    That conflict has much wider implications than the usual Middle Eastern ones. Russia is Iran's key ally and thinks it will benefit from any kind of distractions from it's war of conquest against Ukraine and the wider West.

      If your neighbour kept attacking your home over years, you would be angry even if you practiced as much peace as possible. If your neighbour than ended up brutally killing your child, would you still let it slide without saying enough is enough, attacking the neighbour inside it to end the threat to the rest of your family for good? You can try to spare the innocent members of that house but what if that evil neighbour hides behind their family while attacking you? You let him kill you? You know if you let the neighbour go and die they will come after the rest of your family. What would you do? Would you take your chance in ending the threat with the hostage being harmed or killed as well?

      Yeah, normal people want peace. But then normal people adopt insane views of how a country should be ruled and become extremists. The extremists want to abuse power with their harsh laws, rights abuses and controlling ways. The regions dominant religion IS the problem. As Cappy points out: The "Revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran uses Shia Islam as cultural connective tissue between themselves and Shia based militant groups in the region. The majority of Palestinians are Shia muslims. Hamas is a Shia based militant group." Why is this religion so hell bent on extremist control and taking away basic liberties?

    It's fascinating just how different the two conflicts between Hamas and Hezbollah are. Hamas acts as they are motivated largely by their ideology, with with no real obligations to fulfilling the interests of it's own citizens. While Hezbollah, are far more calculating and pragmatic in their conflicts. This goes to show that what might apply in one conflict between Israel might not apply for another.

      That's a load of bollocks. Hezbollah primarily floats on a pool of drug trafficking (mainly taxing it) run exclusively by Palestinians because the Lebanese don't exactly like their occupiers and refuse to let Palestinians work for them.
      This ensures a steady supply of cheap dumb manpower for Hezbollah that'll do whatever you want for a few bucks.
      Religion is a nice coathanger to put it all on, but at the core it's just about money. If the Lebanese and Palestinians refuse to take drugs starting tomorrow, Hezbollah is broke before 2025.

    Chris, I don't disagree with your assessment. I think it's pretty spot-on. I've been running around Northern Israel for the past 4 days. There's a whole sense of calm here that I have not seen in Prior conflicts. The one thing that resonates amongst Israelis, is the return of the hostages. Protests here in Tel Aviv and people lining the roads in the north, all reflect the return of the hostages. The return of the hostages is more important than anything else at this point in time. although that can't be construed as Israel being weak. At the military base I was allowed to go to, every one of the troopers is committed getting back to hostages and some sort of diplomatic solution. It's clear, they think they have seriously hurt Hamas, but not killed it yet.

    We have to decide what comes first, alliance or fairness. There's an ethical debt to choosing the first. The selective treatment is painful. It's as if the Palestinian suffering doesn't even touch the Is**eli allies. At 3:30 it's mentioned that "its hard to imagine being ripped from your life for four months". I can just think of the Palestinian children, whose suffering dwarves anything on the other side for 75 years. Anyone interested in the ethical justification of this should look up videos by Miko Peled, who's father fought in 1947, was a celebrated general of the 1967 war and grandfather Avraham Katsnelson, signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. Miko's father, the Major General, realized that they were the oppressors and Miko continues speaking out.

    Great video, just need to correct a few things as a person who lives in Nabatieh (south Lebanon)
    1) Nabatieh is a city and not a village, it is the capital of the Nabatieh governorate
    2) The strike on Nabatieh was from a drone that fired 2 shots, one on the ground floor that killed Abbas al Dibis and 2 other Hezbollah fighters and one on the first floor that killed a family of 7, including 3 children as well as 4 syrian refugees.
    3) The situation has been in fact escalating here, as Nabatieh governorate was targeted multiple times last week which had not happened the prior 4 months (since we are roughly 20km from the border) and yesterday Ghazieh was targeted (a city near Saida, much deeper than Nabatieh, roughly 40km from the border) in which they destroyed a steel factory and a generator factory, which the IDF claims that it is 2 Hezbollah missile warehouses
    4) HZB has annouced so far that 205 of its soldiers died in the clashes
    We are all on edge here and hope the situation does not escalate any further, but both the IDF and HZB have been increasing their threats in their recent speeches.

