Israel Says It Killed Hezbollah Commander in Beirut, in Response to Golan Heights Attack: on.wsj.com/3YrEbyq

12 dead, You dont call them children?, the double standard is pathetic.
-
They were 12 kids why are you afraid to say that Wallstreet journal?
-
Hezbollah doesn't represent Lebanon. The robber has occupied the house. Not the owner of the land.
-
*official flag has literal assault rifle "...Are we the baddies?..."
-
The U.N. told Hezbollah to leave Lebanon 20 years ago. And Lebanon wants them out. Why are they still there?
-
So Palestine was kicked out of Jordan went to Lebanon and messed things up for Lebanon. Got it... Why didn't they go to Palestine then? Ah yess...

Without lies Islam dies

The description "As Israel has been battling Hamas, it has also been exchanging fire with another group along the border: Hezbollah" is crazy. Imagine if Taliban was right on US border and lobbed hundreds and thousands of rockets onto Texas, sending suicide drones at San-Antonio, for example. Would the WSJ describe it as "US is exchanging fire with another group along the border: Taliban"?

WSJ start the video by forgetting to mention that the 12 civilians killed by a Hezbollah rocket were children from ages 9 to 17, and finish it by saying that it was a rocket that “Israel claim that Hezbollah fired” after Israel showed proof that it was an Iranian rocket that only Hezbollah have (showed pics of the shards) and the US confirmed that it was indeed Hezbollah. Not to mention saying that “Israel and Hezbollah exchange blows” like there is some kind of symmetry, when in reality Hezbollah fire at towns in Northern Israel, destroyed thousands of houses, killed dozens of civilians including children, made 100,000 civilians evacuate, all the while Israel retaliates by launching attacks on Hezbollah militants and leaders.

Funny that UK is chilling not being named by their Manifesto
-
The Economist quotes Israeli military intelligence sources saying that the strike that killed the 12 kids was most likely intended to hit an Israeli military base nearby. Of course this does not erase Hezbollah's responsibility, but it does seem like important context in relation to the military escalation that we're seeing.

De-escalation means appeasement. America needs to wake up.
-
Short answer: by converting a non Muslim country into a Muslim one by 'refugess' and conversions

Never trust this so called peaceful religious ppl in life.

The deep hatred displayed by Islamic Jihadists is a wonder to those of other cultures. We do not see this outward hostility toward others in most societies.
