Israel should trust the Lebanese government to control terrorists

'Hundreds of civilians killed, rocket attacks on residential areas, a massive aerial bombardment and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.

These events are not just occurring today in Lebanon.

They were exactly what happened the last time there was a war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006...

...The 34-day conflict that followed was ultimately considered a military failure by Israel.'

Why follow the mistakes of the past? The Nutless Yahoo should trust the Lebanese government to control terrorism in my view.

Terrorists need to be weeded out. It’s unfortunate but needed.

I believe the Lebanese government is capable of doing it, no need for a massive invasion that will displace civilians.

Cool if they do

 

[LuisDantas]

I hope you are correct. I fear that you are not, and will be even less so due to the actions of this current Israel government.

Why should Israel trust the Lebanese government when 90% of their own people see the government as corrupt?

I don't see the connection between Israel past failures as being a reason to trust the Lebanese government.

It would result in far less death and displacement than an invasion would in my view.

What "terrorists"? Hezbollah is not a terrorist group (I don't care what some Zionist governments have to say about it, as it's used as an enemy smear term/category for groups we don't like). It's a legitimate political party and very influential in Lebanon. Like many Middle Eastern political parties, they also have an armed wing and one can be part of one aspect of it or the other or both. They also have charitable programs. It formed due to Israel's devastation of Lebanese civilians in the '80s. Shoot, in high school around the 2006 war with Israel, we had to study Hezbollah and the issue in social studies class and us students basically agreed that they're not a terrorist group, or at least that it's far more complicated than that.

If they're terrorists, than the genocidal Zionist apartheid state is a terrorist state 100x worse than anything Hezbollah is accused of. They massacred over 600 people in one day, carpet bombing civilians. That was after the the pager and radio attacks, which killed dozens (including children) and maimed thousands, overloading the Lebanese healthcare system. How is that not "terrorism"? Oh, right, they're Arabs so who gives a ****.

Ok, I can't say whether you are wrong or right. I'll just say it is very difficult to predict the future or prove the results of the future which didn't happen.

“Bro, we don’t even trust our own government” - quote from my Lebanese friend of 12 years.

Ask your friend of 12 years whether he'd rather trust the Lebanese government or have a dozen Israeli tanks in his backyard then get back to me.

Suggesting that Lebanon will control terrorism manifests "Nutless" on a level that hovers between irresponsibly ignorant and grossly absurd. Meanwhile, we hear not even a whimper of a criticism of Hezbullah. Clearly silence is consent.

 

[Revoltingest]

Clearly silence is consent.

What a stupid self serving claim.
Your post is silent about Israel's killing children.
Yet you'd never admit that as your consent.

For context, he is an ex-patriot who hasn't been to the country in 5 years.

My challenge to you would be to find a Lebanese person who has anything positive to say about the government.

Lebanese people are very patriotic, no doubt, but even they know war with Israel is inevitable, whether they like it or not.

The way i see it Israel won’t let anyone else fight their ‘wars’, since they are determined to cause as much harm as possible. Especially when Israel is working towards a greater Israel but we will see if they indeed invade the south of Lebanon, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

Just out of curiosity why are you calling hezbollah terrorsts. Is it because you think they are or because the west consider then to be a terrorist organization.

Glad your 2006 middle school social studies class cleared that up.

It's an irrelevant challenge, it's literally a choice between the government and having their homes destroyed by a foreign power that doesn't seem to mind collateral damage in my view.

You want Israel to trust a government (Lebanon) that its own people (Lebanese) don't even trust?

This is my point. The Lebanese are stuck between the incompetent and the indomitable .

Speaking of Arabs ...

Hezbollah's military operations in Syria have been subject to widespread denunciation across the Arab World. Its support in Lebanon has suffered a drastic dent, and opposition has also emerged from its Shia base in Lebanon and beyond.[10] Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr attacked Hassan Nasrallah's policy for pursuing an Iranian agenda rooted in Shia sectarianism over a Sunni-majority country. Sadrists had long been advocate of activism solely in Shia majority countries. An elder Sadrist leader denounced Hezbollah, accusing it of "killing more Syrians than Israelis”.[11][81] [source]​

Oh, right, that doesn't align with your unhinged antisemitic tirade, so who gives a ...

Hezbollah seems akin to Sinn Fein in Ireland. At first it was just a militant organization and as time went on they branched a political party parallel to the militant organization. Eventually the militant portion evaporated. Don't know if this will happen in Lebanon.
