    This doesn’t constitute an armed conflict under international law. Israel has absolutely no right to target civilian areas in Beirut using explosive detonation devices with complete disregard to civilian casualties. But I see you’re German, so the psychosis doesn’t surprise me. Israel could probably start raping people (oh nvm that did happen) and you’d probably find an excuse for it.

      Israel didn’t target civilian areas in Beirut. They targeted members of Hezbollah, a terrorist militia, that has attacked Israel non stop since October 7th 2023.

        Then I guess Hezbollah attacking IDF servicemen wherever they might be, including civilian areas in Tel Aviv, is completely okay. Even if it comes to some civilian casualties.

          Both of them are ‘wrong’ and ‘okay’ when they do this. But in some way Hezbollah is ‘more wrong’, because they (re)started it. The only result being a lot of useless casualties with no end in sight.

          That would be a comparable attack, yes of course. However Hezbollah doesn’t possess such sophisticated capabilities.

          As far as collateral damage and civilian deaths the attack on Hezbollah seems to have been exceptionally good. Making a personal device explode is one of the most targeted ways you can conduct an attack.

      So, what exactly do you think would be a proper reaction here?

      Hisbollah is de facto a state actor in Lebanon. Lebanon is doing nothing against a group whose declared goal is the destruction of Israel, including shooting unguided rockets into civilian areas.

      Now, how would you address that? Unless you have any idea how else to solve this, you’re simply talking out of your ass.

        I hardly think it is necessary to be an expert in Near-East conflict or politics in order to condemn what basically amounts to a terrorist attack.

        Whether or not they should do something is a different issue all together. But dismissing criticism because they don’t provide an alternate solution to an intricate problem is hardly any more helpful. Israel has many more pathways to do this properly, one idea would be the ICJ.

        You’re also falling into an overgeneralization fallacy. While Hezbollah is in the lebanese government, this doesn’t make all citizens of lebanon complicit. Hezbollah doesn’t represent all of Lebanon, neither do Hamas all of Palestine or Netanjahu all of Israel.

        Obviously Israel should kindly ask that they turn themselves over a the border so they can have a fair trial

          Maybe they should stop their genocide in Palestine. Hesbollah has said on multiple occasions that they’ll stop any hostilities if a permanent ceasefire is implemented.

            They attacked one day after Hamas ‘to keep the IDF busy’. Their long term goal is to destroy Israel and install an islamic state, not keep the peace.
