  1. That’s a nice oneliner that will be thrown in your face the next few years after you would attack.

  3. People really don’t understand what he said.

    He means we can destroy their ability to function as a unified military. But once that’s done, it will just be a whole lot of loosely connected gorilla units with roughly the same overall firepower as the unified military.

  4. Sure a quick little Middle Eastern military involvement, can’t go tits yo I’m sure.

  5. Great another terrorist organisation that will hide behind civilians and use the media to flame genocide

  6. Don’t forget to bring out the Mission Accomplished banner while you’re at it.

  7. The problem is that with weak RoE, the organization’s units will keep popping up and attacking for a long period of time, turning it into another war of attrition. Awe-striking firepower and a proper targeting strategy is necessary to break the organization from within as their support population realizes that they should not continue down this path.

    The resultant collateral damage may be large, but ultimately this will save lives and time as opposed to a long drained out exercise of whack-a-mole.

  8. I find it kinda funny that a lunatic sitting in a basement for the past 20 years somehow convinced people that going to war against a nuclear power will result in victory.
    Hezbollah might cause a lot of damage,sure. Israel might want US help in trying to minimize the amount of incoming missiles fired in the beginning while Hezbollah are still operational,sure.
    But how do you go from suicidal Jihad to victory?

  9. The translation is “we’ll have to destory them within days”, we can also destroy Hamas within days, we don’t because too many civilians will get hurt.

    Now the difference between them is that Hamas can’t really hit targets inside Israel anymore, while Hezbollah can…

    Aim and hit airports / power stations / shopping malls and kindergartens, the willing to tolerate these attacks to save other country civilians won’t be as high as with Hamas.

  12. You can do everything. You just choose not to.
    Get on with it, already.

  14. My Reddit timeline is fucking with me, because the first 4 words of that headline were making sense to me as a manga reader.

  15. Sure. Just like last time you did. Or the time before that.

  16. So what is their plan here? Go into Lebanon kill a bunch of hezbollah leaders and call it a day? They can’t get away with the kind of operation they’re doing in Gaza in Lebanon. The US doesn’t want this, Lebanon is a UN country with allies and has more recourse to bring grievances. At the end of the day it’s just going to make more people that hate them and will want to fight them.

  19. The largest paramilitary organization on earth? No offense but you’re still struggling with Hamas months later. I guess months still count as days….

  20. How can he say that publicly while they’ve been struggling with Hamas for 8 months? And has he already forgotten that they said almost the exact same thing back in 2006? Israel’s PR game has been extremely embarrassing for a while now.

  21. Wars in the Middle East have never gone badly, makes sense

  23. Anyone proposing simple solutions to any Middle East conflict is full of shit.

  24. He never said how many days, so he’s probably right

  25. So much of this conflict echos of the early days of the Iraq war.

  28. Ask Chemical Ali, he stocks em deep and packs em cheap! He’s Craaaazy!

  29. It is hard or even impossible to kill an ideology where you do not care about your own life or sufferings of your fellow citizens. However as he said, Israel can make them weak to the point of being no major threats but once a while they will be able to “kill a jew” unfortunately.

    However Israel will suffer much more damage than they did with hamas on the war.

  30. Thinking they could ‘easily destroy’ Hezbollah in 2006 created a situation where Hezbollah’s power as an organization swelled drastically over the next fifteen years.

    Because it wasn’t actually true. To the point where not only was it *not* destroyed, it was able to start projecting beyond Lebanon’s borders and intervene in the Syrian Civil War. They did a hell of a lot more than Putin *ever* did to ensure Bashar al-Assad remains in power.

    Thanks to all that, Hezbollah’s paramilitaries are better equipped, better trained, and a lot more numerous than they were eighteen years ago. What does that imply about the ease of ‘destroying’ them now compared to then?

    Whatcha gonna do, invade Syria? Occupy all of Lebanon, regardless of how that would antagonize the Sunni and Christian populations into opposing you too- because you’ve quite possibly reignited the Lebanese Civil War in the bargain- and even if you haven’t the one thing all three religious blocs can agree with is that they want you *gone*?
