You still have millions of people in Gaza and Lebanon who got bombed by Israel. Whether it's the existing groups or new groups going forward, the grievances are still there and bigger than ever. Let's wait a few before we declare anything changed.
- ipnon 2y agoAll of my Lebanese friends, quite young, have stories about the wars with Israel. The helicopters and bombs over Beirut. Waking up in fear in the night. They have been grieved in regards to Israel their whole life. In this respect not much has changed.

- lynndotpy 2y agoI think that was the above poster's point. None of us would like to become a target because of the foreign policy of the country we live in and our allies.
- cnlevy 2y agoThey wouldn't dare speak against Hezbollah. Or they were Shias ?
- underdeserver 2y agoAll Israelis have stories about rockets over Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and Be'er Sheba. Waking up in fear in the night, for over a year now, and before that in previous rounds. At least the Lebanese see that the targets were military, and strikes were, more or less, precise. Peace between Israel and Lebanon is a necessity for both sides, and both sides suffered greatly over the many years of conflict. There is no real reason for there not to be peace between these two countries, except for latent animosity, mostly on the Lebanese side. I hope they can overcome it.
- bbqfog 2y agoAlso hundreds of millions of people outside of the Middle East who now very much do not support Israel. They've lost any goodwill they may have had and that's an understatement.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoYes but Hezbollah and Hamas caused enough grievances on their own. They were violent, far-right, Iran-backed terrorists that suppressed any sort of grassroots self-organization. Isreal wanted them there, they were easy to control, easy to use as an excuse to do whatever they pleased. I doubt the youth of Gaza or Lebanon are stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice.
- istjohn 2y agoI doubt the Palestinian people are going to just sit and watch Israel slowly usurp what remains of their homeland. It's never a good idea to underestimate the price a people are willing to pay for their freedom. The French learned that in Algeria, the British in Ireland, and the US in Veitnam.
- klipt 2y agoAnd yet the British still hold Northern Ireland. France still holds a piece of South America. The US still holds Native American land.
- wqaatwt 2y agoI fail to see the connection… NI is free to leave the UK whenever they want to. Same applies to French Guiana. They aren’t oppressed by anyone (not anymore.. anyway)
- Aloisius 2y ago> The French learned that in Algeria, the British in Ireland, and the US in Veitnam. One of those things is not like the others.
- wat10000 2y agoWhich one?
- DiscourseFan 2y agoThe unfortunate truth is that, compared to Hamas, arabs are more free under Israeli rule. Its a terrible trick, but creating a despotic enemy, making yourselves out to be the land of reason and civilization, its all part of their game plan.
