  1. If they are ordered to go in, let’s all wish them the best as they take on the fanatical Islamic terrorists that have destroyed Lebanon

  2. This whole situation would have been avoided if UN resolution 1701 had ever been enforced by anyone.

    I kind of feel like Israel struck into Gaza against Hamas and then looked around and thought “well, everyone is all pissed at us anyway, might as well deal with all our problems while we’re at it”.

    I hope this doesn’t end in some humanitarian mess (even though, obviously, fuck hezbollah).

  4. Possible? Of course it is happening, is no one following the clear preparation done in the last weeks?

    Remember when 2020 came and boomers made fun of young generations not having to deal with anything hard besides Covid? Life is just crazy since then

  7. Well, let’s hope they have a narrow scope mission, with defined goals, and don’t end up doing what the US did for 20yrs.

    The last thing they need is to find themselves having to try and occupy a large portion of Lebanon, stretching their forces, and leaving them open to the endless IED/ambush attacks that US forces dealt with.

    Even their own internal reviews found that over-deployment to the north, and the hyper focus on taking over the West Bank, was a part of what left the south, and the Kibbutz’s unguarded.

    Hey I’ve got a great idea, let’s start a fight with our bigger stronger neighbor, whose primary concern is ensuring their perpetual existence.

    *Morgan Freeman voice* It was a fucking stupid idea.

  9. Thank you, everyone, for using my tax money on decades of nonsolutions that have lead to this point. 

    Yes, do please leave the receipt with me, I totally understand.

  10. What’s the end game, here? Completely gutting their military capabilities or full annexation? Either one is going to have extreme ramifications.

  11. They must’ve had intel Hezbollah was gonna do something big, probably around the Oct 7 anniversary