    • @nopenahman7380
      @nopenahman7380 10 місяців тому +1

      Ah, well, let me explain.
      First, they scored a major morale hit against the Israelis. No amount of bluster conceals that from knowing eyes, and some of us gentiles are still wielding such.
      Second, rather than continue the status quo - gradual dispossession via Israeli settlement colonization and gradual genocide via Israeli military operations - the attack forces Israel to show its true face, and the face it showed was not one that its allies are particularly fond of: a literally-religiously-supremacist genocidal regime, killing more civilians in the span of months than the Russo-Ukraine conflict did in nearly a decade, and calling for the total eradication of the Palestinian people from their ancestral lands. As an American, I can tell you without hesitation: I have never found Israel more detestable. Big win for Hamas there.
      Third, they drew Israel into a military conflict which, because of its nature and context, has a continually-increasing potential to see expansion across the region, which at present is not to Israel's interests, as there is another major war theater in play drawing resources away from Israel in the context of its most active international supporters. IOW: Israel is now in a war-footing, but the slave-states of the West which Israel typically obtains 'aid' (ie fealty) from are actively engaged in another war theater on their doorstep; which (bemusingly) almost-certainly originates in Russian interference in Israeli operations in Syria in 2013 lol
      Fourth, they have stirred this up at a time when there is a major US political election, and this creates an issue for various nominally-left-wing Zionist elements in that, should the right-wing figure in the American election win, he will undoubtedly support Israel to the hilt, and, because he is SO hated by the American liberal population, there is very real concern that their disdain for him will expand to encompass Israel/Zionism to an even-greater extent than is already the case and make it very, very difficult for American left-wing assets to support Israel while the right-wing candidate's support hangs as an albatross round their proverbial neck. IOW: If Trump wins he will support Israel, and because left-wing Americans hate Trump so much, they will hate Israel by extension if he jumps in to back them during what turns out to be an expanded military operation with massive media observation.
      To review...
      Hamas undermined Israeli morale/augmented Arab morale, undermined the status quo of gradual dispossession/genocide, drew Israel into a military conflict during a time when that is disadvantageous to them due to foreign logistic limitations, created a hazard for left-wing Zionist interests in the US/West... All things considered, pretty noice.

They are also there to keep Hezbolah away from the border.

      Lebanon is made up of 3 factions. The Shias, the Sunnis, and the Christian Maronites. The Christians are no position to wage war since most of the young ones are immigrating to the West by using their Christian card. The Shias have Hezbollah who are very powerful given the fact that they are able to go up against Israel. The Sunni's original backers were the GCC countries but those guys have lost the will to fight after taking a number of Ls against the Shias militias baked by Iran and the on top of that many of their own militias were getting closer to the Muslim Brotherhood which is an existential threat to the monarchies. So the Sunnis don't have anyone to provide arms to fight to they are also out of the picture.
      Overall, there is not going to be a civil war in Lebanon.

