Yep, it's just a grim propaganda cycle.I can't find anything funny in all this. I especially can't find anything funny in those who still to this day are claiming Israel are defending themselves, not killing indiscriminately and they have the right to do this or are in some way victims. Especially when all the evidence undeniably shows they are the aggressors and how many times they have been caught out with lies.
It's fecking disgusting.

This is the reason of current situation. Hezbollah thought the war of attrition will go on literally forever and people in Israel will get used to daily barrage of missiles and mounting bills for Iron Dome (or other missile defense systems). That assumption is now over.

here, hope this help too.

I need more information to understand the "current situation". What's the exchange rate on a single Israeli defense system armament and a Lebanese civilian?This is the reason of current situation.

Interesting if true

It’s unlikely but the average Israeli citizen maybe realising the IDF can’t go around mass murdering the populations of Gaza and Lebanon without facing push back will give some pause for thought.Worrying. It'll just exacerbate things further and more innocents from both sides are going to suffer whilst their respective militaries just say "feck it, fire".
Gallant refers to resolution 1701 in response to Guterres.
It's happening again isn't it? This time they're attacking a sovereign country. They can do whatever the feck they want.So Lebannon is hezbollah and anyone should be considered a terrorist, right?
Well if this happens then the escalation would be insane by the USA.
Historically any threat to the navy is met with considerable overreaction
Interesting if true
Would be less surprising if they let those through on purpose, thereby 'justifying' the slaughter of another batch of 500 Lebanese civilians.
Actually who am I kidding. They're gonna do it regardless
Facts for you are one sided propaganda. Ok.Nice source that fails to show how many attacks were retaliating and how many Israel caused in those regions.
One sided propaganda bullshit as always. Yet you are the first to claim one sided bias in these forums. It's beyond pathetic, so transparent and insulting to everyone.
You are not teacher giving me assignments. Why you never provided information how many missiles Hezzbolah launched at Israel? Maybe you can also provide information what is Acled methodology and what is meant under "attack". And what and how BBC verified. And why was verification necessary. Please keep this civil, I am not obliged to reply you in minutes.Now show us how much Israel was bombing.
Wait. I already tagged you, but you disappeared, as usual.
I have something else to work out for you.I need more information to understand the "current situation". What's the exchange rate on a single Israeli defense system armament and a Lebanese civilian?
Obviously I'm not going to ask for the rate for a Lebanese civilian killed during the indiscriminate attack where kids were killed by exploding Israeli pagers, because that might take too long to work out.
Bold words when you have former CIA directors calling it terrorism and various UN officials questioning the legality of the operation. And if it was as precise and proportionate then there wouldn't be so many injured children because of it.The pagers will go down in history as one of the most (if not THE most) precise and proportionate anti-terrorist operation of this scale.
It will go down as a one-shot dubious PR stunt with a very questionable efficacity, one of the greatest indiscriminate terrorist attacks ever carried out by a country, and a war crime.I have something else to work out for you.

The rate of civilians killed by Hezbollah in Majdal Shams... I will do the math for you...is 100%. You can continue and compare the rates. It might be very quick to work out.

It is actually a precise operation because children were killed and injured. Because that is exactly what the bloodthirsty israeli terrorists want to do, and exactly what their terrorist sympathizers justify, applaud and celebrate.Bold words when you have former CIA directors calling it terrorism and various UN officials questioning the legality of the operation.

If you want to use argument from authority at least wrote what Panetta said.Bold words when you have former CIA directors calling it terrorism and various UN officials questioning the legality of the operation.

Is Ove Bring good enough authority for you?John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, told Newsweek: "By all rational and informed analysis, yes the page/walkie-talkie operation is legal (still not attributed to Israel which matters), from a law of armed conflict (sometimes called international humanitarian law) the operation passes all fundamental laws of war necessity, proportionality, and distinction. It was a very precise sabotage of an enemy piece of equipment used for military purposes."
Source.With what is known today, international law professor Ove Bring thinks that it does not appear that international law has been violated in the attacks on Lebanon. - At the moment, I think it looks like a completely legal operation.
What Hamas and other perpetrators did on October 7 was the greatest indiscriminate terrorist attack. It is funny how all of you now take Panetta's opinion as gospel. Let's wait and see if you do the same if Petraeus says something, or other former CIA director or whatever representative from the west, which you hate so much.It will go down as a one-shot PR stunt with a very questionable efficacity, one of the greatest indiscriminate terrorist attacks ever carried out by a country, and a war crime.
Majdal Shams is part of the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights, you should remember that. The tragedy was caused by either a stray Hezbollah rocket aimed at a nearby Israeli military base or an errant Iron Dome missile sent to intercept it. The town never was the intended target.
No problem, he said exactly this;If you want to use argument from authority at least wrote what Panetta said.
I'd ask you the same question. Do you think that a guy who runs a podcast at West Point, far from an expert of whatever you think he's an expert on, should have a say more than a former CIA Director simply because the CIA guy says something that YOU don't agree with.Is expert from West Point good enough for you? Or only if he says what you agree with?
I'm sure you'll be able to give me the exact data since you've told me with such conviction this will go down as the most precise and proportionate anti-terrorist operation ever. For now we know that at least two kids have been killed, which already seems like enough for any decent human being.You wrote "so many". How many is that? What is the rate? Do you have independently verified data?
