Israel must halt Gaza offensive to de-escalate conflict with Hezbollah: Military analyst

US President Joe Biden's special envoy says Washington is working to avoid a 'greater war' between Hezbollah and Israel.
Amos Hochstein has been meeting Lebanese leaders in Beirut.
Hezbollah has increased cross-border rocket attacks in the past week after Israel killed one of its top commanders.
Hochstein also met Israeli leaders on Monday.

Elijah Magnier is a military and political analyst.
He explains why Hezbollah won't respond to the US demand to de-escalate the tension with Israel.

You know that Israel is in trouble and feeling pain when the U.S. is begging for a ceasefire with Hezbollah. If Israel was able to defeat Hezbollah they would already attack Lebanon.

The massacre of innocent civilians is very gruesome ، 🌺 🇵🇸

[dotmarceo]

So Hamas accepted it and Israel did not. But we don't hear that in the American press.

There’s no difference between US and Israel

Hochstein was born in Israel, the child of American Jewish immigrants. He served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a tank crewman prior to moving to Washington.[13]

When our land was occupied by the British, our forefathers fought for independence too. Our forefathers were not terrorists. They are our heroes. So do you Palestinians❤🇵🇸💪. Stay strong!

Take home message:::: IDF is no longer invincible.

[carolszymanski-wtuv]

When is everyone going to run out of phoney excuses and stop this.

[jakpanana]

So why have the arrest warrants not been issued so far ?

[rockynanach]

Hamas still firing rockets .
Today, yesterday.

Don’t start a war and then cry for help - you chose to fight, now face your opponent

[LordLemoncake]

Killing civilians is not acceptable by the hamas or by the IDF.
Anyone who even tries to argue that it is acceptable for one side or another is not worthy of listening.
And anyone who says that collateral damage is part of every war, i have to remind those people that the IDF is trying to break the palestinian resistance against the decades long oppression, no matter what you think about Israel, palestinians have the right to fight against oppression, if the fight becomes radical or extreme it is because the legal ways to fight it is blocked by the US in the UN.
So if Israel is supported unconditionally by the US with military aid, money, geopolitical and media pressure, then it is obvious that Israel is not even trying to create a long term peaceful solution, becuase if it would, then Israel has all tools and aid to do that.
Zionist government policies and long term peace with palestinians are two completely different things, yet the US is behind zionsism all the way.

BB's not going to "de-escalate" so long as keeping the conflict going benefits him and his 0wners.
