The Biden administration has told Israel that attacks intentionally or inadvertently against Lebanon’s armed forces are “unacceptable” over fears that the conflict in the Middle East could expand, according to a report.

US officials believe that since Oct. 7 at least 34 Israeli strikes have hit areas where members of the Lebanese Armed Forces were present, resulting in eight injuries and one death, CNN reported Friday.

...

“The United States is proud of its partnership with the LAF, an essential institution, not only to the stability and security of Lebanon, but of the entire region,” the spokesperson said.

Stockholm Syndrome?

Lebanon used to be a Christian “country”.

Can Israel or LAF separate Hezbollah? And is LAF = Hezbollah? The US should be helping to resolve that, not criticize Israel. As a terrorist group, Hezbollah should be disarmed, disbanded, or killed.

“Stockholm Syndrome?”

No, there are real issues. Along with the Palestinians the formation of Israel lead the expulsion of many Christian residents of the region. Northern Israel had many Christian villages that were bulldozed by the Israeli army after 1948.

Then in the Lebanese Civil War the Israelis and Christians were allied against the PLO and Hezbollah, but the Israelis betrayed the alliance by making an attempt to seize southern Lebanon.

“And is LAF = Hezbollah? “

No the LAF is Christian and funded by France and the USA. Hezbollah is Shi’ite and funded by Iran.

Thank you

Some freepers drink dispensationalism thru a fire hose

All they see is their view on Israel it is their talisman to the hereafter

Facts don’t matter

It’s a lot more complicated than what your parameters are

For a time Hezbollah saved Christians particularly Syrian Leb border area from ISIS

and ISIS btw we and Israel supported initially cause we thought they’d destroy Assad junior

Freepers are myopic on middle eastern complications

And yes I blame dispensationalism

No question of it here to me

It’s strong on this forum

I wasn’t raised with it

I believe the Houthis have already widened the conflict.

You should educate yourself on once Christian nation lebanon

Towards you

It’s very complicated and has largely been destroyed due to miscalculations by the west and our endeavors in the ME
