Yeah except 99.99% of dems/liberals aren't actually saying those things. I'm sure there's a handful of deluded extremists who have, but those people wouldn't even align with what progressives/liberals/dems believe and support.
I think you've been misled my friend, or atleast under the impression that people with those beliefs are much more common then they actually are. Atleast in the U.S.

Why lie about that? Clearly the only one pushing a false narrative here is you.
Progressives / liberals are not the same thing. The dem party has become big tent since they brought in Bernie Sanders, aoc, and ilhan omar. But they have very different beliefs and ideologies than liberals do.
And many progressives support "the resistance".

Ahh i meant active not subbed.
But regardless, when i saw leftist i figured the original comment was someone just refering to anyone left of a centrist, as it seems like atleast around me and in conservative media the dems and libs are often refered to as "leftists".
That's my bad! I was being a dumbass who should of asked for clarification before spouting off. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Learn what leftists are first, then post walls of text. Leftists are not Democrats, they're ultra progressive/Communist types that attached themselves to the Democratic party. Regardless of the dudes political stance, he's right.

You do realize there's a certain group of the left called "leftists" right? I'm not talking about your average DEM, or liberals like myself, i'm talking about leftists.
UNIFIL should just pull out.
From the article:
> UNIFIL is stationed in southern Lebanon to monitor hostilities along the border. The mission, which will be halted at the end of 2026, has been sporadically caught in the crosshairs of both Israel and Hezbollah over the last few years.
>Three Indonesian peacekeepers were killed last month, with a preliminary UN investigation finding one was killed by Israeli tank fire, while the two others were killed by an improvised explosive device likely planted by Hezbollah.
why put them in harms way?

It makes no sense to keep them there. They've been there for almost 10 years and they haven't lifted a finger to accomplish their mission: preventing Hezbollah from entrenching itself near Israel. The commanders of UNIFIL are risking the lives of soldiers for nothing. This French soldier died in vain.

Well the IDF has killed Unifil soldiers allegedly, probably a false flag as usual. That said Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, what’s the point of getting angry at them, they are supposed to be the ‘bad guys’ , the IDF who are the “good guys” should be held to a higher standard of conduct.

Because Israel is a democratic sovereign state supposed to be allied with western powers, Hesbolah is a terrorist militia holding an illegitimate local power opposed to the west. You really want the western world to diplomatically consider them the same way ? If yes, are you legimating Hesbolah as a political power or reducing Israel as a terrorist organisation ?

This is the reason Israel don't give a shit about western opinion anymore. They are for some reason expected to fight a terrorist organization with extreme care, while Hezbollah can do whatever it wants with impunity because "aw shucks they are terrorists what do you expect 🤷🏻" and that's where the criticism and action against Hezbollah ends.

If cops accidentally kill a bystander in a shootout with a bank robber, the responsible party in a court of law is still the bank robber, and it is added to their list of charges. That's how the law works.

i agree, bad is bad. and i want to say again, i am in no way defending hezbollah. anyone who kills innocent civilians are scum to me. but you ask why there’s no international blowback, in what form should that come? by global diplomats or heads of state denouncing hezbollah? every rational person denounces hezbollah, it goes without saying. they are not a political entity in the form of a nation that international law can be applied to. unlike the IDF, which operates on behalf of and in capacity of the israeli government. thats my entire point. so the question should be posed towards you, what international blowback do you think would be fitting here? what is YOUR end goal?

I would like to see regional Arab powers come together to address terrorism in the middle east with intent for peace. But they arnt interested in this because they don't want peace with Israel, they love seeing someone fighting israel. So Israel has to prove a point that any country hosting a terrorist militia isn't safe, and it's that countries government and military that has a responsibility to take care of said terrorist militia. It's all about the implication.

while that may be partially true youre really overstating it. hezbollah has a /couple/ of seats in parliament but the lebanese govt has said they operate outside of lebanese law and that they want to work to disarm them so lebanese army can be the only military operating under lebanese sovereignty. hezbollah does not comply with lebanese law or operate by their rule, theyre funded and directed by iran. that’s exactly why they’re different from the IDF, the official military arm of an actual state.

Lebanon is being invaded by a foreign country, a country that France is very closely allied with and a strong supporter of. Why the f*** would French soldiers be there?
If my country was being invaded by a foreign nation, say for example Israel, and foreign soldiers allied with Israel were standing around "keeping the peace" in the land that Israel had conquered from us then I think they would be fair targets.
What foreign militaries should be doing if the world was a just place is they should be telling Israel to stop bombing and invading other nations and to get their f****** soldiers back behind their borders or we do to Tel Aviv exactly what they did to Gaza and drag Bibi to Hague. But obviously that won't happen because Israel has videos of all our leaders and billionaires f****** children on an island with a New York financier.

The most braindead comment I've read in a long time🤦♂️ good job dude.
Lebanon is being "invaded" because this french guy is failing at his job. "keeping peace" yeah right
A dumbass militia thought that attacking israel is cool and nothing would happen, both the 8th of October, and the 2nd of merch.
Because in 20 years nobody did shit about Hezbollah being south of the litani River.
You excusing a terrorist group for doing terrorist shit cause you dont like israel as if israel started any of it.
Shit has nothing to do with your braindead conspiracies and your understanding of geopolitics is so flawed I am actually debating whether this comment is a troll or not
