[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]
Yes if Hezbollah stops firing rockets at Israel then Israel should not attack Hezbollah
Hm after they shoot rockets, stopping isn't enough.
Israel has a right to guarantee they can't shoot ever again.
If your neighbor tries to snipe your daughter in the park with a sniper rifle, and fails to kill her, him stopping isn't enough to say "well ok why are you so angry , he stopped".
Until your neighbor and anyone who agrees with him, helped him and so on, is fully neutralized, you have a complete moral right to do absolutely everything to achieve his neutralization, if the police doesn't act on it.

logically, lebanon and palestine can attack israel because israel isnt fully neutralized and israel has been sniping daughters in parks with sniper rifles (literally thousands of times)
is that the point you were trying to make? I could see it
lebanaon, egypt syria and iran all have the right to guarantee israel cant shoot ever again, correct?

Your analogy fails because the neighbour doesn't have a right to guarantee they can't shoot ever again
Well like that's just your opinion man.
And it isn't how the actual world that we are debating works because there are these things called governments and laws. And I can't think of a country that allows its citizens to pursue their own justice, can you?

International law in the Israel v Hezbollah situation is fairly clear, Israel is 100% right and Hezbollah 100% wrong and it's not even controversial is it?
So I thought we were talking subjective moral opinions not the law.
International law says the occupation of the West Bank was illegal, so being a consistently moral person you must support Palestinian rights to launch attacks to guarantee their land can't ever be occupied again.
Welcome to the Palestinian cause. I hoped you'd come over eventually. 👍
Thankfully most agree that it doesn't make a ton of sense that one fighting starts both sides go until the other is annihilated, even at the significant cost to the other side.
Ceasefires are completely valid.
Most of us do because most of us are not nihilists.

Israel basically had a ceasefire with Hezbollah
Israel did nothing to Lebanon to spark rockets
Hezbollah has attacked Israel
Israel needs to let Hezbollah know that they need to mind their business or they are starting a war
I am not in favor of a full blown war with Hezbollah. But isreal is completely within us m its rights
Israel is fighting back now. It's a good thing for Israel to not have to deal with an all out war. Hezbollah stopping and Israel not engaging in a costly war that they can't achieve their goals in anyways is a win for everyone.
Israel is not fighting back. They are symbolically showing they can fight back. But Intel says they are ready to fight back
Israel has killed something like 40x more militants than IDF soldiers have been killed. They are both fighting each other equally.
Israel would be incredibly dumb to invade Lebanon if hezbollah stops.
What about the non-militants?
I don't think it would be smart
But I do think it is justified
wgaf about the US when
Two thirds of the area was occupied by Israel following the 1967 Six-Day War and then effectively annexed in 1981, the latter being rejected by the international community which continues to consider the territory as Syrian and under Israeli occupation.
golan heights or so?

Israel has been killing innocents for throwing rocks, or for nothing at all, from 2006 to 2024. thousands of people have been killed this way. maybe lebanon feels angry about that
gideon levy would get banned itt lol
Israel has been killing kids women and adults for throwing rocks, or for nothing at all, from 2006 to 2024. thousands of people have been killed this way. maybe lebanon feels angry about that
Those kids who were shot and killed for throwing rocks at distance at soldiers aren't kids. No, they're actually child soldiers.

in Lebanon? sorry that was what I was talking about. they have killed a lot of villagers, farmers, and motorists. it seems that they just target them in the South of Lebanon.
but regardless as for Gaza, we have no idea of IDF casualties or Hamas militant casualties. 40x does not sound correct.
Guys, please specify IDF or Israeli government when discussing bombing actions etc. so we avoid any confusion regarding generalizations. Thank you
I’m sorry!! I didn’t do it on purpose I’ll change it rn
Sorry it’s been too long to edit.
