Israel's "Special Military Operation"

So let me get this straight. They are executing a military operation in a sovereign nation… without permission?
- yeah, but it is limited so that makes it perfectly fine.
  
  Am I allowed to ask where that "limit" is exactly? 🙃
  
  Limited to all of Lebanon maybe?
  
  They're also launching a pre-emptive invasion, so they can't be declaring war. It's just defence in shallow
- It’s a “special military operation”. It’ll be over in 3 days, tops.

Israel’s “Special Military Operation”

Even Russia learned their lesson in this part of the world.
- Unlike Russia, Israel has no qualms about calling this a war.
  
  But wars are divided into offensives, eg Ardennes Offensive, Tet Offensive, eg. This is the latest Israeli offensive in their war.
- No rockets or any form of attack or threat were launched from Ukraine into russia before the 24th feb invasion, stop making this dumb comparison.
  
  It’s a good comparison, both Russia and and the settler colonial apartheid entity are illegally invading their neighbors, commit genocide and countless other war crimes & crimes against humanity. The only thing that differs is the rhetoric of western media and politicians.
  
  Attacks like the Kerch Bridge Explosion that connect Russia with occupied crimea do not count?
Now where have we heard that one before...
I guess that means the US will send another $10B "self defense" aid package, again. Sigh.
Cunts
- Concise. I like it.
Netanyahu wants a forever war to maintain dictatorial power. That is what this is ultimately about. Don't take my word for it, ask his former best friend.

- Boy howdy, I can't wait for Iran to intervene and then the US gets into it again.
  
  Iran just launched a missile attack on Israel. So I guess you don't have to wait.
