Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire just days before he was assassinated by Israel.

    That’s exactly what Netanyahu and his cronies did to Rabin.

    Temporary ceasefire = “Okay, we finished our turn of attacks, now pause while we resupply, only we get to attack, not you!”

      A temporary ceasefire is the first stop to a permanent ceasefire.

      If Israel wants to win militarily against Hezbollah, i’d say Gaza is a cautionary tale for that. Despite all of the destruction Hamas is weakened but nut destroyed and only very few hostages were freed by force (with insane numbers of Palestinian civillians killed while doing it). The vast majority of hostages was freed by negotiations.

      John Mearsheimer said that military action is a very limited tool. We have seen this in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam…

        A temporary ceasefire is the first stop to a permanent ceasefire.

        One of Hezbollah’s stated goals is the “liberation of Israel”.

          And Likud wants Israel to be “from the river to the sea”. More extreme Israelis want a “greater Israel” from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, to Iraq through Syria up until Turkey.

          But if we want to achieve peace we need to deescalate things, then establish justice and drive the extremists out. The only alternative to deescalation is a great war, that would kill and displaces millions of people and quite possibly start world war 3.

    I don;t wish death on anyone even if I semi dislike them. But to me Hezbollah needs to be cut off like a heroin addicts arm from to much use. From growing up with the dipshits it seems to me that they and iran just wait for Israel to do something they don’t like and fire missles at them. I feel sorry for people of Lebanon and don’t think hurting civs should be the answer. But they put them in power. But and probably get get a lot of shit for me saying this. I have a I don’t care attitude for whatever Israel does to Iran.

      They don’t wait to do anything. They hate Israel for what Israel has done to their Palestinian neighbors as well as to Lebanon and Iran. Hezbollah didn’t just suddenly spring up out of nowhere. The group was literally founded to halt Israeli aggression. This is the only reason Israel hasn’t occupied Lebanon and oppressed them the way they oppress the Palestinians.

      Hezbollah waits for Israel to do war crimes on Palestinians and then fires missiles at them.

      Iran waits to be attacked first before it fires missiles in retaliation.

      What are you even talking about lol
