How the US and Iran are reacting to the cross-border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah| DW News

[@taihaole4900]

"The US is working to de-escalate" while providing all the bombs. Right...

[@gregpfaffe4098]

Exactly! It’s called THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ( Dwight Eisenhower warned) “War is GOOD BUSINESS for US”

[@solconcordia4315]

The U.S.A. isn't providing "all the bombs." The Camp David Accord pretty much shaped the military aids to Israel [and to a lesser extent, Egypt] for decades already. Both sides being well-armed fostered peace between Egypt and Israel for several decades already. Yes, Israel got U.S.A. bombs for sure (but not all !)

[@solconcordia4315]

Israel has its own defense industry, too.

[@solconcordia4315]

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

The discussion in this war is absurd. First. Israel acted selflessly to live in peace with the Palestinians in Gaza. It was more than a decade ago when Israel itself relocated thousands of individuals living in Gaza with lethal force from their homes to follow the agreement, which obligated the Palestinians in return to stop any kind of aggression towards Israel. The Palestinians had the chance to build a safe, functional, and prosperous livelihood. But the first thing the Palestinians did in return was to elect a government that enshrined the goal of destroying Israel in their constitution. The elected government followed through with its promise. Since its founding, thousands of rockets have flown into Israel. Dozens of civilians died in terrorist attacks. Millions of aid funds - intended for civilian purpose - were misused to build rockets, tunnels, and other nonsense. The crimes committed on October 7th like raping women, killing children, or kidnapping a baby, was Humus has been doing for years. Secondly. Israel behaved more humanely in this conflict than any other conceivable party in any imaginable conflict. It allowed Palestinians to work in Israel, receive medical care or even migrate into their country. During war, they warn civilians where their military is operating. They admit collateral damage and apologize for it. They saved Sinwar’s life giving him a lethal brain surgery. They treated the daughter of Haniyyas daughter for her complex disease in Israel. While Humus was building rockets and tunnels with all the foreign aid, Israel supplied their civilians with free water and electricity. The situation is clear. In no other conflict the responsibility for the suffering has been so one sided and clear - in no other conflict have the perpetrators been held accountable so weakly. The same goes for any related conflict: Hezbollah, Houthis, etc…the more peacefully you try to live with them, the more visible their genocidal intents becomes. People with voice and power who claim to reject war have the duty to unequivocally name the culprit of this war and do everything in their power to eliminate them. Everything else is responsibility for the resulting suffering and will extend it.

Unites State is responsible for everything. What an impossible position to be in. Yet it’s the only one trying so hard to stop the escalation.

[@libarjesteh2467]

Wrong question!

[@danielfichman7517]

Why do you keep asking your guests what is the Israeli goal? 24 years since IDF left south Lebanon and Hezbollah never stopped shelling Israeli civilians. Israel said very specifically: as long as the north border's civilians is descaled Lebanese civilians will be displaced. and why do you keep saying that civilians don't know there is a launcher hidden in their neighbors house?

Another possible reason that Israel might ignore advice from the USA is that Israel may have more realistic ideas about how to fight / deter Hamas and Hezbollah than US policy makers do. US policy makers may also have domestic political goals that are unrelated to or conflict with Israel’s security goals / needs. It may be necessary for the Biden administration to publicly encourage one course of action for public relations purposes while letting Israel know that it will not be penalized if it choses another approach.

[@gillesashley9314]

So why cant HAMAS release the hostages for all this to end?

[@MRL676]

All hostages have already been found dead...

[@outtanowhere402]

Okay first this conflict was never about the hostages. Hamas made multiple proposals which were declined. Second, when is israel releasing the thousands of prisoners who didnt even do a thing?

[@theoriginaltroll388]

They enjoy the Free Palestine flags in the west...they are willing to sacrifice 100k more Palestinians for a pity party...while Israel values even at least 1 hostage coming back alive
