You certainly got defensive when I pointed it out.

Otherwise you’d agree

The Greater Israel Project.

Look at the IDF soldiers arm patches on their uniforms. That’s why these wars are being fought.

No I didn't. I just pointed out the truth in the matter.

This isn't a difficult situation really. Israel told Lebanon, "hey, listen, if we go to war with Iran and Hezbollah attacks our country from within your borders, we are going to frick you up."

And they still attacked. They can't say they weren't warned. They even told them what they would target, including civilian infrastructure in Beirut.

Lebanon needs to clean Hezbollah out of they want that to stop. They're a g-damn terrorist organization and they hold seats in Lebanon's parliament. While I don't support it, I'm also not going to condemn it. It's a Lebanon problem.

You keep saying they.

The Lebanese military is a COMPLETELY separate entity from hezbollah and they are at odds. The army has been trying to disarm hezbollah for years.

I have a problem with Israel bombing lebanese people in response to hezbollah attacks bc lebanese people are largely Christians and not shia muslims.

My point is you cant paint lebanon with the same brush as iraq/syria/gaza bc it is a uniquely different situation. I caution you on remaining ignorant of that

This does not change the fact that it is still a Lebanese problem. Again, Hezbollah holds seats in parliament.

I never said you can paint them all with the same brush and I'm not ignorant of the demographics within Lebanon. I have a good friend from Lebanon and we have talked a lot about this. As soon as that shite began I was all over it out of worry for his family that is still there in Beirut.

At the end of the day though, this is still a situation that Lebanon itself needs to fix.

They bombed a priest on march 9th

This is my point.

If you fire into the general Lebanese population you will hit christians. It is a different animal to the rest of ME

This is not enough justification for me to support bombing lebanese people.

The military is trying but Israel bombing civilians in lebanon makes it harder

Their intelligence, which is very good, tells them that these areas are places where Hezbollah leaders are hiding.

They also threatened to take out the airport in Beirut.

It's not all that dissimilar than you see elsewhere over there actually in the sense that these radical Muslim types hide among the innocent population.

There's something people need to understand. The US and Israel are taking these frickers out. And yes, it sucks for the people in the crossfire, but again, Lebanon should have dealt with their bullshite themselves. It shouldn't have ever come to this.

Who’s feeding you information? Serious question.

The bomb strikes in Beirut are in Shia neighborhoods. You didn’t know that?

Yes, of course they are. That’s what they do.

You following RT now?

I know my Christian friends in Beirut haven’t budged from their house and they say the strikes are centered in Shia neighborhoods.
