        They went well past “defending itself” months ago… no sane person would say that they’re defending themselves at this point. Whether you are a fan of Palestine, Israel, or Hamas, it’s pretty obvious the continued bombardment and all out slaughter from Israel is a disproportionate amount of response to be called defense.

        Either Israel is terrible at this whole war against Hamas, or they just want genocide against Palestine. Neither is acceptable.

        Israel is fighting wars of imperial aggression so they can sell overpriced real estate to white people wearing jew-face. That’s not self defense.

    Man in who lives in active war zone because he refused to evacuate thinks large scale death and destruction is the solution.

    Typical, I have relatives like this. Old, washed up blokes with fuck all going on in their lives but get angry at things and people. Too old to be sent off to die in wars so of course they advocate for it at the smallest perceived slight (and never signed up when they could have either). Too arrogant for introspection or the barest amount of empathy.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But to David Kamari, who lives under near-daily fire on the Israeli side of the border, it would be a solution.Last month, a Hezbollah rocket fired from Lebanon landed in his front garden in the border town of Kiryat Shmona, cracking his house in several places and filling it with rubble.He points out the gaping holes where shrapnel sliced through the walls, missing him by inches.

    Israel has been striking back hard against Hezbollah, killing senior commanders and hitting targets further inside Lebanon.Hezbollah has sent larger volleys of drones and missiles across the border this month, and threats on both sides have increased.

    Earlier this week, the group published drone footage of military installations and civilian infrastructure in the Israeli city of Haifa.Tough talk has long been part of a mutual strategy of deterrence, with both sides seen as wary of all-out war.But as the tit-for-tat conflict grinds on, and more than 60,000 Israelis remain evacuated from their homes in the north, there are signs that both Israel’s leaders and its citizens are prepared to support military options to push Hezbollah back from the border by force.The mayor of Kiryat Shmona, Avichai Stern, shows me the site where a rocket hit a street near his office last week.

    "The dangerous stalemate here hinges largely on the war Israel is fighting more than 100 miles (160km) to the south in Gaza.A ceasefire there would help calm tensions in the north too, but Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is keeping both conflicts going, mortgaged by his promise to far-right government allies to destroy Hamas before ending the Gaza War.Earlier this week even the Israeli military spokesman said this goal may not be realistic.

    Fatima Belhas lives a few miles (7km) from the Israeli border, near Jbal el Botm.In the early days, she would shake with fear when Israel bombed the area, she says, but has since come to terms with the bombardments and no longer thinks of leaving.

    As difficult as this border conflict is for people on both sides, a full-scale war would lift the crisis onto a different scale.Some residents of Beirut are keeping suitcases packed and passports ready, in case of all-out conflict, and the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said this week that nowhere in Israel would be spared.Hezbollah is a well-armed, well-trained army, backed by Iran; Israel, a sophisticated military power with the US as an ally.
