And you should read Popper's Paradox of Tolerance.

Eye for an eye makes the world go blind only works when one party doesn't exist solely to exterminate another.

That's what Hezbollah is.

I have never defended genociders - you on the other hand keep defending Hezbollah.

The world needs to deal with Hezbollah the same way it needs to deal with Zionism and the same way it eventually dealt with the Nazis.

Tell me dumbass, do you think Netanyahu and co. will stop his campaign on Gaza if everyone decided not to retaliate? Or would he just order his men to take advantage of the situation and shoot them down? Do you think the Nazis or any other group, such as Hezbollah, intent on genocide would accept peace?

Of course ideally such corrupt evil fucks could be eliminated with no innocent casualties. But that's unfortunately not the way the world works. Do you think innocent casualties didn't occur when other fascist evils were fought? You think only military personnel were killed in WW2?

You're either a naïve kid, or have thought up of miracle solution like a death note.

This was a case of monsters fighting monsters; we're lucky that this at least was an actual very precise strike one monster did to the others, rather than their usual M.O. of just striking buildings with missiles.

You're seriously saying "they deserve the 'eye-for-an-eye' treatment" while Israel is actively escalating the conflict?

I have never defended genociders

Oh okay. So where have I done that? In assuming that 3000 civilians who were harmed weren't exclusively Hezbollah? Which would be an utterly ridiculous claim seeing how many literal children there are involved.

So.. you've never defended genociders. Then let's see if you will. Is Israel committing a genocide in Gaza?

You think only military personnel were killed in WW2?

I've actually been in the military and have had training on what is and isn't legal to do in armed conflict. Have you?

Rule 12. Definition of Indiscriminate Attacks

Rule 12. Indiscriminate attacks are those: (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective;

(b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or

(c) which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law; and consequently, in each such case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.
