It’s becoming increasingly obvious to me that people (who generally seem to live in the west and have never faced terror or lived in a war zone with neighbors who want you dead and keep trying to make that happen) think Israel shouldn’t be defending itself at all in response to any attacks against its citizens. If we do, we need to make sure that not a single civilian is impacted or inconvenienced in any way. The terrorists, apparently, are allowed to do whatever they want as long as we are the target.
I’ve been saying for months that if Lebanon, the UN, etc. did nothing to stop Hezbollah from attacking (as they have nearly every day since October 8th), you don’t get to be upset when we do something.
Have you called out Hezbollah at all during the past 11 months while they targeted our civilian population across the north? Were you livid when they fired a rocket that killed 12 Israeli children while they were playing soccer? Does it bother you that tens of thousands of northern residents have been displaced from their homes for nearly a year, or that many of them won’t have homes to return to? If none of this bothers you enough to say something, but you believe that Israel targeting individual terrorists who plan and execute these acts makes you angry, spare me your one-sided indignation and outrage.
You are part of the problem, and Hezbollah and Iran thank you for your support.
