What David fails to mention here is where the I$raeli soldiers were killed. Just for clarity they were in Lebanese sovereign territory as an invading/occupying force
Lebanon has the right to defend itself, enshrined in international law.
But David seems to think that I$rael should have the right to carry out killings and massacres with impunity and complains when its soldiers face resistance.
You couldn’t make it up.
This is an important moment to see how empty and manipulative the term "terrorist" is, despite how central it has become in our law, foreign policy, wars and political discourse. The word has never had any real fixed meaning.
But in the hands of Israel, it gets applied even to the targeting of soldiers with invading armies. Hezbollah kills armed IDF soldiers occupying Lebanese land -- not civilians, but soldiers -- and that's "terrorism."
Same with the West Bank: a 14-year-old Palestinian kid throws a rock at an armed IDF soldier illegally occupying their land and that gets called "terrorism."
The term "terrorism" has no meaning other than: those who fight against Israel.
“Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures.”
-- IDF spokesperson, hopefully ccing the ICJ and ICC
Allow me to state a general fact we should all be able to agree on: soldiers who die in combat as part of a war of aggression are not victims of terrorism.
Here’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in April announcing the end of the military’s mandatory annual flu vaccine requirement, calling it “Not rational.”
You lost us because you told us it was okay to be liberals and support the longest military occupation in modern history. We rightfully understood that to be ridiculous
The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:
- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter
על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור!
עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר.
אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות.
מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.
