The Israeli military expanded its Lebanon campaign with hundreds of airstrikes on Monday, as the border conflict with Hezbollah threatened to explode into a larger war.

      the 2006 war was pretty much like that. Israel declared the state of Lebanon responsible for the actions of Hezbollah (which is independent of the Lebanese govt. bare a few associated MPs) then proceeded to bomb the shit out of Beirut.

      The policy Israel has employed on Lebanon has always been to try and sow division between the Lebanese govt and Hezbollah to provoke a civil war.

    I’m sick of Israel’s shit. America does not need to get involved in the Middle East again.

    “You know this war we’re slow-walking? That we keep almost negotiating a ceasefire to? Yeah, let’s keep sabotaging that, and start another war, just in case.”

    I also kinda sympathize with American allies looking on from the outside now, as the U.S. is going to no doubt unconditionally support this, because… yeah.

      You know this war we’re slow-walking?

      I get what you’re trying to say but I don’t think they’re slow-walking anything.

      What is USA going to do tho? Admit that the last 75+ years of theft and ethnic cleansing were a mistake? Remove all the zionist operatives that have infiltrated the state, media, education, etc? I doubt it.

    What a malicious headline, when most if not all of the targets yesterday were civilians. Israel simply employed their doctrine of telling civilians to leave at short notice, then declaring anyone who stays a military target.
