minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink-21•3 months agoThere’s no way they’re just going to accept incoming rockets as a part of normal life. As long as Hezbollah keeps attacking them, they are going to retaliate
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink27•3 months agoChange rockets to airstrikes and ethnic cleansing and Hezbollah to Israel and you’ll understand how everyone in the region feels about Israel.
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink-17•3 months agoDo you think the current situation is going to turn out better than if Hezbollah hadn’t attacked?
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink7•3 months agoIn Lebanon? Probably not, by definition. In Palestine? Almost definitely yes. Edited because I misread/misinterpreted better as worse.
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink0•3 months agoCan you explain how this is going to turn out ‘better’ for Lebanon? Innocent Lebanese (unless your point is there aren’t any?) are dying every day
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink5•3 months agoOh shit I meant worse, not better. Worse for Lebanon, better for Palestine.
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink0•3 months agoCan you explain how this is going to turn out ‘better’ for Palestine? I’d say that it just further discredits the call for a two-state solution
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink4•3 months agoFirst, it takes heat off Gaza and the West Bank, especially if the conflict escalates further. Second, I’d say that it just further discredits the call for a two-state solution how so? Discredits the call for a two state solution according to who and for what reason?
minus-square@Dkarma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•3 months agoDo you think hezbollah is attacking because of the ethnic cleansing already going on via “settlers” or nah?
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•3 months agoI think Hezbollah was fantasizing about doing some ethnic cleansing from the moment they were formed
minus-square@SulaymanF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•3 months ago“As long as Israel keeps bombing their country, they are going to retaliate.” The cycle of violence continues.
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink-1•3 months agoYeah, if you convince yourself that it was Israel that restarted it on oct 8th, I’m sure you can get some solid sleep (while people actually living there don’t have that privilege)
minus-square@SulaymanF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•3 months agoLikewise if you can pretend all history only started October 7 then you can make yourself sound like the victim. But we both know better, I assume?
minus-square@nonailsleft@lemm.eelinkfedilink-2•edit-23 months agoI’m making myself sound like the victim? It’s weird that you want to sound concerned about the cycle of violence continuing and then want to argue that last October doesn’t really matter
They really want a full on war, don’t they?
They know they have unlimited support from the US no matter what they do.
They want land. They will murder to get it.
There’s no way they’re just going to accept incoming rockets as a part of normal life. As long as Hezbollah keeps attacking them, they are going to retaliate
