Why? Why is Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel? You don't mention Gaza or Palestinians, yet it's right there (and been there for 75+ years).

- ardfard 2y agoYou forgot to mention your neighbor razed the yard and killed some relatives too. Throwing some Molotovs, while it may not justified, is still an expected reaction.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoHezbollah is firing rockets to conduct terrorism on the civilian population living in the area. Are you are OK with terrorism if you feel it's justified?

- _DeadFred_ 2y agoHad Israel killed 15000 people when Hezbollah launched, I think it was 3000 rockets at civilians in an attempt to overwhelm Israel's iron dome defenses for civilians, during and immediately after Oct 7th, partnering with Hamas in ending the semi-peace that had been in place in order to kill the maximal amount if Israeli civilians/instill maximal fear? We are talking about those attacks on this thread about Lebanon.
- kombine 2y ago> order to kill the maximal amount if Israeli civilians This is hasbara. Both are part of the same wider conflict in which Israel is aiming to eliminate Palestine from the map. There was never peace to begin with, including before October 7. Israeli gradual decade-long land grabs are an act of war in themselves.

- WorkerBee28474 2y ago> Why is Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel? Hezbollah states that their aims include destroying Israel, instilling a Muslim government in the land, and converting the people to Islam. They have explicitly said that they will never coexist peacefully.

- hersko 2y agoI never understood this logic. We made peace with the Japanese and Germans after the horrors of WWII. There will probably be peace between Russia and Ukraine at some point. Only Arabs attacking a specific country seem to be infantilized to the point where every retaliation is destined to perpetuate the conflict.
- shiroiushi 2y ago>As the Americans discovered, this level of radicalization doesn't come naturally to people. It doesn't? Theocratic governments have been around for millennia. They're not some kind of modern invention; they're really just a reversion to how most societies worked in the past.

- ardfard 2y agoNice, using Islam as a scapegoat. Lebanon is a democratic republic that has 43.4% Christian population. If that is their intention, why not focus on their country first rather than attacking Israel?
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoLebanon had a civil war along religious lines. There are many Lebanese Christians in the USA that could help you with what seems to be a misunderstanding about the country. Hezbollah's founders writings at the time are available online, and that they are clear about their goal being the rule of Islam. Their slogan was 'The Islamic Revolution in Lebanon'. They were founded as an Islamic revolutionary group, that is very core to who they are. Highlighting that is hardly 'using Islam as a scapegoat' whatever that means.

- amy-petrik-214 2y ago> Why is Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel? Why, Israel sent them a page and they are merely returning the call, as would be the right thing to do among polite company.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoBy firing thousands of rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas? That is polite, civil, and worthy of a joke to you?
