NB
Hamas perpetrates unimaginable atrocities. Lebanon backs Hamas.
NB
If Israel wants to exist it has no choice but to ruin Lebanon completely.

hate speech ^

It’s patently obvious that Israel seeks to raze whole residential areas of Lebanon and kill civilians, as it has done in Gaza.

If the world wants peace, it has no choice but to get rid of zionism.

NB
This is exactly why we have death and destruction. People void of any knowledge on the field making these kind of statements to defend Israel IDF indefensible mass killing.
NB
The extermination of Israel would lead to extensive destruction and death in the Middle East. Israel will not die alone.

Just a friendly reminder that Israel is able to "pound southern Lebanon" because the USA enables the IDF to do this with a constant supply of bombs and missiles.

It's not just Israel pounding Lebanon, it's Israel and the US who are killing the Lebanese and Gazan people.

""U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein said this week in Beirut that a truce was "within our grasp"."
What a Joke,
U can't wish for a peace agreement while supplying killing machine to an unleashed thug.

We have death and destruction because terrorists who have embedded themselves in a soverign country are continually firing rockets into another country where there are lots of civilians. What would your country do if it were on the receiving end?
Want the "death and destruction" to stop? Then pray that Hezbollah stops attacking its neighbor.

unfortunately with trump coming to office in January, Benjamin Netanyahu is even more embolden to crush the Palestinians and Lebanese people, literally destroy their communities with no regard as to civilians or military casualties. I blame him and his government who permit these atrocities, not the Israeli people as a whole.
Benjamin Netanyahu must be held to account for the death and destruction he as mastermind. Maybe, just maybe, one day justice will prevail.

Not all of Lebanon. Only islamist extremists who have hijacked the Lebanese government. Do you think the Maronites are in on the jihad against Israel?
The big picture has not changed. It is impossible to defeat the jihadist militarily. But it is possible to de-fund and thus weaken them, as Trump demonstrated before. As long as the money spigot to Hamas and Hizballah is open, this continues.

The jewish terrorist can ruin Lebanon yes and Hezbollah and Hamas will ruin Israel. But what left of Israel as in population will run, The Lebanese have been prepared knowing Israel will never settle for peace and 5000 dead IDF since the invasion of 1/2 km deep into Lebanon has the IDF as spent force. The only replacement are ultra ortherdoc who are refusing to hold a weapon. 13 months and not one objective declared has been achieved. The Zionist masterminds that allow Hamas to attack on 7/10 were super sure that this will trigger the reason to effnical cleans the occupied territories. How super sure are they now after 13 months of nothing but losses and a few hostages returned. LOL. Now they are looking down the barrel of having to deploy a nuclear attacks. And what happens after woulds. Iran will just cope it sweet because a nuclear attack by Israel will see nothing but international misery for the Jewish occupiers. There can only be a one winner in this outcome and Israel can decides between total annihilation or peacefully abandonment of the Middle East.
NB
Peaceful abandonment of the Middle East? Going to the sea? No. Israel will not die alone.
Wick's pencil
Yes, but where ever they run to, Mossad agents will carry out "antisemetic" false flags to encourage them to seek refuge in Israel. They have a habit of doing that.
John-San
iYes. Israel will die alone. Do you actually think USA citizen are going to put their hand up to fight in another forever war ? The generation they are aiming for are those who have witness growing up losses in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the tagged forgotten wars. Nah only if it is their homeland will another USA citizen will fight in any more wars. A zionist war oversea has a really bad taste in their mouths for those aged to enlist. Yes Israel will fast be abandon because of their intolerance to live peacefully next side other sects is a common shortfall that they can never adjust to.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Only about 7,000 Americans died in Iraq and Afghanistan. While I won't say it had no effect on the nation's psyche, it pales in comparison to Vietnam, for example.
NB
The refusal to peaceful coexistence, and for any peace deal, comes from the Palestinians and the Lebanses.
NB
We are not in the 1940s now. The Jews have weapons. Those who exterminate them will perish too.
NB
Did they do so in the 1940s?

We are watching a genocide in real time, with children and women being shredded. Israel is waging a war of annihilation against the Palestinians after 76 years of apartheid, colonialism, and mass killing.
As a reminder Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says

This terrible conflict would end the first 24 hours if the US administration stops shipping lethal weapons to Israel. Almost $20 billions (officially) since January 2024. The same country, ally of Japan, which accuses China of "bullying" and "threats" in Asia.

The Jewish terrorist had always had the superior weapons since their invasion in 1940,s like grenades, automatic weapons and armed vehicles trying ethical cleans the legal owners from there own lands and who were they. Deserted tribes with bolt action lee- Enfolds. LOL and to point out to you most embarrassing, they are still there. The Jews have abandoned the Middle East before and they certainly will again. The Muslim have never abandon their home lands and never will.
NB
This is sheer distortion.
NB
Both the Palestinian Arabs and the Israeli Jews have roots in the land. There is enough room in the land for both of them. They could have coexisted in cultural cooperation and material prosperity,
NB
Unfortunately, the extremists among the Palestinians had the upper hand over the moderates in 1947-1948. They rejected the UNGA resolution of 1947, and launched a disastrous war in 1948, The horrific and disgusting conflict continues to roll ever since, with the Palestinians rejecting every compromise and scuttling every attempt for a peace deal. The agenda and practice of Hamas is genocide to Israel.
NB
The Jews are not colonialists. Israel is not an apartheid state. Even under a situation of conflict, Israel is a Jewish-Arabic partnership. Jews and Arabs intermix inside Israel, in all spheres of society.
