Benjamin Netanyahu's appeal came as Israel expanded its ground invasion against Hezbollah.

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.

          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.

                  Those impact craters look very comparable to me… What do you suppose it should look like?

                  Do you consider your source to be unbiased towards Israel?

                  edit: I must say as I read some more on that site or yours that I’d consider them childishly biased against anything ““Israel””…

                  Can you provide your comparison with ‘previous Iron Dome failures’?

                  I think this article from AP is much more valuable. They cite, among others, a weapons expert from HRW and the doctor that treated the wounded. What makes you think these people are lying and your source is definitively correct?

      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.
