The public sentiment surrounding the Israel-Lebanon conflict is highly polarized, encompassing a spectrum of emotions from anger and despair regarding the ongoing violence to some support for Israel's military actions perceived as necessary against threats. Many commenters highlight the humanitarian crises affecting civilians and call for peace despite the complexities of historical grievances and the cycle of violence. The tone reflects frustration towards political leadership and a desire for resolution, yet the urgency for peace remains overshadowed by feelings of hopelessness.

As of this moment it seems lebanon will stay on the sidelines inshallah.

Hopefully no, and doesn't seem like it.

Hezb don't have any weapons or power to participate and even said they don't want to. Only thing that would screw us over is if Iran secretly sends external groups to launch rockets from our land, hopefully that doesn't happen.

m0h97

No? Why would we be dragged? Just because hezeb is backed and helped by iran, does not mean they have to do everything iran does lol

yellowspeeed

Even if we didn't interfere directly, which i doubt we will, there will be many repercussions that will fall upon our heads. Starting with the aviation and the summer season. Lots of airlines started canceling their flights, with some reaching end of june. What will happen is we will sit tight, see our neighbors play cat and mouse, and we will eat sh*t

AdDecent4234

Definetly. It doesnt seem that iran will surrender on the negotiation table so US will end up joining the war. When that happens it means the decision was taken to take down the iranian regime and hezb will throw evrything they have left to try and save it

Crypto3arz

So far Hezeb el esteslem is following the government orders to not interfere. 

Hopefully this remains the same and if their daddy gives them orders to do anything they won’t because they can’t really do shit, they are extremely weak and will only bring destruction for no reason again.

Even then Iran is weak as hell they are taking a never stopping beating, and is barely able to respond and anything they respond 99% is getting intercepted.
I am still waiting for the 7mins, and constant bulshit they have been spreading and promising for decades.

Bilbo_swagggins

My main worry is that Lebanon will see accidental ballistic missiles landing from Iran. Some of those missiles rely on GPS for their targeting.  
Now who is into GPS jamming into the region and having Uber, Google Maps and the likes glitching and having Tel Aviv Tinder profiles geolocated to Baalbek? Yeah, that is a major concern!!  
But The Lords of Captagon are too weak to do anything for now. Heck ,the IDF is still doing operations in Syria!. If they are that relaxed, then I don't think Lebanon is at risk. For now. Let us see what day 2 of 14/15 will bring

One slight problem…

Israel has said that, repeatedly in the past, still to this day, and also into the future.

Can’t say the same thing about the other side.
They don’t want Israel to exist and that’s where it ends. That is the core reason that makes peace impossible here.

The solution for peace is very simple.
That doesn’t mean it’s attainable, however, when one of the sides doesn’t actually want the peace.

They call Israelis the world's worst guests for a reason.

Dozen of religiously divided pockets. Each led by some small time politician who is very good at instigating his people against the other religion. Riots/attacks against the commoners will continue.


There'll be a population race too, i.e. who can produce more kids.


And good luck about the final name of the country.😂

Unironically a one state solution is the only viable and just solution. Israel must be dezionized and we must build an secular democratic state from the river to the sea.

This map would be great if you make all citizens equal (no more Apartheid Laws) and allow right of return for all refugees.  
But Israel doesn't want that. Anything but that.

I’d like to correct a point you made where you said the Nakba came after the invasion by the Arab League. This is false

The massacre and expulsion of Palestinian Arabs and destruction of villages began in December 1947, including massacres at [Al-Khisas](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khisas_raid) (18 December 1947), and [Balad al-Shaykh](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balad_al-Shaykh_massacre) (31 December). By March, between 70,000 and 100,000 Palestinians, mostly middle- and upper-class urban elites, were expelled or fled.

In early April 1948, the Israelis launched [Plan Dalet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Dalet), a large-scale offensive to capture land and empty it of Palestinian Arabs. During the offensive, Israel captured and cleared land that was allocated to the Palestinians by the UN partition resolution. Over 200 villages were destroyed during this period. Massacres and expulsions continued, including at [Deir Yassin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre) (9 April 1948). Arab urban neighborhoods in Tiberias (18 April), Haifa (23 April), West Jerusalem (24 April), Acre (6-18 May), Safed (10 May), and Jaffa (13 May) were depopulated. Israel began engaging in biological warfare in April, poisoning the water supplies of certain towns and villages, including a successful operation that caused a typhoid epidemic in Acre in early May, and an unsuccessful attempt in Gaza that was foiled by the Egyptians in late May.

