    How can you escalate a full blown war? Lebanon is firing rockets at Israel. How much more escalation is there to be had?

      If Israel’s actions in Gaza are anything to go by…Then this can get a lot more ugly.

        So Israel is attacking more individually instead of firing rockets. Seems about right.

              But it says nothing about methods of attack?

              Edit: The article suggests they are air strikes: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/9/25/mapping-10000-cross-border-attacks-between-israel-and-lebanon

              Happy to see a source if I’m wrong!

    Far as I am aware a Halt means a ceasefire. Just as with Hamas, Hezbollah has to agree. Unless the Squad can figure out how they can get them to do that, this is nonsense.

      Neither Hezbollah or Hamas will agree to a ceasefire that doesn’t offer them protection from future Israel aggression, and Israel will never offer future protection because Bibi wants blood.

      Either the U.S. has to cut support of Israel or the Israeli public need to stand-up and demand a dramatic change of their government.

        Even more nonsense. Degrade Israel’s ability to respond to thousands of rockets fired at them to obtain a ceasefire. No logic apparent.

          Israel invited those rockets to be launched in retaliation for their terror campaign in Lebanon. If they didn’t want to get fired back, they probably shouldn’t have distributed hundreds of bombs and detonated them in civilian areas.

      A ceasefire with Hezbollah means end to the genocide, which goes against Israel’s desire to ethnically cleanse Palestine.

      Hamas already agreed to a ceasefire proposed by the USA in May, the UN in June, and Blinken claims Netanyahu accepted it in August.

      Israel went back on that agreement, and then assassinated the negotiator. Israel is not offering a ceasefire, and they’re clear about this in Israeli media. Israel has rejected all ceasefire proposals.
