“These attacks violate the human right to life, absent any indication that the victims posed an imminent lethal threat to anyone else at the time.”

    That’s in watches position, the claim is laid by Egypt and the UN is unquestionably held hostage but the UK and the US so your not going to get their agreement. You do however gain an understanding of pattern or practice of illegal occupation of Sovereign land.

    If you actually cared about extremism you’d know there’s a Israeli group in Lebanon who advocate and take actions for the expansion of illegal settlements in Lebanon, they are very very not quiet about it.

    It’s not called an occupation because they’re all getting jobs.

      So what’s your point then? I’m only commenting on the hypocrisy of people calling out Israel for targeted attacks on their enemies, the same enemies who have made it clear that they want to kill any Isrealis.

        You’re implying it’s ok for them to act worse.

        It’s not a country they are at war with nor a country that is at war with literally anyone. Israel carried out a heinous attack on their civilian population without warning and with booby trapped civilian items in contravention on international law.

        Israel can’t claim the high ground while violating sovereignity committing terrorist acts. Why are you so sure Israel acting like terrorists is somehow excusable.

          Were these targeted attacks against hezbollah militants (who are sworn enemies of Israel and are responsible for terrorist attacks inside Israel) or were they against random civilians living in Lebanon? How do you define terrorism?

              I will go with “random attacks on civilians intended to instill fear in a populace”. Now you go

            You’re so dumb you don’t even see the big picture.

            Let’s ignore the fact that such an attack, using booby trapped civilian items, by Hamas or Hezbollah would make all the western media go absolutely insane. No, really, let’s ignore it for now.

            What Israel did was opening a Pandora box. They made it acceptable to use these methods to kill your enemy in this conflict. And Hamas, who is in a weaker military position, will love this type of unconventional war. They will learn from this and this is going to bite Israelis right in the ass. And lots of people won’t care because they did it first.

            Israel is not acting like the civilized one. If Hezbollah are terrorists Israel just proved they are no better.

            What pisses me the most is how pro-Israel people don’t see how they keep digging themselves deeper in their own grave. They have guaranteed that Israel will not survive on the long term. When the other shoe drops and the US are unable/unwilling to protect them, they are going to be eaten alive in a region where all they did was seed hate.

              Those are the organizations behind October 7th attacks, bus bombings, synagogue bombings, etc where innocent civilians were specifically targeted. They are stated enemies of Israel and the United States, according to them. Why don’t you take their own word for it? Quit stanning for terrorists who would happily blow up the bus you ride on with you in it, and then celebrate killing you.
