Israel is unhinged.

I just can't understand what Israel is thinking now. At first they had sympathy for the October 7 attacks, but that quickly disappeared with their massive attacks on Gaza. Now moving on the Lebanon and Yemin, this will never end well, and they are just empowering more hatred towards them!

@The Ripper

How is that, when Hezbollah has been shooting missiles into Israeli civilian populations on a daily basis since October 7?

.

Oh my!

Suggesting that October 7th is the start of all this violence is absolutely blinkered.

So many innocent people recently dead or maimed

Also,Israel has resorted to assassination after assassination to goad its enemies.

The assassinations on Iranian soil and cyber warfare targeting civilian utilities are some of rhe destructive acts Israel has engaged in well before Hamas invaded on October 7th.

Also,witness the maiming and killing using the rigged pagers.This scheme was hatched over two years ago.

Israel is by no means an innocent player in all this.

It’s not necessary to defend the indefensible when the whole world has already condemned Israel as acting outside the scope of international law.

Israel was providing polio vaccinations for up to 200,000 people a day.

Provided by UNRWA, not Israel.

You know you have a great argument when you use caps

Do the Jews also claim Lebanese land too?

The Israeli state claims to act in its defense but the actions speak to ‘offense’

Do the Jews also claim Lebanese land too?

There was an article publish in the Jerusalem Post last week titled 'Is Lebanon part of Israel's promised territory?' It has since been deleted.

You can find it here.

The short answer according to the article is 'yes'.

Collective punishment equals war crime!

This is what history will remember them for? The people of Israel are really okay with that?

Someone explain please.

Its called collective punishment. Israels MO.

Israel is commiting war crimes, killing 1000s of children, babies women deliberately is not a self defense but genocide, period.

Israel let them in "wallace". You didn't know that?

That is not the same as your comment provided by Israel. UNRWA has been in Gaza for decades so nothing new.

Netanyahu hates Biden and won't listen any further. A ground war will happen and the US will be powerless to prevent it.

War is launched by one sovereign country against another soverign country. The goal is to bring an end to the existence of the other country, and annihilate its population. Raids targetted aginst civilian population, with the goal of slaughtering them (and burn and rape them as well) are carried out. The attacked country receives a rain of missiles. The attacked country responds, but is being taught by the world that it is not polite to respond against a sovereign country.

How does destroying a power station in Yemen prevent the launching of missiles?

There is a huge IDF ground force massing on Lebanon border indicating a ground invasion is imminent.

IDF prepares to invade southern Lebanon as 2 more Hezbollah leaders are presumed dead

Unless Biden/Harris administration quicky respond with a clear policy plan of prevention, then a full blown middle eastern war is inevitable.

Biden/Blinken keep sending bombs. Bi Bi continues dropping them on neighboring sovereign countries. Now that's teamwork.

Biden about the Yemen strikes: “I've spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I'm supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they'll settle the strike."

wow, too much time hanging around Kamala.

The solution for the Middle East conflict is coexistence between the Palestinian Arabs and the Israeli Jews.

Israel is unhinged.

man that is an understatement.

Now moving on the Lebanon and Yemin, this will never end well, and they are just empowering more hatred towards them!

Its going to end in a regional war.

Its called collective punishment. Israels MO.

Exactly.

Regardless what you think about Israel, their military organization is perfectly functioning. It's flawless.

Never ever try to start a military confrontation with this country, you will not win.

Sure, I can be banned. Create an echo chamber where only being anti Chinese, anti Russian, anti Muslim, anti Gays, anti Blacks, anti Japanese so and so forth is acceptable, but being anti Israel is a taboo.

I'm not a fan of Israel right now either but what you said is going too far. That's too disrespectful

A starving Hamas with pre-history tools was able to launch such an attack that shaken Israel. US had to send warships to the eastern Mediterranean sea to calm their anxiety and security concerns. 

I'm guessing no one affiliated with Hamas is laughing.

No one affiliated with Hezbollah is laughing either I bet. Try paging them to see if you can get a comment.

Oh, and Ayatollah Khomeini is not laughing either--he scooted off into hiding.

You know, I know, everyone knows it will take only one battle for Israel to cease to exist. 

I don't know. Who is that battle with? When will it happen? Why has it not happened yet?

But enjoy your literal laugh. I'll laugh with you. lol

Whether Israel is right or wrong - cases can probably be made for both - the likes of Iran and the Houthi, Hezbollah and Hamas terror groups will do nothing but make threats of revenge and shake their fists.

I didn't suggest that, I only pointed out that Hezbollah has been shooting rockets at Israeli civilians everyday since then.

And before then too.

So many innocent people recently dead or maimed

Where? I did see over 2800 terrorists were killed and maimed by pagers. Isn't that a good thing? Israel only targets terrorists.

It’s not necessary to defend the indefensible when the whole world has already condemned Israel as acting outside the scope of international law.

The whole world except for the US, the UK... for starters.

Talk about blinkered.

Never ever try to start a military confrontation with this country, you will not win.

Terrorists just have not caught on yet.

"if the choice is between being dead and getting sympathy and being alive and being criticized by your enemies, then we would rather be alive"

Does this make sense to you MarkX? Or do you prefer Israel just lie down and die?

Israel is surrounded by enemies who have codified Israeli deaths into their charters. YOU BETTER BELIEVE ISRAEL DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WORLD OPINION WHEN THEIR LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

HAPPY to oblige my FRIEND! It sends the direct message: HOUTHI REBELS, STOP SENDING BALLISTIC MISSILES AT TEL AVIV, OR YOU WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES

Is that too complicated, or must I explain it in SIMPLER terms?

Moderator: You have made your point. No need for further posts here.

No, Israel is engaged in a war. Casualties happen in war.

My question is, Why is Israel taking such a humane approach to this war? Why does Israel give people advance notice so that they can evacuate buildings before Israel attacks a military site or cove of terrorists there? Why does Israel give food and medicine to its enemy's people? Israel was providing polio vaccinations for up to 200,000 people a day.

Why is Israel acting so humanely in these wars?

Gaza is not a sovereign country.

Claim? What claims? You do know that Israel returned almost the entirety of the Sinai to Egypt for peace (after Egypt tried to invade Israel) AND removed their OWN citizens from Gaza to allow Gazan arabs a chance to create a state (OOPS! they elected Hamas!).

The Israeli state claims to act in its defense but the actions speak to ‘offense’

It's called "preemptive strike". You know that concept that applies when your ENEMY WANTS TO KILL ALL WOMEN AND CHILDREN ISRAEL, because they are Iranian backed Islamists, so you attack before they can do so.

I suppose your solution for Israel is to just wait and die. NOT GONNA HAPPEN lol

Israel is unhinged.

Your definition of unhinged is interesting. If by unhinged you mean preemptively strike an enemy who wants to SLAUGHTER every man woman and child in Israel, because they are Islamist terrorists backed by Iran.

If that's your definition of unhinged, then may we all be unhinged, lest we get murdered instead

It is inspiring though to see Israel keep up the pressure even where threats come in daily from Hezbollah. Hamas, Iran, Houthis et al.

 Now moving on the Lebanon and Yemin, this will never end well, and they are just empowering more hatred towards them!

Not possible to empower more hatred from those who already hate Israel.

Its called collective punishment.

Nothing wrong with collectively punishing the Islamic extremist terrorists.
