you think? .... at this point headlines like this feel more like sarcasm
- OP loves to make Israel look like the only ones ever wronged.
  Til can't call that out when it's pro Israel
- Are you denying Israel has the right to start World War III due to its half century of barbaric apartheid occupation and abuse of the Palestinian people?
  Annihilating your neighbors because they refuse to bow down to your genocidal regime is self defense!
And it was all started by Bibi and his right wing coalition.
- FTA:
  Hezbollah has been sending rockets into northern Israel since the start of the Gaza war, which began after Hamas and other militants invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and killed nearly 1,200 people.
  Do you think the article should rephrase this section?
  
  Yes you are right, Hezbollah are acting in accordance to international law and taking actions to stop a genocide as well as defending themselves, which is perfectly reasonable.
  
  The conflict started before the current war.
  
  "Began" -> "increased"
America and Biden are losing all credibility on the world stage. You can't claim to be the "world police" and advocate for an ethical solution while doing what they did. For all of Bidens' accomplishments, such as the infrastructure bill and the chips act, this disaster will be his legacy. The career politician who ran on being the best choice for both domestic and foreign relations who couldn't rein in his attack dog despite having all the power to do so.
Hamas is getting what it wanted, albeit slowly.
- I can't see Israel not accelerating towards fascism and repression after the last year. But I wouldn't ascribe this to Hamas planning because they haven't shown themselves to be that strategic or intelligent.
  E: Anyone looking at this comment funny should look at the latest polls in Israel. Specifically the popularity of right wing and settler nationaltst parties. Also look at the opinions about the war among Israeli Jews and non-Jews. Finally look at recent polls about right/left lean and compare it to older ones. Then think how things are gonna go in the aftermath when a minority raises this issue while the majority has to keep up the belief that the deaths are a lie and if they aren't they were unavoidable, and if they weren't unavailable they'd become terrorists anyway.
Iran's limited strikes on a system they know will block 99.99% of missiles? Or Israel invading another country?
I need that goose to chase these bad faith headlines around.
