    You do know that Israel is not fighting against an invading force, right? That might be a slight difference when it comes to morality.

      You do realize Hezbollah even having possession of those rockets was in violation of UN resolutions. The fact they’ve been launching them for nearly a year now is also a violation. Israel’s actions here are far more justifiable than Gaza.

        That is in no way relevant to my point. Let me know when Hezbollah invades Israel.

          They’ve been bombing Israel for nearly a year - since Oct 8, well before Israel went into Gaza. Actually, even before Israel completely recaptured the areas captured by Hamas in southern Israel.

          What choice does Israel have other than to give up on 60,000 of their own citizens permanently displaced by Hezbollah?

            I think they have a choice to not use exploding pagers regardless of any bombing.

            Also, their citizens are almost never even at risk of being injured by those bombs, unlike what happened in Lebanon.

      Men with tactical coordination, trained and armed with automatic weapons, crossed an internationally recognized border by land, sea, and air. They launched thousands of ballistic missiles, killed, captured and held territory, and have repeatedly given assurances that they will do the same again and again.

      If that’s not an invasion then we are just arguing semantics.

          Hamas invaded Israel last October 7 by land, sea, and air. They captured territory, however briefly. Hezbollah has been a part of the military campaign against Israel since Oct 8, weeks before Israeli troops entered Gaza (Oct 27). 60,000 Israelis have been displaced by Hezbollah attacks, and dozens killed or injured.

        I think you missed an important qualifier in the statement you’re responding to. I feel if you reread the statement you’d find you’re probably both on the same page of this book.
