I see. Guess the Israelis shouldn't have rigged those Hezbollah pagers to explode after all if they couldn't be sure they'd only go to the combat Hezbollah guys and not the relatively innocent "civilian" Hezbollah guys who only handle the diplomatic, political and administrative parts of their terrorist activities.
IMO in conventional war there should be rules followed such as the Geneva Convention. But terrorist organizations shouldn't get the same consideration. If they attack civilians then everything is on the table.

I guess not according to the rules if there is such a thing in war.

On Saturday’s “CNN This Morning,” IDF Spokesman Maj. Doron Spielman responded to frustration from the White House with Israel over ceasefires by stating that “for an entire year, Hezbollah has been firing rockets, over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and killer drones and no one talked about a ceasefire. Now that Israel’s actually taking the assertion to try to protect its civilians, we’re calling for a ceasefire.” And stated that “the world, instead of demanding [that Israel have] a ceasefire, should be demanding that Hezbollah pull out.”

The IDF are proven liars, you're a fool to trust anything they say

Netanyahu is doing this because once the wars end he goes in the slammer for corruption charges, until then he's safe

He'll bomb Finland next and find some excuse if it keeps him in power longer

No one left to bomb in Hezbollah.

“The United States has, though, been moving forces into the region since last spring in case Iran — the elephant in the room — gets involved.”
For the first time in decades no U.S. soldier is in a war zone.

We're not at war. Doesn't mean war isn't being waged against our interests.

So you think that they have no rights to keep their citizens safe ?

What Israel should do is relocate all Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank to southern Lebanon. They want a two state solution so there you go.
Honestly, I think there’s been a lot of Lebanese people giving Intel to Israel because they want the Palestinians out as well.

I think two things can be true at the same time. The prime minister knows he's potentially in for it if the wars stop but Israel has every right to knock out Hezbollah and Hamas' war-making capabilities.

So you don't want an immediate ceasefire like Joe Biden does?
