During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.

    The irony is that hezbollah formed as a result of Israel invading Lebanon in 1982.

        Which was because Israel attacked, which was because the arab countries attacked, which was because Britain decided to put Israel in Palestine.

        So basically all parties should attack Britain

            It’s the one country with most remaining colonial influence. Look up the British Commonwealth.

              I am well aware of that institution, more than you are it seems.

              You really consider India to be a colony of the United Kingdom?

                Not really as it has its own republic. Like all countries in pink

                However it’s influence is still huge. If their monarch is in your money out their flag is in yours there is s bit more to it than a decolonised entity.

        My point is the last time they tried to invade everyone to get rid of the terrorists, they just created more terrorists in more areas.

    Yeah fuck Netanjahu, but maybe it would be a good idea to stop launching rockets at Israeli civilians

            You misspelled bombing an embassy where people made plans to shoot rockets at children playing soccer

            Lying about which particular side restarted a frozen border conflict and, proven wrong, moving to the argument that it’s suddenly insignificant is retarded

            Had Hezbollah not attacked Israel all these people would be alive

                If by ‘confirmed’ you mean ‘claimed by Hezbollah after the damage became apparent, without any evidence whatsoever’ then yeah, I guess a lot of other things were ‘confirmed’ that mysteriously fit your narrative.

        No, even Al Jazeera admits here that Hezbollah (or back then, rather the PLO, followed by Hezbollah later) was the first to strike.

        Also, Hezbollah is funded by Iran, which is run by religious extremists that want to eradicate all Jews. Israel, however badly, has been defending itself for decades.

        There are many bad actors in this conflict, on all sides, and they all need to be stopped.
