1. I am shocked by this, absolutely shocked I tell you.

   Anyone who thought Israel operated with full US support before is now seeing what actual, unfettered US support for Israeli expansion looks like.

   Right now the only thing really holding Netanyahu back is the size and preparedness of the IDF.

2. For anyone wondering.
   Hezbollah released a map of where Israel was, and where Israel is staying.
   Israel has left around 95-99% of the area they went into, and are staying in 6 small locations.

   I’m sure everyone here will say “look at Israel occupying Lebanon” but the map speaks for itself.

   If Israel wanted to occupy, they wouldn’t have left that vast majority of the land they entered.

3. There’s going to be people defending Israel occupying Lebanese land

   One nation occupying the land of a sovereign nation is going to be justified by morons with zero skin in the game and have no idea what they’re talking about. Can’t wait

4. If Hezbollah isn’t leaving, why should Israel? You’re basically asking Israel to trust Hezbollah (which has NEVER worked in the past) to leave after Israel leaves, since Hezbollah hasn’t left yet. Why would Israel do this? If they withdraw now Hezbollah will just retake all the positions they leave and Israel will just have to fight for them again when Hezbollah inevitably attacks Israel again from those positions.
