But if they are active duty and have military comms, it’s just called an “attack”, not a “terror attack”, even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.

Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants.
It’s dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it’s a valid target under international law.
You mean 40% of Democrats want to decrease it, while the swing voters she needs to win an election are the most likely to support sending current or greater levels of support.
He’s always been the leader. This is just a change in titles to eliminate the vacant lower position.
If a horse or cow breaks its leg, what’s a less painful method? A properly-aimed bullet is instant and 100% painless. You gonna call a vet, wait half a day if you’re lucky, and then hope they give chemicals quickly and correctly while the animal languishs in pain?
Killing people isn’t always illegal, and you forgot hunting, euthanasia, and target shooting.
Guns have useful legal purposes and specific constitutional protections though. Cars don’t. The number of people going track racing in their SUVs has to be essentially zero.
they are the folks bargaining for Gazans
Hamas’s sole goal is to bait Israel into killing as many Palestinians as possible so they can unite the Arab world via their mutual hatred for Jews. The only reason they’re even making a façade of negotiating is so headlines can make Israel look unreasonable for not accepting their one-sided deals.
Why would Hamas care about losing support from younger Americans or what the Kremlin thinks? Their sole goal is to achieve Arabic unity by escalating Arabic-Jewish hostilities.
No, obviously Hamas would not take a deal that is conditional upon [the UN?] removing them from power and holding elections.
Israel is preventing this because, in practice, most people don’t want to die in a civil war. This would just lead to better-equipped terrorists killing even more Jews.
Why would that go better in Palestine than in Afghanistan where the people didn’t fight the terrorists even after decades of training, arming, and attempted nation-building?
Unless you count all the aid from before Ukraine was even an independent country?
South Africa is quite close with Iran, so this shouldn’t be too surprising.
Sadly, the Taliban isn’t even the worst. They’re now fighting insurgents from ISIS-K, which is an even more violent and oppressive terrorist group.
There is not a significant Christian population in Gaza. There were almost 0.1% Christians in 2007, but after Hamas took over and vigilante beheadings of Christians picked up, most fled to Israel or the West Bank.
Here’s some information you may find helpful about how Hamas broke the truce yesterday with yet another genocidal terrorist attack: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/shooting-attack-jerusalem-wounds-least-6-ambulance-service-2023-11-30/
Gaza is literally a fascist ethnostate while Israel is the most ethnically diverse country within thousands of miles. And Hamas’s method of “fighting back” is murdering thousands of innocents and rejecting any form of peace. You explicitly support terrorism?
Israel put bombs in pagers and radios and secretly sold them to Hezbollah. The only people who therefore would have had them were people Hezbollah gave them to to coordinate with. You can’t really get more targeted than that. There’s not some magic Jewish radio waves blowing up civilian radios lol.
