    By people you mean the Jewish?
    Maybe if they have chosen Madagascar or Tasmania as a nation place and definitely if they had chose not to invent their state at all.

    They got it coming because of the Golan Heights occupation. It aint theirs. So says everybody. Hence that comes with consequences. It's the fault of them Jews to have them troubles when they behave like that and refuse to comply with the UN.

    Imagine a large military organization armed with hundreds of thousands of missiles sitting on your border and threatening you with total destruction.
    What will you do ?
    Sit and smile at them?
    If the Lebanese government agrees that there will be another army inside Lebanon with the sole purpose of taking control of southern Lebanon and threatening Israel, let them take
    into account that they will be severely damaged.
    Simple.

    so if the US attacks the Islamic Republic, then Hezbollah will attack Israel, then Israel will attack Lebonon

    think I got that right

    Lebanon just wants to live in peace, but is having to contend with otutside forces much more powerful than themselves.
    Most of the muslims there don't support Hezbollah, but won't actively raise a hand against them either.

    Hezbollah is a slightly less bad terrorist organization in that they are more motivated by political objectives than religion (though religion still does play a prominent role, hence the name).

    The US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia strongly believe/suspect Iran is financing Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, and may be supplying them with mortars and low tech rockets, which have been used to hit civilian targets in Israel.

    What Israel is doing almost borders on terrorism, trying to put pressure on the Lebanese government to crack down on Hezbollah. For example, firing rockets into cities to hit Hezbollah targets that are believed to have just fired at Israel, even though those responsive attacks will cause collateral damage and destroy multi-level buildings.

    The Lebanese government is weak though, in a precarious position (coalition between secularists, muslims, and christians), and it is not so easy to crack down on Hezbollah.
    Some parts of Lebabon were almost effectively controlled by Hezbollah, and it was easier for the government to just allow the situation to be that way.

    Hezbollah is "slightly less bad terrorist organization"? Are there degrees of badness in terrorism, like very bad terrorists, less bad human rights fans terrorists, better humanist terrorists, perfect Noble peace prize deserving terrorists?

    Hmm...I guess the "slightly less bad" angle greatly depends on who you're asking...

    Nice, slightly less rabid terrorist doggie :wall:

    The US, Israel and Saudi Arabia don't suspect or believe Iran is financing Hezbollah. They know Iran is financing Hezbollah. Both Iran and Hezbollah have admitted Iran is financing and arming Hezbollah years ago.

    The Israelis occupy the golan heights because it's neighbors kept attacking them.
    Israel won the Golan heights fair and square. None of Israel's neighbors have a damn thing to complain about.

    Last time Israel attacked, Hezbollah kicked their ass. destroyed their tanks and killed israel soldiers.

    Hezbollah is not Hamas. Hezbollah has real war capacity, has rockets that can reach any israeli city.

    Its not in Israels interest to stir that up. The difference between Hezbollah and Hamas is, that you can talk with Hezbollah and they usually stick to treaties.

    Israel can and does talk to Hamas almost all the time and it is Israel not Hamas who breaks treaties.

    Israel has been murdering Iranians in Syria for years - she likes ISIS. It came very near war with Russia supporting Syria last year and of course is the reason Russia gave the Syrians the S-300. Israel kills all the time.

    Ha! He evidently has not read up on the last time Israel tried that in the early 1980's...

    Muslims fire rockets into Israel from schools and hospitals, and the world tells Israel to just sit back and take it.

    No country should be barred from acting in self defense.

    In Israel's war against Hezbollah, as evidenced by even the report on the war and lessons from it by the commission established by Israel, it was deliberate Israeli policy to take out Lebanese civilian targets and infrastructure, including in Christian areas which had no Hezbollah presence, as a means or in hopes of getting the other communities in Lebanon to put pressure on Hezbollah and isolate it politically. That is still the Israeli policy and what has informed their repeated warnings to the Lebanese government and people.

    Otherwise, the most important land battle in 2006 war was the Battle of Bint Jbeil, a small town which had been pounded by Israel and was semi-deserted by civilians when Israeli units led by their so-called elite Golani Brigade entered the town. Despite a 5:1 to numerical advantage over the small Hezbollah force defending the town, complete air support, Israel suffered heavy casualties and was driven out of the town by Hezbollah. There were many pictures at the time showing their so-called elite Golani brigade literally in tears with calls to re-examine how these units were being trained. Overall, in the 2006 war, the overwhelming majority of casualties on the Israeli side were military, including even in the rocket attacks by Hezbollah which targeted (mostly, not exclusively) Israeli military installations. The casualties on the Lebanese side were primarily civilians killed as part of Israel's policy to give them warning that if they don't reign in Hezbollah, they will be the ones paying the price. That is the biggest constraint Hezbollah faces even now in deciding how to react to Israeli aggression in Syria and elsewhere.

    Israel uses it to drain water. It can't go without that 15%. The Jews are just stealing land, real estate, and resources. It's part of their religion to be like that. You know,.. the genocide on the peaceful people of Canaan.
    Not according to the countries of the world, who said that at the UN.

    Yes. When? When they give up tribalism, faith, and force, and embrace individualism, reason, and trade.

    Invent a state? If the Jews did then they did it just once, sometime in the last Bronze Age.
    It's call Israel.
