Israeli Air Force just launched its largest wave of airstrikes in Lebanon targeting 100 sites within 10 minutes

> go all in and remove the threat *sigh* That has been tried so many times by now... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Lebanese_conflict It won't work that way. We need to learn from history.

Hezbollah has been repeatedly attacking them since 10/8/23

"The whole thing led to Hez attacking them" When did Hez stop attacking them to start again? Hez has been attacking them for years. That's why they're moving in to clear them out.

Any Iranian attack on Israel is very likely to provoke US and Israeli responses.

just saw a post in r\teenagers by this lebanese kid whose school just got blown up

entire villages erased in a single moment

>I doubt it can be an accident when done once, twice, thrice, several more times. If the strikes are inaccurate just 1% of the time and there have been literally hundreds of strikes...

While Lebanon's givernment remains unwilling to exercise sovereignty over its territory there's not a lot of point in other countries consulting it.

Oh sure, because Israel wiping out Hamas is going so well for Gaza..

Been like this for millenia.

To be honest your point is valid and I would even say a lot of people commenting that are against what you’re saying are against it because it’s too scary for them to admit that the individual common person has absolutely no power and no way to change anything in the world. They have to believe “caring” which literally in this instance is just thinking about it with no outer effect on the world, matters so that they can sleep at night without their worldview absolutely crumbling. But the Middle East has been at war forever and will be, and most people do not care and to be honest don’t have much reason to because they are so far removed from that region of the world.

Maybe vote differently? Idk man. It’s empathy. There are innocent people like your parents, your loved ones, your nieces and nephews being killed because they were born in the wrong patch of grass, en masse, all because of the US government’s policy.

This is just wrong, the Gaza ceasefire happened because Trump pushed for it, Biden limited arms exports to Israel because they entered Rafah.

Yes not under Trump. Israel has wanted us to bomb Iran for a long time and we told them to f*** off every time until Trump came around. Other presidents recognized the position we hold over them and the region as a whole and had a semblance of a plan.

The were not against the war. Trump thought he could get a decisive victory when he had the opportunity to take out Iran’s leaders. Trump was ready to attack when Witkoff and Kushner argued talks were not going well despite foreign opposition to this claim, but chose to do so after the intelligence about where Khamenei was. It was Trump’s decision led by his cabinet (potentially helped by Israeli lobbying but there was also lobbying from elsewhere). At the end of the day Trump made the decisions, blaming Israel only shifts the blame from the administration when in reality incompetent decision making and the belief that Iran would give up led to US delving into the war without a plan. Barely anyone was against the initial strikes, with overconfidence from recent action in Venezuela. Rubio didn’t object, JD urged Trump to ‘go big and go fast’. You can argue people knew what would happen (ie the IRGC becoming more hardline and no one winning) but by then the US had made up its mind and brushed away other outcomes.

Bud, you're the one who just removed all nuance from the conversation by summarizing their comment as "I have to be cool with Israel bulldozing heritage sites for fun". Like... that's not at all what they said.

Never said that, methods absolutely matter.
