no Jews. And what I’ve noticed about most people who condemn Israel for post Oct 7 military actions and say they don’t support what happened on Oct 7 is they contradict themselves. You will hear them say Hamas is bad, Oct 7 was bad, but other then that they will not criticize Hamas anymore. They take all the numbers out of Gaza at face value, say they aren’t all Hamas but you’ll later hear them say “of course they support Hamas, how could they not?”. Just never hear any criticism of Hamas outside of Oct 7. Also I hear the Hannibal directive conspiracy used a lot. Which hasn’t been a IDF policy in over a decade. It had nothing to do with Israelis who aren’t active duty in the IDF. It simply was policy that IDF was allowed to take risks if soldier was taken hostage bc the torture would be so severe by Hamas.
That's not the same thing and you know it. Nasrallah is on the record as stating that his goal is to destroy Israel. His terrorist group set up rockets on the Israeli border and has launched thousands of missiles at Israeli civilians. No sovereign nation would tolerate that as long as Israel has. Israel took care of the problem with minimal casualties, saving thousands of lives on both sides. I'm sure Hezbollah is just as happy to avoid major war as Israel is. However, Israel can do no right to you.
That is not the reason that Israel is “constantly threatened and bombed.” The reason for that is that they are constantly threatening and killing Palestinians and attack neighboring countries without repercussions. You can instigate people and expect them to sit quietly and take it.
I wasn't aware that launching thousands of missiles at civilians, sending suicide bombers to blow up teenage girls at dance parties and ice cream parlors, or kidnapping, raping, and murdering hundreds of civilians in one day was "sitting quietly and taking it." Amazing how eager some people are to forget what Hamas has done.
I’m talking about 75+ years of occupation, torture, killing, raping, and humiliation. Amazing how some people forget or are ignorant of what Israel does on a daily basis.
I'm talking about 75+ years of terrorism, torture, killing, raping, and indiscriminate massacres aimed at civilians. Amazing how some people keep trying to justify Hamas's actions.
Funny, Hamas was created in the 80s. Seems like you are the one that has forgotten the history.
