Thankfully this was stopped preventing further escalation of the war.

Not sure why it's only an 'escalation' if someone other than Israel does it, I don't think this spells anything good for the civilians living in the region.

Where exactly did anyone say it's an escalation only if someone other than Israel does it?

Are you able to respond to a post without whataboutisms / strawman arguments?

preventing further escalation

Seemed to be what you were implying. Israel made a 'pre-emptive' strike into a foreign territory. That's not exactly de-escalation.

Not sure how this is relevant. You should probably google these terms some day since you keep using them.

What on earth are you on about?

Hezbollah tried to launch 6000 rockets at Israel even though they are a 3rd party to the war. Israel took out their rocket launchers before they could. Hezbollah still managed to get 300 rockets off. Should Israel have let the attack proceed?

Stopping a massive attack by a 3rd party against Israel is absolutely de-escalation in every sense of the word.

I can absolutely guarantee with 1000% certainty if the US fired a barrage of 6000 rockets at Hezbollah you would be calling it genocide. It's amazing how your opinion changes depending on who is doing what.

Hezbollah said it carried out strikes towards Israel in response to the killing of top military commander Fu’ad Shukr last month in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a populous neighborhood that is also the Iran-backed group’s stronghold.

So Israel killed someone in Lebanon last month. Hardly coming out of nowhere.

RE: the bolded, you wouldn't be doing that thing where you make things up about someone again?

So Israel takes out a Hezbollah commander who has:

• launched repeated attacks on Israel
• openly declares intent to destroy Israel
• is openly anti semitic

Apparently a normal response to this is to attempt mass murder of Israeli civilians by attempting to fire 6000 rockets in one attack.

 

[Zidane98]

Sounds like some posters are disappointed the Hezbollah attack didn't succeed.

So not a 3rd party it seems.

As I said:

[Zidane98]

As I said:

"Sounds like" is different to actually said so. Why would you respond to this post anyway?

 

[faible]

"Sounds like" is different to actually said so.

So it is you just making shit up?

 

[Zidane98]

No, that would be the poster that said "it's only ever an escalation when someone other than Israel does it".

That statement is 100% bullshit.

You made a statement that seemed to imply Israel dropping bombs in a foreign country wasn't an escalation. Despite this being an escalation from the last time Israel dropped bombs in a foreign country.

****ing hell you get drone striked for being antisemitic these days?

So Israel assassinate someone in Beirut, killing 4 civilians and wounding 80 others. Then 'pre-emptively' strike Lebanon again with 100 fighter jets. And this is de-escalation, and a good thing?

 

[Zidane98]

So just to confirm - you now agree that your statement that "it's only ever an escalation when someone other than Israel does it" is false.

Also, any reasonable minded person would view stopping a mass attack before it happens as de-escalation.

We certainly would be in a better place if the Oct 7 attack was stopped by taking out those who were plotting it for sure.

If Hezbollah were to stop the 100 fighter jets before they attacked would that be ok with you too?

He won't consider the hypocrisy.

Yes they are fuming.

Yes, by not firing a barrage of 6000 rockets at Israel that certainly would have stopped 100 Israeli jets in their tracks.

I agree with you totally here.

That same argument stands with not firing a ballistic missle into Iran

I reckon you’re right.

Only one "side" jazny that celebrates deaths of civilians

Sorry, but using Israel's terms of reference over the past 10 months, wasn't Lebanon just acting in self defense?
