They changed the YT thumbnail.

Original title was something like “Israel conducts ‘pre-emptive strike’ in self-defense” - the fact that they changed it is almost as funny as their phrasing.

[johndoe-zznr]

Israel has to right to preemptively struck its enemies for self defense gives a new meaning to self defense

[maniak]

If you attack first you are not defending your attacking !!

[KhalidAsunogie]

Lebanon has the right to defend it's self from it's enemy

[enissay]

À few things were mispresented or omitted I hope by mistake.
Iran strike came as a retaliation after Israel hit their embassy in Damascus.
There was a full coalition of countries supporting Israel to shut down those missiles, led by the US as well as the uk, fr, Jordan, Egypt, ...

[lethargicastengah]

Israel always escalating and blaming others for responding

[fewcommentsonnews.]

WHO Wants an Peacefull Environment in the Middle East IN THE TRUE sence of The Word ?

Why all these reporters are so nervous and uh, uh

[eamonnsiocain]

“Preemptive strike” is a synonym for “escalation.”

[hildormuthafo]

Self defense... by... Attacking the other first. Sounds like some Florida "Stand Your Ground" bs.

[StartupIstan]

Israel is not a terrorist nation ? Just wow

[amandab]

According to Lebanon, there was no pre-emptive strike from Israel and they were not targeting Tel Aviv.
Surely Israel wouldn't lie just to look stronger ...?

[Onequietvoice]

Sounds like Israel heard Kamala's speech loud and clear.
