The leader of Hezbollah was confirmed dead in the attack, so clearly they were using human shields... They have been attacking Israel from a foreign country, and are not part of that countries military, which makes them terrorists.

You don't like the truth, but lying about it doesnt change the facts of the matter.

You realize that the US, Russia, and China have been fighting this way and killing millions of civilians for like 60+ years now right?

Ukraine for example is the US vs Russia/China.

Afghanistan was the US vs Russia a few times.

The whole point of fighting somewhere else is that fewer of your own civilians die.

Because Nukes are a thing, that's why all big countries fight proxy wars now. Ukraine, Israel, Afghanistan... All proxies.

Oh right, all the sanctions and prosecutions against Iran are working so well.

The rest of the world has picked sides, and there are major players on both sides, so nothing can happen.

The US was literally founded by taking the land of another group of people who were there first.

So was pretty much every other modern country.

I think Iran should stop funding terrorists.

If you want to get into who has who's blood on their hands, you've got a very large history book to read. I don't think there is a single non-island country (and even some of those have it) that doesn't have a history steeped in humans killing other humans over the land.

Yes, but "aggressively removed from their homeland in 1948" also means "was voted on and approved by the UN as a direct result of what happened to the Jewish people in the world wars, and the collapse of the Ottoman empire for supporting the axis in WW1."

Their country tried to win a war, and failed. Why shouldn't there be consequences for that, like getting broken up and given in pieces to various more friendly groups.

Germany lost territory after the world wars too, but you don't see them shooting rockets at their neighbors to get it back.

My point about refugees is that Iran is taking literally 0 of them, despite being a major funding and arms source for Hamas and Hezbollah. I was pointing out that Iran doesn't give a shit about the Palestinian people, other than to use them as fodder to hurt Israel.

If two groups claim a territory at the same time, and both have lived there on and off for a few thousand years depending on the activity of dozens of wars. Who exactly has the right to it?

Which was retaliation for Iran funding and arming terrorists. Context does matter.

 

I love Mattias Krantz and his wacky music projects.

 

Interesting decision
