Open diplomacy at least in this case is temporarily stopping death. This is something to be celebrated! Good on Biden for doing this. Why cant Biden do the same for Ukraine?
“And over the next 60 days, Israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces.”
Guess who’s not willing to withdraw their forces back to their own territory.
I don’t think they have a choice specially if we cut funding for Israel. We are forcing them to stop we should be doing the same with Ukraine and Russia. Peace is attainable for sure! Also they are only withdrawing from Lebanon what about Gaza?
Who is cutting funding for Israel? And if if that was a factor in the recent ceasefire (which I’m not aware off) … how does that apply to Ukraine? We already cut all “funding” to Russia and sanction them.
What about gaza? They didn’t withdraw like you are saying.
I didn’t say that?
The ceasefire deal is with Hezbollah (which is in Lebanon) and not with Hamas (which is in Gaza). That is what the article you are currently commenting on, is about.
Yea you did.
I was quoting the article that is talking about the withdrawl from Lebanon. Lebanon is not Gaza. Nobody in this comment chain was talking about Gaza until you just now.
Hizbollah?
Hey, look, that’s white phosphorus, it’s a war crime on the featured image! Yay normalization of barbarity UwU
Is there an image available with a higher resolution? Because you can’t really see what is being bombed in the picture. Using white phosphorous is only a war crime if it is used close to civilians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munition#International_law
Could also just be thermite
What a relief! , Here I was thinking it was an incendiary non-discriminate weapon that could horribly maim civilians if used in a densely populated city like beirut.
Simply pointing it out because use of white phosphorus is probably a war crime under the Geneva convention but thermite isn’t. Also people in this thread are reading an awful lot into a very low rez thumbnail that doesn’t even appear in the article and for all I know has nothing to do with the israel-lebanon comflict.
“Under the deal reached today, effective at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, local time, the fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end,” Biden said in the White House Rose Garden.
“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” he added. “What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed, I emphasize, will not be allowed, to threaten the security of Israel again.”
Can never tell if Biden is saying what he means to say, or his mind went on a walkabout…
But it sounds like that’s less of an equal ceasefire and more that Israel will restart if they hear anyone complain about Israel’s actions…
Like, Biden is literally threatening them, that if they threaten Israel that’s enough for a war…
And he probably legit believes this is fair and equal
The Israeli army has again threatened to imminently attack several buildings in southern Beirut, telling residents in the vicinity to flee just hours before a ceasefire is set to take effect.
8 minutes after the update about the ceasefire deal…
Gotta get one last war crime in.
“Fair and equal” for a military industrial complex that has waged war its entire existence is about as “fair and equal” as a master and their slave.
They’re allowed to “complain about Israel”. They aren’t allowed to fire missiles or wage attacks.
Hope that clears things up for you.
They aren’t allowed to fire missiles or wage attacks.
I know Bibi may think of indiscriminate attacks on civilians as “just a threat” but very very few others do…
Biden’s probably patting himself on the back for “bringing peace” to a conflict he helped create and make worse. Helped lose the election to a fascist too. I hope history remembers him for the complete murderous idiot he is.
Well he’s basically saying that if they break the ceasefire again, they get the hose again
