wait you feel responsible for what the government of your country does even if you disagree with it?

Pacificists are those who refuse to admit they could abjure violence only because others are committing violence on their behalf.

Why Hezbollah won’t fire its most advanced missiles at Israel – yet

Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, had repeatedly warned Israel that any airstrikes on its strongholds in southern Beirut would be met with a salvo of rocket strikes on Tel Aviv.

In the past two months, Israel has twice bombed the Lebanese capital, killing some of Nasrallah’s most experienced battlefield commanders. Last week, thousands of Hezbollah’s rank-and-file were incapacitated in synchronised attacks on the group’s pagers and walkie-talkie radios.

Hezbollah’s response has not quite been to bend over and ask for more.

This weekend, it unleashed its most ferocious cross-border rocket salvo since it began firing into northern Israel in solidarity with Hamas last October.

The barrage followed with a declaration that Hezbollah is now in an “open-ended battle of reckoning” with Israel.

But the group has deliberately not targeted Israeli population centres, nor has it deployed its most sophisticated weaponry. It has spoken menacingly but vaguely about retaliation at an unspecified time in the future.

Mr Kassir said Hezbollah would far rather engage Israel in a longer low-level conflict that weakens its resolve rather than blow its full firepower in a single confrontation it probably cannot win.

“Weakening Israel through an attritional, drawn out confrontation is, in my opinion, the strategy Hezbollah prefers,” he said.

So if Israel attacks without warning, that's proof they want to kill civilians.

If they warn before attacking, that's illegal anyway lol.

Don't those guys get tired of framing all actions by Israel like that? Read too much Kafka?

We get that a portion of people consider all attempts by Israel to defend itself criminal actions. We understand that's the position.

Why waste time insisting on that though

Id say when Israel uses the most advanced and precise weaponry in history to target and kill civilians that they indeed want to kill civilians.

Israel is not "defending itself", they are slaughtering civilians.

I mean if you think people with hezbollah pagers are civilians yes, then Israel is targeting civilians.

If you instead accept that anyone who is part of , or materially supports, Hezbollah is a fair target, as is everyone in the vicinity of an Hezbollah installation, then no they aren't targeting civilians.

Especially because they are telling them to go away

pretty broad spectrum there bub. wonder if you consistently apply it to countries like, I dunno...say...Israel? bc that would be quite a controversial take on the IDF ravers that were executed. actually, I dont wonder.
