Jesus fucking Christ, Israel just can't resist murdering more people, can it?
- Israel's faschist government
  
  Voted in multiple times over decades by Israel.
  The genocide supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis.
  But sure let’s pretend it’s only Bibi to blame. All those children who assaulted the little girl in class for asking about the Palestinians? Nope not a deep rooted cultural phenomenon at all, it’s just Bibi.
  
  Quite literally yes, there are people in Bibis Coalition and cabinet who are so openly Fascist that even Israelis can't deny it. By Fascist I mean you have people like Ben Gvir who are very clearly Kahanists (Israeli mix of far-right militarism, ethnonationalism, and religious fundementalism). Keep in mind this is by Israeli standards, even according to them Bibis government is fascist (or at least fascist adjacent).
- Bibi needs to stay in power to stay out of jail. Gotta keep that war machine going!
  
  This justification of the war because a single person is misleading. If people do not support him made it clear he wouldn't do it. It is like blaming hitler for nazi activity and pretending soldiers are following orders.
  The same soldier who killed Press, Hostages waving white flags, shot babies in the head with sniper rifle, and throw bodies of the roof.
  These people are not Bibi.
  There are also the military aid by US, UK, and Germany. These are not Bibi.
- Hezbollah could have stopped shooting rockets, drones, and cruise missiles at Israel any moment in the last 11 months.
  
  You picking fights under every top-level comment in this thread, huh?
  
  Israel has perpetuated 80% of the cross-border attacks for the past year, but sure please tell me again how Hezbollah, which was established as a direct result of Israeli aggression, are the ones who should stop. That's insane.
They really want a full on war, don't they?
- They know they have unlimited support from the US no matter what they do.
- They want land. They will murder to get it.
- 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
  
  Change rockets to airstrikes and ethnic cleansing and Hezbollah to Israel and you'll understand how everyone in the region feels about Israel.
  
  “As long as Israel keeps bombing their country, they are going to retaliate.”
  The cycle of violence continues.
News are reporting 35 dead children
- A sign they killed mostly militants.
  
  If 10% dead children is your bar of success, you are fucked up.
  
  What in the fuck logic is that?
  
  More than 50 children now not counting women.
One of these days they are going to attack the wrong people and guess who gets to bail them out.
- It's a matter of time before someone gets fissionable materials inside the border... especially since they have less and less to lose each passing day.
  
  Iran has been working on nuclear weapons for a while now.
Reminder that Israels war government (especially under Bibi) is bloodthirsty and desperate to keep their people distracted from how much their lives suck and the fact that their government has openly fascist politicans like Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich (I know, truly shocking /s).
A giant number. Very sad to see.
