World leaders sound alarm as Israel pummels Hezbollah for second day
The Hill ^ | 09/24/2024 | Ellen Mitchell -

Posted on 09/24/2024 1:07:15 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

World leaders at the United Nation’s General Assembly on Tuesday urged Israel and Hezbollah to step back from the brink of all-out war after the death toll from Israeli airstrikes over two days rose to at least 569 people, including 50 children and 94 women, the deadliest such barrage in Lebanon in nearly two decades.

The airstrikes, which Israel says are targeting Hezbollah militants in eastern and southern Lebanon, on Monday alone also injured 1,835 people, Lebanese health authorities said Tuesday.

Israel’s military does not appear to be letting up in the airstrikes, declaring it will do “whatever is necessary” to push Hezbollah away from its border with Lebanon, so that Israelis can return to their homes in the region. Though Israel and Hezbollah have been trading strikes since the Israel-Hamas war began in Gaza last year, this week’s barrage threatens to push the region into a larger conflict, with world leaders pleading for a solution.

Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Biden warned against a “full-scale war” in Lebanon, urging a diplomatic solution.

It’s been the age-old opinion of “the world” that Jews need to suck it up and keep quiet.

Jeepers creepers. For Jews, it seems times have changed. You start sh*t you get sh*t back, twice as hard. FU U.N.

Sounds like Lebanon should have run Hezbollah out of their country before it got this far.

Israel does bad PR. Israel should refer to their counter-strikes as “honor killings”. The “world leaders” never call out those.

hezbollah can stop lobbing missiles at Israeli Jewish and Arab civilians and withdraw behind the Litani river as required by UN Resolution 1701 at any time, and Israel will stop retaliating.

Restraint…let me expand on that.

Per Wikipedia, 1,180 Israelis were killed in the Oct 7 attacks.

Israel has about 10MM citizens.

Proportionally, such an attack on the US would equal 39,800 murders.

In that context, Israel has exercised great restraint in fighting back. We’d be clamoring for nukes against the aggressor if we experienced that kind of body count in ONE DAY.

Gaza is a mop up operation at this point.

Hezbollah’s time is, apparently, now.

I would have preferred the Israelis give their troops 2 months rest. But they’re in charge of them.

“Israel is the ONLY nation on earth that they have a problem with”

That’s because they scared to death of the Muslims they let in to their countries.

“These “world leaders” are afraid Israel will win.”

There it is right there. They don’t want one side to win so that it is over and done with. This is supposed to go on for years and years.

Where were those alarms when rockets were being lobbed into Israel?

That's pretty much the main question.

No need to sound alarm cheering yes.

Terrorists have to be dealt with or die.