On 14 May, the Mandate formally ended, the last British troops left, and Israel declared independence. By that time, Palestinian society was destroyed and over 300,000 Palestinians had been expelled or fled.

On 15 May, Arab League armies entered the territory of former Mandatory Palestine, beginning the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

HaxboyYT

Have you considered a three-state solution? It's unorthodox, but it does pop up occasionally.

UpboatBrigadier

&gt;The plan gave more land to the Jewish state despite the smaller Jewish population, although proponents of the plan would point out that this is ignoring Transjordan.

I would also note that most of the Jewish partition was comprised of the almost entirely worthless Negev desert. The actual useful land was approximately proportionate. 

&gt;After Israel declared independence in 1948 following this plan, the Arab states attacked.

You've skipped over the Civil War here, which is rather important. Israel only declared independence after victory against the Arab Palestinians, who were mostly led by the al-Husseini family's supporters. (There's no useful discussion to be had regarding who "started" the Civil War -- it was inevitable in the power vacuum left by the British)

&gt;(Palestinian Authority does not represent both the West Bank and Gaza, and does not have popular support)

This is because the PA is a usurper government -- Hamas won the 2006 elections, and was prevented from ascending to power by Fatah (with some help from Israel and the U.S.) in the West Bank. Most polls indicate Hamas would still win if elections were held today, but support for them is waning in Gaza. 

&gt;You could do this by showing that my preferred solution (a two state solution with two free, democratic, non-oppressive states which represent the interests of Palestinians and Jewish people) is simple either morally, practically, or both.

I'll do the opposite: I'll point out neither side wants the two-state solution, so you favoring it is morally questionable. 

[https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/991](https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/991)

&gt;39% support and 58% oppose the concept of a two-state solution, which was presented to the public without providing details.

(note: this poll is fairly outdated, but the PCPSR seems to have not released a more recent survey -- regardless, it's unlikely that support has increased dramatically in the intervening months)

[https://www.jns.org/71-of-israelis-oppose-palestinian-state-poll/](https://www.jns.org/71-of-israelis-oppose-palestinian-state-poll/)

&gt;Seventy-one percent of Israelis oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria. Nearly 70% want to extend Israeli sovereignty over the area, according to a poll conducted on Jan. 29.

Why is your preferred solution the one that isn't supported by either of the involved parties?

Superior_Mirage

It's a pleasure to speak with someone so familiar with this situation.

One thing I note about the slave trade, the Holocaust and colonization is that there are always people who will look back and say "it was morally complicated, there's no way they could've known it was wrong at the time."

And yet, there were many people who did know it to be wrong and were unwilling to accept it. It was just that the people with the most power benefited from the idea that it was morally complicated.

Think about what someone needs to do to enslave someone. They need to be separated from their families, tortured and to feel the threat of death on a constant basis. 

A lot of SS soldiers puked when they had to execute so many concentration camp prisoners. There was no "moral complexity" in their hearts. They knew what they were doing was wrong.

And now we have soldiers shooting kids in the head, members of the war cabinet protesting the evacuation of war orphans and a whole lot of children with missing limbs. 

So I really don't think it's morally complex.

Philosophy_Negative

Genocide isn’t complicated.

Regardless of any previous history, real or propaganda, genocide is happening now and must stop.

Furthermore, most of the Israeli justification is based in their previous wars with surrounding Arab states. Those states however were opposing the stealing of neighbouring land for a foreign colonial project. UN involvement or not, the UN was (and still is) a western dominated institution with little representation for developing nations.
 
You can believe all of this and still call for a one-state multi-faith country in the region. You’re absolutely right that we cannot remove settlers at this point as that would also be genocide. We can however ensure that they are not given preference by law (apartheid), and ensure a state with equal representation. Perhaps this could be with a system like that of Lebanon with defined faith-based government roles on the way to reconciliation.

People always make the joke “kicked out of 109 countries” like the Arab world didn’t say there, you have a country now get out of mine.

Israel has conducted targeted operations in southern Lebanon, resulting in strikes that killed at least three individuals, including a key Hamas commander. The Israeli Army reports executing specialized strikes aimed at Hamas operatives near Tripoli, indicating an escalation in the ongoing conflict.
