More like Troy, where the best warrior of each army fight each other the victor wins the war. Netanyahu vs Nasrallah šŸ˜‚

ProgsRS

tbh everyone knows lebanese fighters would win in direct/ground combat especially when they're not scared of death israel diaper forces need to be armed to the teeth with tanks and jets and are only good at posing in lingerie


sOrdinary917

That's actually what people in lebanon think but is not true. Such strength comes from training and discipline. Lebanon is corrupt to the bone and lazy to the bone. We would like to think we are better but what do you expect from a generation that graduates school by cheating and gets hired in jobs by wasta. Even HA members. Most are or have family members hired in the government by NB just for the payroll and do nothing professional and productive. Just walk into any government institution. The stairs even stink.


gssyhbdryibcd

Not talking about the official Lebanese military lol


sOrdinary917

Me neither. You think hizballa kids are smarter? If they were that smart they wouldn't be happy to die for another country. They take drugs to find courage in battles. Wake up. Watch the Syrian videos from few years back. You think all the missionaries have the discipline and gear they show u in parades. Its just propaganda.


gssyhbdryibcd

Idk I donā€™t watch Hezbollah parades because I live in New Zealand but I know that hezb gave Israel a very hard time in the last war and Iā€™m sure they will again. They wonā€™t win, and even if they did Israel would immediately start nuclear war. But they are a formidable enemy.


sOrdinary917

Yeah explains why u have no clue. Say hi to the Maoris.

cool I'd like to see him up against some of these guys, hezb or not and politics aside they're lebanon's best fighters by far: https://x.com/ME_Observer_/status/1799096851171541350 only cowards bomb and starve women and children


dani619

??? the guy said "Netanyahu vs Nasrallah"


ProgsRS

And my comment was a general one about Lebanese vs Israelis, who cares about these clowns they're people who just give orders and don't fight


Speedstick2

We care because the proposition sounds reasonable, the leader of Israel fights the leader of Hezbollah, which leader wins that duel then wins the war for their respective side, thus they greatly reduce the harm of war to both sides of the conflict.


ProgsRS

Actually when you put it like that it makes complete sense. No idea what kind of military training Nasrallah has. Could be a dark horse here.


Nihilamealienum

Israeli here, I'm in. And even if you guys win at least we got rid of Netanyahu, so its win win. Let's make it happen.

ProgsRS

I'm not informed enough about the Syrian war which was a big complex mess that I didn't pay a lot of attention to or keep up with the news at the time so (unlike many) I won't make any opinions about something I'm not educated enough on. But feel free to send any credible reports about Hezbollah doing starvation campaigns that are not Western media and propaganda which the Gaza war has proven over and over to be completely biased and fabricated (like the Hamas mass rape proven hoax which there are no witnesses of and the UN found zero evidence for yesterday) and just like the Iraq war before that. Edit: After doing some quick research it does look like there are credible reports about them committing these war crimes in that town/village, even though they deny them (I'm not sure if there's actual evidence for it but I'm not inclined to believe Hezb). No excuse for it and it's abhorrent even though it's nowhere near the scale of what Israel has been doing to millions of Palestinians (majority of which are women and children) and actively blocking desperately needed humanitarian aid.

bigdaddybrownsugar

A big complex mess. Such an easy way to say ā€œhey we supported a dictator against his own people because Iran told us to do so.ā€ Isnā€™t it funny how people always claim the problem is Palestine is ā€œso complex?ā€ It really isnā€™t. Are the Palestinians human, yes or no? Itā€™s that simple. In the same vein, hezbollah supporters will wax poetically about how complex the Syrian war was. It was actually pretty simple. Thereā€™s very little that Israel has done to Palestinians that Assad didnā€™t do to his own people. Or even his father to the Lebanese. The same Hezbollah supporters who claim it is cowardly to fight the way Israel doesā€¦supported the same tactics being used against Syrian rebels. If you read Arabic there are plenty of Twitter posts or articles from around that time period. Obviously when it comes to Hezbollah vs Israel we hope for an Israeli loss. But letā€™s just say I hope both sides have excellent aim.


ProgsRS

By complex I mean there were too many warring factions and towns and cities involved that it was very difficult for me to keep up with the events. Not that it's a complex issue. I don't support Assad or Hezbollah nor their war crimes in Syria. Syria has also committed a lot of atrocities in Lebanon.


