How is bombing the middle of a city filled with civilians a strike on Hezbollah? Israel only knows how to be terrorists, this is the same playbook as Palestine. Kill mountains of civilians in civilian areas, then make a vague claim of insurgent activity in the area.
That's their playbook those psycopathic fascist genociders. And Iran and it's allies are the only ones fighting them. I hope it rains missiles on them for days and days until their stolen land is decimated and erased.
I think part of the strategy is to generate future terrorists. It’s much easier to be a victim when you are a victim. And by “you” I mean regular citizens, not the ones bombing others. They’ll never get what they deserve.
If you look at social media, the bots are already out defending it. Those civilian apartments were hiding Hezbollah, just like the Gaza hospitals were hiding Hamas.
Israel has a right to exist, but apparently Lebanon does not.
"Striking Hezbollah" is the new "Hamas tunnels" and just like for the last one the Press in many places (most notably the UK and US) is purposefully using that messaging.
This is why in this article in The Guardian (which has a long track record of Consent Manufacturing and cheerleading for Israel) the subtitle they use is:
rather than
Israel wants war and will continue to drag the US back into war until the US properly punishes Israel. The tail is wagging the dog and it needs to stop.
You make it sound like one of those '50s "what she needs is a good spanking!" shrew-taming movies
The US has a full hand of leverage options against Israel which Trump can unilaterally use. Very minimum is simply stop sending them more interceptors. But I think kidnapping Netanyahu and sending him to the ICC would be appropriate.
All fanciful wish casting of course.
another israeli 'ceasefire'
Sure doesn't sound like a ceasefire. Maybe I don't understand the term.
Vance said it was a 'misunderstanding' so I guess we don't understand it at all
"Whoopsidoodles, I bombed a bunch more stuff after I got you to agree to a ceasefire." ,Vance. Always look more keenly to what someone does, moreso than what they say.
Israel won't let this war end. They need the chaos so they can keep their war of aggression to steal more land.
Lebanon really needs some fucking air defense systems. This is absolutely ridiculous.
