Hezbollah just signed Lebanon's death warrant. Launching rockets at a soccer field in Northern Israel and killing 10 kids is going to cost them big time. Beirut is going to be shaking soon.
Has it ever dawned on you that maybe Hamas and Hezbollah are provoking Israel? Why might they want to do that?
Has the concept of sovereignty occurred to you? If you start a war you better damn have a better plan than crying to the UN for a ceasefire. If the Sinaloa cartel launched an attack that killed 10 kids on a soccer field in San Diego and Mexico didn't immediately move to crush the cartel, you better believe that US tanks would be rumbling through Mexico City and anywhere else to do the job themselves. Unfortunately, due to Iran, hezbollah has more firepower than the official Lebanese govt so there is no choice but to strike.
Wouldn't Israel be playing into their hands? Why attack someone who is provoking you to attack?
I think they showed reserve when responding to the provocations until the recent one where Hamas invaded and murdered, raped, and kidnapped Israelis. Not sure how they will handle the recent one where Hezbollah murdered a bunch of kids playing soccer, despite not really being at war with Israel (outside of the usual and ongoing Islamic Jihad where Hezbollah and Hamas wish death upon Israel).
Maybe the Easter Bunny and Kamala Harris can bring peace to the region?
What might bring peace to the region is the American public being better informed about what has been going on in Palestine since the 1940s.
Nearly every assumption about what went down in and around the Gaza war turned out to be wrong, like the allegations of Palestinians using baby dolls to fake toddler killings by the Israelis, or that the Palestinians were bombing their own hospitals, or that the Israelis bombed a hospital because of a Hamas tunnel or weapons being stored there. rather than their policy of bombing every hospital, every school, every campus in a mass ethnic cleansing project, or that Hamas beheaded 40 babies.
All these lies were propaganda narratives created by Israeli outlets and relayed uncritically by the MSM and crooked politicians like Biden, Hillary or Speaker Johnson and countless other GOP tools who have repeated the fabrication about the 40 beheaded babies.
In reality, the Israelis have gone on to burn alive, dismember and crush to death literally thousands of Palestinian babies, with the lies they have diffused covering their ongoing industrial scale massacre of Gazans.
As well, it is not Hezbollah that is provoking Israel, it is the other way around. Israel wants to use the US taxpayer and US military power to destroy Lebanon and wage war on Iran, the same way they got the US to invade and destroy Iraq, Syria and even Libya. Trillions of dollars, millions of innocent lives lost in their Endless Wars for Israel agenda. This is what this current campaign against Lebanon and Iran, the latest chapters in that agenda, is all about.
Oh and the latest incident in the Golan with the dead kids? The victims were Syrians from the occupied Golan Heights, not Israelis. They were clearly not targeted by Hezbollah, which denied being responsible, and were most likely Israeli AA Iron Dome missiles falling down.
British journalist Jonathan Cook on this incident and its intentional miscoverage:

BBC coverage of the attack on a football pitch in the Golan Heights has been intentionally misleading.The BBC's evening news entirely ignored the fact that those killed by the blast are 12 Syrians, not Israeli citizens, and that for decades the Syrian population in the Golan has been forced to live unwillingly under an Israeli military occupation.I suppose mention of this context might complicate the story Israel and the BBC wish to tell and risk reminding viewers that Israel is a belligerent state occupying not just Palestinian territory but Syrian territory too (not to mention nearby Lebanese territory).
It might suggest to audiences that these various permanent Israeli occupations have been contributing not only to large-scale human rights abuses but to regional tensions as well. That Israel's acts of aggression against its neighbours might be the cause of "conflict", rather than, as Israel and the BBC would have us believe, some kind of normal, pre-emptive form of self-defence.The BBC, of course, chose to uncritically air comments from a military spokesman for Israel, who blamed Hizbullah for the blast in the Golan.
Daniel Hagari tried to milk the incident for maximum propaganda value, arguing: "This attack shows the true face of Hizbullah, a terrorist organisation that targets and murders children playing soccer."Except, as the BBC forgot to note, in 2014 Israel infamously targeted and murdered four young children from the Bakr family playing football on a beach in Gaza.And much more recently, video footage showed Israel striking yet more children playing football at a school in Gaza that was serving as a shelter for families whose homes were destroyed by earlier Israeli bombs.Doubtless other strikes in Gaza over the past 10 months, so many of them targeting school-shelters, have killed Palestinian children playing football especially as it's one of the very few ways they can take their mind off the horror all around.
So, should we and the BBC not conclude that all these attacks on children playing football make the Israeli military even more of a terrorist organisation than Hizbullah?
The BBC next went to Jerusalem to hear from diplomatic editor Paul Adams. He intoned gravely:
"This is precisely what we have been worrying about for the past 10 months that something of this magnitude would occur on the northern border, that would turn what has been a simmering conflict for all of these months into an all-out war."
So there you have it. Paul Adams and the BBC concede they haven't been worrying for the past 10 months about the genocide unfolding under their noses in Gaza, or its consequences. A genocide of Palestinians, apparently, is not something of significant "magnitude".Only now, when Israel can exploit the deaths of Syrians forced to live under its military rule as a pretext to expand its "war", are we supposed to sit up and take notice. Or so the BBC tells us."
