Dunno why this thread is filled with people equating Hezbollah and Hamas, but they are different organizations representing different groups of people. Israel attacked Hezbollah with exploding pagers, not Hamas.
It's a pretty big and important distinction, because this attack by Israel was only tangentially related to their genocide in Palestine. It's further evidence of their expansionist goals as they continue a campaign of terror against other countries in the region.
ding ding ding! what's the prize for our contestant, Judy?
iiiiit's never ending war and genocide bundle!
Well, not all, but I know at least one such country
Sure, but they are different just like France and Poland were different in WWII. Very much on the same side in a fight against expansionism.
So...your theory that this proves Israeli expansionism is based on the fact that Hezbollah is not Hamas... While conveniently ignoring the generations of bad blood and historically relevant context. Could you be any more reductive?
Hezbollah chose to enter this Israel/palestine war, this isn't simply Israel taking advantage of the awful conflict to try and gain more land, it's a blatant reaction. Sure if it results in more land, great, but this sort of thing is to be expected when you send missile after missile at a country. But no, Isreal would totally only respond to lethal threats if they can meet their expansionist goals right? That's the only explanation of motivation right?

Yes Israel's disgusting expansionism is a problem, no it doesn't create a clean convenient context that aligns with moral values and right to life like the one your comment is attempting to present. Obligatory fuck the IDF, and fuck Hamas, and sure why not Hez as well. There are no angels.
Right, the high moral ground here is "burn them all".
Please teach me more.
Why stop emphasizing right before a very critical point that is obvious:
Hezbollah is not in a position to benefit from any altercations. It is why they aren't being the aggressor. There's just Israeli offensives taking place. Remember Israel is still also doing the same things in the West Bank they've been doing.
The absolute and incredible disparity of capabilities cannot be ignored. They aren't justification of any, but justified damnation for those in power and control.
