        The war didn’t start when Hamas attacked, thousands had been killed and imprisoned up to this point. And even if it did start then, Hamas has a right to defend the sovereignty of Palestine, and Hezbollah has a right to assist in the fight against an active genocide on their borders.

          Actually, it did. A conflict and a war are not the same thing.

          Hezbollah has a right to assist

          Well, the Lebanese Government disagrees.

          If my two dip shit neighbors start fighting, and I decide to throw a rock at one of them, I might not have started the fight, but I certainly stuck my nose in it and don’t get to cry fowl when the neighbor I hit starts fighting me too.

            You call Palestine a dip shit neighbor? You are the dip shit

            I decide to throw a rock at one of them, I might not have started the fight, but I certainly stuck my nose in it and don’t get to cry fowl when the neighbor I hit starts fighting me too.

            Israel is threatening the whole middle east with i’s greater Israel project. Just like europe, it is not waiting for Russia to finish off Ukraine to deal with the russian threat

            Who is crying foul? The people of Lebanon support Hezbollah, their government undermines their legitimate defense in the interest of catering to foreign powers and protecting themselves. The Zionists have attacked Lebanon for decades and have made it no secret they intend to annex parts of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has proven capable of resisting the Zionist invasion attempting to take their lands, would you rather they sit on their weapons and do nothing while they watch innocent people be slaughtered by the thousands?

            People talk about what they would do if they were alive when the Nazis were commiting their genocide, should we not encourage every group like Hezbollah to fight with all they can to stop these atrocities that we can all clearly see?

              The Zionists have attacked Lebanon for decades

              Actually, the border was largely peaceful until the 1969 Cairo Agreement.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Agreement_(1969)

              This agreement allowed Palestinians to bring weapons to Lebanon. Then the Israelis started getting massacred non-stop

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avivim_school_bus_bombing

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiryat_Shmona_massacre

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_road_massacre

              48 hours after the Coastal Road Massacre, they invaded South Lebanon.

                Can you tell me the number of casualties on both sides. Let’s take kids for example. And then tell me who is massacring who exactly.

                It never ceases to amaze me how you can still claim you are the victim when numbers tell a completely different story.

                Israel logged over 35,000 violations of Resolution 1701 between 2006 and early 2024 and over 10,000 Israeli air and ground violations in the single year following 2024 ceasefire

              You can say they are justified, that’s fine. You are more than welcome to hold that belief, hell I believe it myself.

              That doesn’t change the situation. They may not have started the fight, but they certainly turned themselves into a target by their own actions.

                  I mean sure, if you want to redefine the “situation” we are talking about. Here let me try, now we’re talking about the shrinking size of Lebanese kebabs, and now none of the past conversation makes any sense or is in any way relevant to this new topic I decided we are now talking about.

        Did you not even read what you posted?

        In October 2023, Hezbollah launched a rocket campaign on Israel in support of Gaza, which was being bombarded by Israel following a Hamas-led surprise attack on Israel that saw 1,139 people killed and some 250 taken captive. Israel returned fire.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
