Are they still defending themselves?
This is the end result of enabling a bully.
They're not really trying to defend themselves, not to us. Preemptive attacks to what you do when you want to destroy other people, not when you want to defend yourself. But they are trying to justify themselves internally, because it's not like every Israeli citizen is okay with killing everyone around you.
And it's not the end result. It's the intermediate result. Perhaps the end result will be far worse.
Israel is a rogue state.
Israel has been bombing Lebanon for decades. Israel's policy is to kill every non-Jew in the world.
Our "ally" is not committed to peace.
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 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
