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.
Wasn’t it israel starting the thing this time with attacks within a sovereign country?
Yeah it was Israel firing missiles into northern Israel in support of the Hamas attack
No wait
Israel bombing an embassy is slightly different than firing rockets at military bases in occupied territory.
There is a case to be made for Hezbollah firing rockets after oct7 but israel was already occupying the Lebanese Shebaa Farms before that.
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
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.
