Sir it is Reuters. Titles are short and news are very short (like 2 or 3 sentences). Can't you read the first sentence?

PerpetuallyFired Apr 18, 2026 +12

They did that in the first sentence of the arricle

12

counters14 Apr 18, 2026 +4

Problem is that 95% of people who see the title will never read any part of the article at all. They know this, and this is how misinformation is solidified into a narrative allowing for disinformation to take control.

It's almost like every person or group that uses God's name to justify atrocities are all pieces of shit. "Praise be to Allah." Don't forget who said that.

Yeah religion in general can get fucked, in my opinion. Anecdotally I see far more harm than good coming out of the teachings of 'god'. It has no place in a modern world if we want to see humanity progress.

hushpuppi3 Apr 18, 2026 +4

> Anecdotally I see far more harm than good coming out of the teachings of 'god'. It has no place in a modern world if we want to see humanity progress. People defending the multitudes of mass terror, pain, and suffering that has been inflicted with Religion as a reason or excuse because they genuinely don't know how to be good and have morals without some book telling them to have them is genuinely a scary thought. I'm not religious *at all* but I still care about people and want the best for everybody. Meanwhile my extremely religious relatives think every gay person in our country is harming society. Religion doesn't create empathy.

RobFrankenstein Apr 18, 2026 +1

Ya the problem is as a non religious person I don’t think the way certain atheist groups handle it is any better. They categorize it as “religion” it’s like me saying “sports” they are sports like horseshoe and sports like football obviously different as are religions in the world. You can come here and say all religions are trash. You can probably go anywhere in the west and say that, or most places. Try that in Lebanon and across that region and then you’ll see all religions are not the same. You don’t need to be religious to see that just not pc.

Reglion: how the evil control the dumb for the last 6000 years. Maybe it does good things on a local level and as a hygiene guide before sanitation and refrigeration, but globally it has been a net negative on society. Can't feed anything more selfish in a more impossible to prove way... follow what I say and I promise you a pleasurable afterlife. What hate producing snake oil!

As a retaliatory measure, france strongly condemned the attack and will do nothing further.

Thankfully. What do you want them to do? More war in the middle east?

oulipo Apr 18, 2026 +27

Well, as any mature nation would do, indeed. You use diplomacy and de-escalate. Unlike the american morons like Hegseth and Patel who are drunkards and just send their troops to death for no reason

loulan Apr 18, 2026 +9

You say that like France never uses military action in former colonies. When it does, which happens quite often, it gets bashed for it.

So are France going to actually do their duty for Lebanon? A special relationship and just letting Hezbollah fester.

264

LazyAltruist Apr 18, 2026 +53

Even Lebanon's legitimately-elected government doesn't know if there's enough popular support to get rid of Hezbollah & cash in on the Abraham Accords, which is what they actually want.

53

Ultra_Metal Apr 18, 2026 +254

I really wonder why the hell UNIFIL is still there. They never do anything. They were supposed to prevent Hezbollah from entrenching itself near the Israeli border but they refuse to do their jobs.

greenskinmarch Apr 18, 2026 +59

UNIFIL is just free human shields and PR for Hezbollah. Should move them to the southern side of the border instead. If Hezbollah rockets regularly hit UNIFIL the news might acknowledge those rockets exist more often.

Blame the public of the contributing countries, which would not be prepared to tolerate the casualties.

They exist as a screen/scout force for Hezbollah. And Hezbollah does not even appreciate it .

Panzerkatzen Apr 19, 2026 +3

That's always been the issue with UN Peacekeepers. They're a show of force, but they don't actually use force other than to defend themselves and only themselves. So terrorists learned they can do whatever they want except shoot at the Peacekeepers.

I wonder if they would do something about it. Probably not, im not big on EU geopolitics, but i dont think countries in EU can fight a war in middle east without rebel groups instantly doing things in their homelands.

Full-Fox-361 Apr 18, 2026 +121

Hezbollah killed a French person. I'm sure we will hear the same amount of outrage as when Israel fired NEAR Italian UNIFIL members. I mean, killing is obviously worse, so the response should be way more severe. But we know they will either ignore this or blame Israel for it.

121

csick Apr 18, 2026 +39

To date Hezbollah has killed 58 French people in Lebanon. This is the first time it’s happened.

For what it's worth, Israel has *also* killed at least 1 French person in Lebanon during their bombings. War is bad. [Source](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/frenchwoman-killed-after-explosion-southern-lebanon-france-says-2024-09-26/)
