    A natural progression historically. If war ever ends for Israel netanyahu and a lot of his regime will face massive consequences. As is the fascist playbook, the state must now constantly be at war

    No guys they’re like, a SUPER important partner in the middle East. They’re just defending themselves bro. That Palestinian kid was going to become Hamas one day. Yeah but dude it’s the only democracy in the middle east! We have to support them, right?! Maybe they do some war crimes, but you have to think about how many war crimes we’re preventing in the process. Just one more assassination bro I swear this will be the last one… btw, got any money? I know I said I wouldn’t ask but there’s this hospital right…Hamas all over it. Hizbollahs too. They dress like doctors but that’s just how they trick you

    If I’m connecting the dots correctly, Hezbollah was preparing to strike Israel on behalf of Iran, all in retaliation for the assassination of a Hamas leader on Iranian soil…

    I cannot imagine this will end well or Iran will just let it go.

      Hazbolaah has attack multiple places as part of their first phase in response of the killing of one of their leaders earlier today/yesterday. Israel didn’t comment about that attack. The news going around is that Israel frame this as a preemptive strike but it is actually not.

        “[…] Israel frame this as a preemptive strike but it is actually not.”

        I’m not that familiar with what exactly is happening. Will you please cite a reputable source that can confirm what you’re claiming?

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) characterized the wave of airstrikes as an effort to preemptively “remove the threat” posed by a purportedly imminent Hezbollah attack

    You gotta love how they’re trying to spin this. Hezbollah has proudly declared that this ‘purportedly’ imminent attack was indeed very real, very planned and very carried out some hours later

    endangering tens of thousands of civilians and heightening the chances of an all-out regional war.

    Those ‘tens of thousands civilians’ have already evacuated months ago and the only casualties were three (3) fighters from Hezbollah and some associated group. Source : Hezbollah themselves

    I wonder how people can keep reading this kind of propaganda and not worry why it doesn’t correlate with what international observers and even Hezbollah themselves are saying

    Yeah, this is bad. I guess Hezbollah doesn’t think much of the negotiations in Cairo. Dammit.

      So you’re blaming Hezbollah for the current situation? You do know Israel has been refusing to ceasefire since the beginning of people demanding it, they also refuse to stop murdering innocent Palestinian civilians.

      They (Israel) refuse to stop the genocide on Palestinians, they refuse two-state solution.

      We could even go on about the entire situation from 1948-2024 and then let’s talk about “who does not think much about negotiations”.

      Is it bad? Yes, indeed it is. It has been bad for a very long time.
