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.

The Iranian mullahs must be scratching their beards trying to figure out who’s behind all of this righteousness. I’m sure they think someone else is because they didn’t believe for a second the Israelis had it in them to get it done all by themselves.

Unspoken message to Iran: You’re NEXT.

Thanks Jimmy Carter!

Dumbest president in history until Obama and Biden came along.

Wait until Harris starts her term. I remain unconvinced voter fraud hasn't been dealt with anywhere near sufficiently.

IIRC Israel,a nation that came to oficially exist in the late 1940s,has adopted the unofficial national motto:

"Never Again".

If world leaders are alarmed, it’s because they know Israel is going to whup Hezbollah, and they don’t like it.

I’ve got an idea. Stop launching missiles at Israel.

Hmmm. The UN and assorted “world leaders” didn’t seem too concerned when Hezbollah was sending 24 rockets PER DAY into Israel for the past 11 months...

Before that Lebanon was one of the nicest places on earth. From everything I’ve heard in it’s heyday, it was a bucket list type location.

Indeed. A model of peaceful coexistence. Beirut the “Paris of the Middle East.” Not good enough for the Muslims, who prefer domination and misery

Once upon a time, Beirut was the Paris of The Middle East.

Now Paris is the Beirut of Europe.

Dear “The Hill”

They are not militants.

They...are...terrorists.

Now, was that so difficult?
