The Israeli military says its Northern Command has approved operational plans for war with Lebanon.
Israel is ready for an “all-out war” in Lebanon and has plans approved for an offensive targeting Hezbollah, officials have said.
Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in border fighting since shortly after the start of the war on Gaza, following the October 7 attacks on Israel. The confrontation is increasingly expanding, with both sides saying they are ready to go to war.
More than 400 people have been killed in Lebanon, including journalists and paramedics, over the past eight months, with 25 deaths in Israel. At least 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon, and more than 60,000 have been forced from their homes in northern Israel.
next up, invade random countries… don’t mind me I’m just going through Hitler’s to-do list.
Doesn’t Lebanon shoot rockets at Israel? Like pretty frequently?
You can’t really think of Lebanon as a country at this time. It’s a territory where several groups hold various amounts of power. Hzbollah is one of those groups. The “government”, or what passes for it is another.
Palestine isn’t a country. Lebanon isn’t a country. Excited to see Syria, Egypt, and Jordan suffer the same fate.
Palestine isn’t a country. It was offered statehood and turned it down. Lebanon is very much a country.
Palestine isn’t a country.
More countries recognize Palestine as an independent state than Taiwan.
It was offered statehood and turned it down.
It wasn’t offered statehood. It was offered a shell of bureaucracy under the boot of an occupying Israeli military.
Yeah, while Israel has been invading and violating Lebanon’s airspace for much longer than they’ve been shooting rockets.
So not really “invading random countries” like the person I responded to said, right? They’ve been fighting
Yeah Israel should have been sanctioned a long time ago for their airspace invasions. If they proceed with a land invasion, they should be embargoed by the world.
By your logic though, Taiwan should be launching rockets into China because China regularly violates their airspace. It’s just not how normal countries interact with each other man, these people are psychos. Both sides
I just said Israel should be sanctioned. I haven’t made one comment on whether the rockets were good or bad.
I asked hasn’t Lebanon been firing rockets at Israel for a while - you said Israel invades their airspace (implying that firing rockets into Israel was justified)
Doing a Blitzkreg to win some Lebensraum and no I don’t understand why this would be problematic.
Israel continues to get worse and worse.
If someone could just figure out a way to point them at Russia, rather than picking fights with everyone else.
Well, russia be shipping muslims to Belarus like there is no tomorrow. Maybe tell Benny there is a lot of muslims in Belarus and they are coming from russia?
My thought was not “Get Israel to bomb all the people Russia is racist against”.
I meant like russia is Gaza 2.0 and Kadyrov is literally Hamas. Maybe they will fuck off from Palestine.
Kadyrov is literally Hamas
Because he’s Chechyan presiding over a Chechnyan government? I’d think he was more comparable to MBS or Abdullah II, whom Israelis are openly courting.

If the US joins Israel, that pulls in Russia, Iran, Syria, Iraq, and since Russia and NK just did their deal. Likely NK as well.
AIPAC has bought off enough of both sides of the aisle, that our politicians will say we join.
This ain’t the same WW3 shit we’ve been hearing about since the 50s. This shit can pop off at any moment.
Israel isn’t acting rationally and Biden has repeatedly said he will support them under any possible circumstances. So what the fuck is going to happen?
