Planting bombs to go off in random places maiming thousands” I support Israel”

Random places being Hezbollah militant’s phones? Seems oddly specific for it to be random. I am not surprised you’re upset about that.

Planting bombs that can go off anytime or anywhere is terrorism by any standards.These weapons are designed to spread fear . I love how “moderates” love them

The people injured and killed are, by and large, Hezbollah. I am sorry that hurt Islamists who want to attack others upsets you so much.

If Israel launch a military operation in response to missiles, it’s evil. If they launch a discriminate attack with minimal other casualties, it’s evil. If Israel do anything other than accept civilians should be at risk of missiles, it’s evil. Meanwhile ‘the people who just want peace’ expect nothing of Hezbollah or Hamas. The ‘anti-racists’ don’t think Arabs have agency.

Who’d want to be an employee of BAC Consulting Hungary today?
The Israelis have put them into the firing line, but does Mossad care? I don’t think so.

You’re assuming it’s not a front for secret services (Mossad, CIA). The NYT is claiming it was likely such. Which is what secret services do. People might find it messy, but what’s the alternative? Let Hezbollah continue to kill Israelis? If a group targets a nation as these terror groups, no other nation would not resort to such infiltration strategies, yet it’s evil when Israel do it.

Military operations inside Lebanon to target Hezbollah would draw ire, since it would involve a high number of civilian casualties. Now discriminate attacks targeting pagers belonging to Hezbollah members is bad because, by and large, terrorists get maimed or front groups* have to face consequences. Never mind that all this is caused by Hezbollah firing missiles willy nilly, that inconvenience can be ignored.

*And if not, why would they be selling to prohibited terrorist groups and proxies of Iran, who want to spread their version of Islamism across the Middle East?

Not only Hezbollah, Israel is now buzzing Beirut, why? Because it can.
Lebanon is a very fragile state suffering from different factions fighting and decades of bullying by Israel.
List of people not wanting peace.
1. Hamas.
2. Hezbollah.
3. Iran.
4. Netenyahu’s Israel.

If Hezbollah didn’t want to involve themselves in military attacks then they shouldn’t have started launching missiles from Oct 8th onwards. It’s the height of ridiculousness that after months of launching missiles that they feign innocence after a response.

With Lebanon being a fragile state, it’s probably an idea for one faction to not launch missile after missile at another nation and cry “bully” when there’s a response?

Netanyahu may want to prolong the war to save his own skin, but I am struggling to get worked up about an attack against militants who are part of the problem.

Lebanon is not strong enough to control Hezbollah, it can barely run itself after the fifteen years of civil war.
Added to that the invasions by Israel and Syria it’s been on its knees since 1990.
Interference from outside has disrupted a fine balance.
Beirut used to be known as the best holiday destination of the middle east. No longer.

Aye. Maybe Hezbollah should have thought of that if they are going to involve themselves in a war and maybe the fault is on them for bringing it to Lebanon with their own actions they decided upon. If they want to attack Israel, I find it silly to bemoan that Israel are targeting their aggressors and not just doing nothing, while accepting Israeli civilians should just be prey to Hezbollah missiles.