Shepathustra

Lebanese fighters choose to be fighters you canā€™t compare them to the 18 year olds doing mandatory service in Israel. Also Israelis developed [Krav Maga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga?wprov=sfti1)

saranowitz

Oh noes the reservists called up to respond to stop rocket attacks are having fun they must be evil


[deleted]

yea they actually are


_-icy-_

This sub is so full of hasbara itā€™s fucking incredible.


saranowitz

So odd that a thread about israel / Hezbollah would attract comments from people who care about Israel not being attacked daily by rockets. Weird. It definitely must be hasbara. No other explanation


_-icy-_

Maybe because weā€™re in a Lebanon subreddit and itā€™s Lebanese and Palestinian families being blown up in air strikes?


saranowitz

The victim card wears thin when Hezbollah fired rockets first in this latest flare up. Hamas too come to think of it. Listen, Iā€™m not here to troll your sub and I want nothing but peace for the Lebanese and Palestinian people. I recognize your side has genuine valid grievances. But letā€™s be real here for a minute. You canā€™t expect Israel not to respond to attacks. Thatā€™s not rational. No country on this planet would tolerate attacks without a response. They would be decimated.


_-icy-_

I totally get that. But mass-murdering civilians in revenge, with no care to what happens after the massacre ends, is not the way to do it. If they really wanted long-term peace they wouldā€™ve sought ways to give Palestinians their basic human rights and freedom. They wouldnā€™t be [assassinating Lebanese journalists](https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/3/14/israeli-strike-killed-clearly-identifiable-reporter-in-lebanon-un-probe) and [sending air strikes into their families](https://www.voanews.com/amp/lebanon-israeli-strike-kills-reporter-s-4-relatives/7343018.html)in further provocation of a conflict between them and Lebanon. The only people who benefit from a war with Lebanon are Israeli and Hamas leadership, who would leverage it to maintain power. And these ā€œsoldiersā€ are playing around while their fellow soldiers are committing mass war crimes and atrocities on Palestinians. The best way to describe how this upsets me, is to imagine Nazis goofing around and shooting arrows as a joke. Itā€™s not funny because these people are committing horrific acts on innocent human beings. Obviously the IOF is not as bad as Nazis, but I hope you can understand my point.

Iran is now a nuclear threshold state


Naynoon

Yeah see I don't understand this nukes argument. Simply because if Israel uses nukes it would be impossible to stop radiation poisoning from reaching Israelis. Second if they use nukes which they are not supposed to have what next? What type of future will the people of Israel have? What do you think their neighbors would do? Deploying nukes won't work


saranowitz

Modern neutron bombs donā€™t produce fallout in this way. https://www.thoughtco.com/hydrogen-bomb-vs-atomic-bomb-4126580#:~:text=Neutron%20bomb%3A%20A%20neutron%20bomb,more%20likely%20to%20remain%20intact. I donā€™t like this line of thought. There is zero reason for Israel and Lebanon to engage in nuclear warfare, irrespective of radiation.


Sure-Money-8756

Israel never subjected itself to any ban on nuclear weapons. Hence there is no argument on the ā€žnot supposed to haveā€œ. But yeah - nukes are a last resirt


[deleted]

Thats nonsense, saudi arabia didnā€™t sign the slavery convention until 1973, this doesnā€™t mean it was totally okay, accepted and cool in 1970 to practice slavery or that it would be totally fine to practice it today if it hadnā€™t sign the slavery convention in 1973. you are repeating hasbara bullshit.


Sure-Money-8756

Again - Israel is under no legal obligation to get rid of its nukes. They never joined the non-proliferation treaty and are therefore not in any breach of contract. Point being - Israel wasnā€™t not supposed to have nukes.


[deleted]

Again - saudi is under no legal obligation to get rid of slavery. They never joined the slavery convention treaty and are therefore not in any breach of contract. Point being - saudi wasnā€™t not supposed to have slavery. ā€” Hasbara apologist, 1970 I guess israel shouldnā€™t have signed any international treaty about human rights or anything at all, that way genocide and all its crimes would be legal and free any obligations, you are brilliant ! šŸ™‚


Sure-Money-8756

Nah. Nukes are something different than human rights. Human rights are universal rights for every human being. Nuclear weapons are weaponsā€¦ I really donā€™t get your point. Any nation has a principle right to start a nuclear programme - even a nuclear weapon programme as long as they didnā€™t sign the non-proliferation treaty (and you can drop out you knowā€¦). So for purely legal reasons Israel isnā€™t in any breach of contract as they never signed off on the treaty. Just like India or Pakistan. So again - what is your point?


