In reply to the discussion: What I fear if/when Israel retaliates. [View all]AloeVera
(3,939 posts)15. Perhaps you conveniently forgot Gaza?
Where 41,639 people have been killed or rather vastly more, as we will find out.
If you disagree with the concept of allies coming to the defense of those under attack, I gather you are not in favour of the U.S. supplying bombs and billions to Israel.
Hey, I'm all for that. I think war-mongering mass atrocity-committing Israel should go it alone.
Oh and you also ignore or perhaps were not aware that it is Israel that has committed over 80% of the cross-border strikes, killing 20 times as many people as Hezbollah, since Oct 8th but before the current aggression on Lebanon? Yup, about 8,313 aerial strikes killing 752 Lebanese people.

So who is the aggressor?

I'm more focused on the election, which is the most important thing going on in the world right now.

I envy your bravery. You seem to fear nothing if/when Israel doesn't retaliate.

And what if Israel doesn't have a complete assessment of Iran's nuclear capabilities?
