And when will we be stepping in to revert every other border taken by force over the last 70 years?

Theres a lot… That’s kinda how wars work.

Yes? I’ve never claimed they aren’t bad. The US does it too, along with pretty much every country who goes to war because international law and the rules of war are bullshit.

There are no rules in war other than “win”

They’re committing war crimes constantly. Attacking civilians and using human shields by building their bases in residential buildings.

They aren’t fulfilling any sort of duty.

Yes, because then it would be a recognized war between countries and Israel could seek other measures of retaliation. As it stands, Hezbollah gets to use a whole country as a human shield against things like international sanctions. Right now the only sanctions on Lebanon are for weapons, because other sanctions would lead to an even more massive humanitarian problem with how shit a state the country is in.

It’s one of the worst countries in the world right now. It lost 90% of its economic output since 2019 and something like 85% of the population is living below the poverty line.

Sure. War is war. Actions have consequences though, they should expect retaliation.

Absolutely is Israels call when that group is attacking them.

They don’t get a free attack pass just because there’s a border.

Yes it does work like that, and bombing them anyways is the counter.

Would be nice if we had an easier way to solve problems, but it’s not realistic.

Wow, some people clearly need to read more books. It’s a reference.

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.

It’s literally terrorist 101 to use human shields. This tactic has been used by every insurgency in the last hundred years.

It’s why it was added as a war crime.

As for the second one to commit a war crime. If you follow the rules, but your enemy doesn’t, you will lose. This is the international equivalent of the bunch buggy no punch back bullshit that let’s people hit you with no retaliation.

To protect the US from rockets from… Canada?

Residential buildings that Hezbollah intentionally set up a headquarters in the basement of.

Thats already a war crime by Hezbollah.

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.

If it’s a war crime to target non-combatants, then Hezbollah is already committing the war crimes with their rocket attacks on Israel. So is using human shields.

If your enemy isn’t following the “rules” why should you be required to do so?

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.