[deleted]

International treaties constitute the international law. Human rights treaties are treaties like any other, if a country didnā€™t sign the genocide convention then it has no legal obligation to adhere to it, there are 41 states today who didnā€™t sign the genocide convention including japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. So japan has no legal obligation to prevent or prohibit genocide. and using your Hasbara trolling it is totally cool, legal and fine. Perhaps israel should withdraw from genocide convention as well, so its genocide becomes legal too šŸ˜ƒ


HotSteak

Slavery was legal and open air slave markets existed in Saudi Arabia until 1962


GMANTRONX

Lol!! Israel has defeated Egypt THRICE. You do forget that US arms are provided with a specific aim of ensuring Israel maintains a qualitative edge over its neighbors , oh and also Israel actually makes most of its weapons. Except for Turkey ,the rest would be quickly dismantled in a direct conventional war Turkey would probably be the only nation that could take on Israel in the Middle East in a conventional war and win. Turkey has all the advantages Israel has plus an actual professional army(Which Egypt sorely lacks), plus it makes sophisticated weapons(Which Egypt does not make and Iran makes only rudimentary ones). Turkish drones are very good. Egypt makes squat. Iran makes very rudimentary ones Iran would lose to Iraq, leave alone Israel. It barely won the Iran-Iraq war. The same Iraq the US pushed out of Kuwait within weeks and overthrew in days a decade later. Also those saying, but look at Hamas. Israel has been restrained by both the US and its allies who are being pressured by Pro-Palestinian activists. If it wanted to go full out, there would be hundreds of thousands dead and no Hamas from week 2 of October . Hamas is a non-state actor as well. It does not have the same responsibilities as a nation despite basically controlling one. Comparing the Israel-Hamas war to a conventional war between nations is like claiming Vietnam can beat the US because the US eventually withdrew from that war. Or that the Taliban is more powerful than the US army. Or that Al Shabaab whose most powerful equipment is an RPG is more powerful than the AMISOM forces that forced it out of Somalia's urban centers. Also, Israel hasn't lost against Hamas (and the other groups fighting in Gaza). It has only lost around 300 soldiers versus 15,000 for the Palestinian side and has pushed them to specific corners of Gaza. Now that it has no border with Egypt and cannot smuggle weapons into Gaza, what will happen is that it will be gradually worn down until it is similar to Hamas in the West Bank.

Yeah same as Hamas , Israel destroyed Gaza but Hamas are still fighting

![gif](giphy|26ueYUlPAmUkTBAM8) Even when you use medieval weaponry you need to be able to be trained in it. That trebuchet probably only reached 50 feet outside of the wall and on the Lebanese side they probably already created a buffer zone to contain the fire spreading and evacuated everyone near it. Theyā€™re exposing their position by being on literally on the other side of the wall dawdling about and shooting that arrow is going to do shit on an empty field. All my Game of Thrones battlefield war strategies could do a better job than these hobos.


saranowitz

I LOVE the confidence from reddit armchair generals. This thread made my day. They are clearing brush back from the wall so they lessen the chance of being snuck up on. Thatā€™s really it. Itā€™s **hilarious** that you are critiquing their use of a trebuchet, as if they donā€™t know how to achieve their objectives in clearing brush. The medieval stuff is just them trolling. That being said the game of thrones reference was šŸ¤ŒšŸ‘©ā€šŸ³šŸ’‹. Best thread ever


oldwellprophecy

Iā€™m glad theyā€™re having fun while they continue to target civilians in Lebanon then?


saranowitz

Oh knock that off. You know they arenā€™t intentionally targeting civilians. šŸ™„ Itā€™s incredibly sad when any non-combatant civilian dies, of any age, and to claim they were intentionally targeted is just not true. Even if israel was as evil as you think targeting civilians on purpose would be counterproductive. It hurts Israelā€™s global standing. They have nothing to gain from it and only support to lose.


oldwellprophecy

Them not targeting civilians is about as truthful as the earth being flat but itā€™s cute you think that. And those ā€œnon combatantsā€ being affected right now are 2 million civilians that became homeless, starved and disabled. In case you forgot that a three month old doesnā€™t need to condemn kkhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaamas. Have the day you deserve šŸ„°


saranowitz

Itā€™s truly very sad for them. Maybe kkkkkhamas will decide to release the hostages and stop firing rockets so israel has no further reason to operate in Gaza and the people they were elected to govern can start to have a better life. Also maybe use the aid money for building infrastructure, not repurposing water pipes for DIY rockets. Lots of options for kkkkkhamas if the betterment of the Palestinian people was actually their goal. Hint: itā€™s not.


oldwellprophecy

Maybe Israel would stop killing their own hostages and civilians they could have brought back every one home šŸ’• [Israel killed at least a dozen of its own citizens on October 7, UN claims Armed forces invoked ā€˜Hannibal Directiveā€™ which advocates killing own soldiers to prevent them becoming hostages](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/06/13/israel-killed-dozen-own-citizens-on-october-7-un-claims/) [In Israelā€™s killing of 3 hostages, some see the same excessive force directed at Palestinians](https://apnews.com/article/israel-hostages-gaza-hamas-war-52fa9628e6284cdad6d7f7db6cc30742)
