    Spare us the hasbara, please. It’s insulting. They have not just been conducting targeted strikes against Hezbollah.

    Since invading Southern Lebanon, Israel military have conducted airstrikes on schools, hospitals, and residential areas. They have razed entire cities to the ground.

    They have been using the Gaza playbook of making entire areas uninhabitable in order to ethnically cleanse and expand into new territory, while killing any civilians who get in their way.

    You don’t get to use retaliatory attacks by the people you’re invading as an excuse to continue to commit war crimes during a ceasefire.

      Yeah they sure are going in heavy handed, although at a certain level of course there’s no way to stop Hezbollah if you rule out the civilian areas they working from. Same thing happened to IS and I wonder if you cared about them then then

      If Hezbollah stops attacking Israel all this has a chance to end. But until that happens it’s laughable to point to Israel for “breaking the (nonexistant) ceasefire”

        “If the Palestinians and the Lebanese would just hand over their homeland to the brutal foreign invader, all of this unpleasantness would end” is certainly a hot take.

          The Lebanese were doing just fine until Hezbollah couldn’t keep themselves from restarting hostilities anymore

          Maybe you should launch some missiles into a neighbouring country and see how it turns out?