      Wrong, not lots, only the people that are known to blame Hezbollah for anything based on nothing but hersey, the same people that have lied about basically anything, including faking a kidnapping attempt and glueing it to the ass of Hezbollah. There is no proof that the ammonium belonged to Hezbollah, you have proof, provide it, otherwise you are just another person trying to glue anything to Hezbollah without evidence, everything being claimed as evidence right now, has been nothing but normal people throwing speculations and heresy's as facts. They are repeating the same thing with rafic hariri assassination, nothing has changed, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
      Moreover, It was not munitions, it was ammonium nitrate in its raw form that looks like salt, which is also used for breaking large rocks in Quarries, and in Lebanon, there is a very huge booming Query business that has been eating huge hills and ruining the scenery. Additionally, there is a very important information that most of you in their blind enthusiasm to exploit a yet another thing to glue to Hezbollah seem to be ignoring, these ammonium nitrate might also be for the Syrian Rebels to make makeshift bombs and rockets, because we know for a fact that a group of Western/Gulf aligned Lebanese political parties were smuggling guns and explosive materials to the rebels in Syria, we also know for a fact that the Lebanese army has discovered and raided several weapon depot for Jihadi groups in Lebanon with links to the Syrian rebels and some political parties in Lebanon that would you guess what they had in large quantities, makeshift bombs in very huge numbers, and make shift rockets.
      Nope, attempts were made in the past to drag Hezbollah to start a civil war, which saw western/gulf aligned groups kill Lebanese civilians, but attempts failed because they could drag Hezbollah, and Hezbollah is aware that some do want to drag them to a civil war.

    Calling Hezbollah an Iranian proxy is like calling Israel or Ukraine American proxies. That kind of terminology doesn't help people understand the complex and layered interests that guide their relationship.
    Also, Hanita kibbutz was purposefully established in 1938 as a fort and deterrent against Arab resistance to the founding of Israel, then as a first line of defense 'trigger' settlement along the border with Lebanon. It is meant to be vulnerable and meant to act as early warning. That's why it's so close to the border, it is literally founded as a civilian occupied shield, i.e., human shield. This is why so many kibbutzim are located so close to these contested borders.

      Tho only reason they join to attack Israel it’s because Iran told them to do it until the war in Gaza will stop,otherwise they don’t have any reason to support HMS
      That literally proxy of Iran.
      HZB have huge ability to hurt Israel,if they was really want to help HMS they was ruin the big cities in Israel in the first week,but they knew Israel will do the same in Beirut and they will not sacrifice themselves only because HMS so for now they attack only 5-10 times each day just to show to big dad in Iran they helping them.

      The civilians in the west bank are constantly being forced out of their homes, being killed, and being arrested without charge.
      They're attacked daily by armed settlers and the IDF, even though there's no Hamas presence in the west bank.
      Nearly 500 Palestinians were killed just this year in the west bank , including over 100 children.
      Also close to 1000 people have been taken prisoner since 2023, with many of them being minors (children), and many of these people are subject to abuse, torture, and sexual violence in captivity.

    Saying 'we will respect a ceasefire' doesn't mean co-ordination when goals are already aligned. Some parts of the Israeli government have been gung-ho claiming they could do to Beirut what they have done to Gaza, seems like IDF General Staff have had to be the grown ups in the room. A withdrawal by only one side from the border seems unlikely but an escalation will only happen if IDF decides, if Hezbollah wanted to do more it would have already done so.

    Hezbollah in fighting to maintain Iran's puppet in Syria has lost a substantial number of fighters, Lebanese scholar Hanin Ghadar has also noted that the finances needed to prosecute that conflict took a toll on the social services Hezbollah provides to its population, so a long dragged out fight with Israel especially one in which Israel uses a quickly falling apart Lebanese economy to its advantage could end badly for Hezbollah. The intent in this conflict for Israel would be decimate Hezbollah as a fighting force.

    Israel has military and technological supremacy. They are extremely sophisticated on the battlefield had tend to over-perform--as in Swords of Iron. DO NOT MESS WITH THEM.

      It's almost like everyone forgot how a war is fought. Cities harboring armories, staging areas and if Hamas' weak propaganda is to be believed, manufacturing facilities, are valid military targets. The London Blitz, the Allied bombing campaign over Germany, the firebombing of Japan, the Vietnam War carpet bombing, Operation Shock and Awe in Iraq. Civilian casualties are a tragic, yet expected factor in an open war.

    You used the term terrorist to define Hezbollah somewhat uncritically. Could you articulate why that term applies to them but not the IDF?
