Israel is being attacked – everyone: sad, but it’s complicated and didn’t start today…
Israel is crushing its aggressive neighbor in self-defense – everyone: ceasefire now.

They already paid the UN billions to take preventative measures. Or did the UN not actually take any steps to prevent this despite claiming they would?

Where was this so called initiative this past year ?
Hezbollah has been firing rockets killing innocent civilians (children amongst them) for nearly a year.
Israel wanted to solve this in a diplomatic way but how long can one country suffer terror like this ?
As soon as they took matters into their own hands and took the gloves off the world woke up, pathetic.

21-day cease fire and by miracle both side do stop (highly unlikely). Then what next? Resume fighting? UN will send peacekeeping force (nah) or each agree to disagree and stop fighting (hell will freeze first).
So much blood have been spilled that anyone who can craft lasting peace in middle east will be that year’s instant Noble Peace Prize winner.

Is this one of the typical ceasefires where Israel agrees to stop military action and the other side agrees to keep lobbing missiles at civilians?
johannsyah on
and then Hezbollah would violate the ceasefire and start firing rockets again and the West would blame on Israel again for retaliating

Absolutely pathetic. Israel’s north gets pounded with missiles for a year, turning tens of thousands of Israelis into refugees. Israel has finally had enough and hit Hezbollah hard, and what is the world saying? Oh no, poor Hezbollah, how dare Israel fight back, how dare Israel escalate.
Where were you guys from 2006 to 2023? Lebanon is a failed state, amounting to nothing more than an Iranian proxy whose primary purpose is to deter Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Hezbollah has been storing weapons en masse in civilian areas, which has been a fully known fact.
What the hell did they expect would happen? Hezbollah was storing tens of thousands of rockets just for fun, never to be actually used?
Iran can strike other countries with impunity, it can arm and train proxies with impunity, creating an extensive proxy network, it can attack US bases, it directs Houthis to disrupt shipments via Suez Canal. How do US and EU respond? Do not escalate! Do not escalate! Do not escalate! Do not escalate!

The only reason why Israel lives under constant indiscriminate rocket attacks is because the Iron Dome exists. Where else in the world does a country have to put up with rocket launches like this?
We have normalized it in Israel because of the Iron Dome which stops the vast majority of rockets, so we don’t see the bodies but threats are always there. If this was happening to any other country, the rest of the world would be up in arms and there would be a coalition to take out the terrorists. Just wild to me how Israel is under constant barrage and they just have to deal with it as a fact of life. Like, new homes and offices must come with bunkers and shelters. That’s fucking insane to me. I guess it’s also insane to me how civilians in that region just have to deal with psychotic terrorists who use them as human shields while they launch rockets from schools and hospitals.
Whole thing is fucked and it’s not going to end anytime soon. Any ceasefire will last for a period of time and then an attack or bombing will happen and we will all be back to square one blaming both sides for whatever best supports our view of the conflict. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1 month, 1 year or 10 years. It will inevitably pop off once again because fanatic, religious extremists will always have a the trump card of “God is on our side” and to them, the stakes are high enough that just about anything will be forgiven once they claim victory.

Suck a dick. Should’ve called for this ceasefire last year. Too late now.

Business as usual.
At the very least innocent Lebanese citizens can evacuate.

We can have a ceasefire when there’s no rockets left to lob at Israeli civilians.
hiricinee on
Hezbollah fires barrages of rockets across the border: US and EU do nothing.
Israel destroys half the rockets– “WE NEED A CEASE FIRE”
Either the Lebanese need to take care of their Hezbollah problem or they should be rejoicing in Israel liberating them from their oppressors.

The message to Israel is clear- do what you need to do. All that the west will do is hold Iran proper back but you’re on your own otherwise.
Ceasefire calls were for a year ago. Not once Israel starts handing hezb its ass.

These diplos are like school teachers. They get mad when you fight back. Fuck em.

And what will they do when Hezbollah inevitably breaks that ceasefire the same day?
Kannigget on
So, they want to give Hezbollah time to reconstitute its hierarchy so it can attack again and murder more Israelis? Are they mad?
nemesit on
yeah no let them finish the job so there will hopefully be a much larger “ceasefire” at the end
AyDylo on
It’s the right call imo, but it needs to come with assurances that Iran and allies won’t re-arm them during the ceasefire.
Give some time for a last attempt at negotiating the end of the war in Gaza. If I were Israel, I would make sure everyone knows that it’s the last attempt, and after what happened with the airstrikes and pagers.. I think Hamas and everyone will come to the table.
And if it still fails, well.. then that gives Israel more support in them escalating and finishing Hamas and Hezbolah
Tulip_Todesky on
Lebanon tied themselves together with Gaza in this conflict – release the hostages and there will be a ceasefire. Why is that so hard for these world leaders to understand?
Kitakitakita on
I roll my eyes at the Palestinian stuff, but Lebanon? Lebanon isn’t Israel. Lebanon is firing missiles into Israel, and they have every right to defend themselves (though I still don’t understand why we give them free bombs while their healthcare system is leagues better than our own)

Israel: Don’t tell us what to do
Also Israel: Money please!
Isreal: Anyways, I started blasting.
Where have they been at October 8th?
easy clap
Highly doubt that’s going to do anything
