    When Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on Oct 8, it wasn’t because Hezbollah was in “despair” or because Israel had put Hezbollah “in a cage” or because Hezbollah had “a minimum of food”.

    Hezbollah wanted to start a fight with Israel. And it got one.

      Would you agree in characterizing SOME of the settlers in the West Bank as terrorists? Would that justify bombing all Israelis there?

      You just made my point.

        Bombing by who? Hezbollah? No, because those settlers aren’t operating in Lebanon.

        Yours is the same reasoning Russia used to justify invading Ukraine. Even if SOME people in Azov can be characterized as fascists, as long as Azov remains in Ukraine there is no justification for Russia to attack them.

            It’s hilarious that you think that Hezbollah is justified in launching rockets against Israel because it has a “beef”.

            Simple logic is that a nation can justify a military response to an actual attack.

            Israel didn’t attack Hezbollah. Hezbollah attacked Israel. Now Israel is responding.
