Zionists desire war. We are enabling them. We need to stop doing that.

It is self defense, hezbolla literally shot thousands of rockets into Israel.

So to be clear, you are saying Israel has done nothing improper over the last 2 years in its actions towards Palestinians?

Besides being pretty reckless in this war right now? Or do you mean the “settlers” thing? Cause there isn’t more that is proven.

hamas didn’t just come into existence 2 years ago btw.

“pretty reckless” is something you might say about driving while intoxicated, not sure how it applies to a large scale, protracted military operations.

What “settlers” thing are you referring to?

Hamas was formed in 1987, are you suggesting Israel has done nothing improper since then?

This fake narrative that everything Israel does is self-defese is getting old. You can’t claim self-defese if you make the first strike. Imagine trying to explain to the cops that you killed the intruder 500 km from your home in self-defense… That’s basically your idiotic argument.

It described the barrage as a response to the assassination of senior military commander Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut on 30 July.

Assassination doesn’t sound very self-defensive…

Its absolutely justified to kill the head of a terrorist organization, it causes chaos and gives the bottom line (many child soldiers especially in case of hezbolla, https://www.dw.com/en/child-soldiers-used-in-yemen-civil-war-report-says/a-49606125) a chance to flee and live their lifes, hezbolla has been firing rockets into Israel for years and after 7. Oktober it where thousands within a few days. Your narrative is quite literally what their propaganda is, that is however absolutely not the truth.

And no, to pick up your analogy, its like killing a organized crime boss that commands his gang of kids to drive-by on your house from time to time because you have another religion/ethnicity.

Nowhere did I said it’s not morally justified. I said it’s not self-defense. And it’s not.

And you seem to be keen to pretend that Hezbollah is the only party here firing the rockets. Israel fired rockets into Lebanon for years too and murdered a lot of civilians. Killing fighters be it IDF, Hamas or Hezbollah is one thing, killing civilians is another. If you can somehow justify to yourself killing children, you are a monster.
