There’s no way they’re just going to accept incoming rockets as a part of normal life. As long as Hezbollah keeps attacking them, they are going to retaliate
It could prolong the war in Gaza, but unless Hezbollah mobilise their fighters for a ground invasion I think Israel has more than enough planes for both Gaza and striking back at launch sites etc. The main burden for Israel isn’t military but it’s the 100k refugees, which seems to be the reason they’re turning up the heat now
It undermines a two-state solution because that would require the Arab nationalists to accept the state of Israel and, more importantly, stop attacking it. It’s clear that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are never going to do that. And Hezbollah immediately attacking Israel in support of them after a major attack just shows that they too won’t ever be able to agree to a normal relation

“As long as Israel keeps bombing their country, they are going to retaliate.”
The cycle of violence continues.
Yeah, if you convince yourself that it was Israel that restarted it on oct 8th, I’m sure you can get some solid sleep
(while people actually living there don’t have that privilege)
Likewise if you can pretend all history only started October 7 then you can make yourself sound like the victim. But we both know better, I assume?
I’m making myself sound like the victim?
It’s weird that you want to sound concerned about the cycle of violence continuing and then want to argue that last October doesn’t really matter
Change rockets to airstrikes and ethnic cleansing and Hezbollah to Israel and you’ll understand how everyone in the region feels about Israel.
Do you think the current situation is going to turn out better than if Hezbollah hadn’t attacked?
Do you think hezbollah is attacking because of the ethnic cleansing already going on via “settlers” or nah?
I think Hezbollah was fantasizing about doing some ethnic cleansing from the moment they were formed
In Lebanon? Probably not, by definition. In Palestine? Almost definitely yes.
Edited because I misread/misinterpreted better as worse.
Can you explain how this is going to turn out ‘better’ for Lebanon? Innocent Lebanese (unless your point is there aren’t any?) are dying every day
Oh shit I meant worse, not better. Worse for Lebanon, better for Palestine.
Can you explain how this is going to turn out ‘better’ for Palestine? I’d say that it just further discredits the call for a two-state solution
First, it takes heat off Gaza and the West Bank, especially if the conflict escalates further. Second,
how so? Discredits the call for a two state solution according to who and for what reason?
