News seem to indicate a war between Israel and Hezbollah seems imminent , hopefully they’re wrong

Biden has said they’ll support Israel and several ships are on their way to support Israel

from what I’ve read , hezbollah has got more and stronger weapons than Hamas in Gaza

I can only think about how many innocent civilians are going to die because incompetent politicians and many times men.

Sadly Iran provide weapons to Hamas and Hezbollah and they listen to no one.

You aren't suggesting that because Iran support them we should too are you? Supporting any of the heinous acts I listed imo shouldn't be an option. Any country that supports them and any individual that supports them should be treated the same way, sanctions for counties supporting terrorist attacks and apartheid, convictions for invididuals.

I have just listened to the News at one on Radio 4. I urge you to listen to it. It should be available on BBC sounds.

You are right. Nothing good will come from any of it. That's why it is so important that the West puts pressure on to end this now. No weapons sales to any of them. Sanction all of them. Arrest warrants for all of them. Until all of the rockets stop from Hezbollah and Hamas, all of Israels action on Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon stop, the illegal occupations and apartheid stops.

It is gross to support any of that we should all make that loud and clear.

According to the BBC, the US are sending "a small number" of additional troops to the region.

Oh, and over 350 people have been killed in airstrikes on Lebanon.

Lebanon isn't occupied, yet hezbollah still constantly launch missiles at Israel. Apparently that's how they show support for Hamas. Lebanon don't have control of their own country, hezbollah seem to decide to put the Lebanese people in danger.

A bit like the Houthis ruining their uwn country whilst supporting terrorists in another country.

Terrorists R Us uniting together and putting their poor people at risk. Nothing good will come from this.

They said they would stop firing rockets when there is a ceasefire in Gaza.
The majority of people in the UK want a ceasefire in Gaza - not a repeat in Lebanon of what they have been witnessing in Gaza.

So maybe hezbollah need to stop firing the rockets into Israel, what do they expect 🤔 that Israel just ignore that.

YoYoYoYo12345 · 23/09/2024 19:02

No idea.

One terrorist group launched an attack and still holds hostages. Another terrorist group fires missiles constantly into Israel in support of other terrorist group but also apparently to help get a ceasefire. Yet they gain support and sympathy 🙄crazy

Who here is sympathising and supporting Hamas and Hezbollah?

Israel break International law, they illegally occupy, they enact apartheid and there are most definitely posters here showing them sympathy and support. Are you rolling your eyes at that because support? Do you agree that it is crazy to support an illegally occupying country that has an apartheid system in place?

It would be pretty crazy to support and amoral to support any of them.

I would love for there to be a ceasefire and for the hostages to be released, however, that takes Sinwar and Bibi to want a deal and I think that neither do. I can’t understand why Hizbollah are dragging the Lebanese into this (well I do understand, just not justifiable).

Indeed, neither appears to want to stop. Madmen.

They are firing rockets explicitly in support of Hamas. How does this help a bring about a ceasefire?

I also want a ceasefire in Gaza, but Hizbollah wilfully started this conflict and are wilfully continuing it and putting their own people in danger because of their support for Hamas…

The way to stop all this is to have a ceasefire in Gaza.
So frustrating that for 11.5 months now more and more experts and millions of people have been calling for a ceasefire, and yet there is complete ignoring by the politicians with the power.

How many dead will it take for them to see this can only stop with a ceasefire?

SugarandSpiceandAllThingsNaice · 23/09/2024 18:08

The illustration even shows them taking up multiple rooms and stories….like the cruise missile is in the living room and it goes through the ceiling into a bedroom above? They aren’t even trying to show anything plausible.

I’m still waiting for airstrike footage to have secondary explosions from all the cruise missiles, rockets and ammo storage dumps they say they are destroying.

I'm sorry but this "illustration" by the IDF of cruise missiles in civilian homes is patently ridiculous.

It's hardly something you buy in ikea and have as a table centrepiece. Lie better, guys, seriously.

@SharonEllis I am struggling to see the difference between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah these days.

Well one difference is that Israel tries to protects its own people whereas Hamas and Hezbollah deliberately put them in harm’s way.
Why would Hezbollah bomb Nazareth - a Palestinian town - if they care about Palestinians?

Eh? Firing rockets into Israel is justified as Israel are defending themselves on another border? I don’t particularly like the French at the moment and back in 1066 they invaded us, maybe we should set up a few rocket launchers on the South Coast in civilian centres (I don’t want to get hurt myself) and lob some rockets over. If the French retaliate we can blame them can’t we?

Here is the said government minister statement regarding Lebanon sovereignty and his very helpful re-drawing of the border.

He then goes on to say that Syria and Iraq do not meet the definition of a state either.

Oh, and has the cheek to quote UN resolutions!

The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon(Unifil) issued a statement on Monday afternoon expressing “grave concern for the safety of civilians in southern Lebanon amidst the most intense Israeli bombing campaign since last October and urging the need for de-escalation from both Hezbollah and Israel.

“Any further escalation of this dangerous situation could have far-reaching and devastating consequences, not only for those living on both sides of the Blue line, but also for the broader region,” the statement read. Unifil also added that “attacks on civilians are not only violations of international law, but may amount to war crimes” in unusually stern wording for the peacekeeping body.
