    I’m sure some Israelis want to expand into Lebanon. And they were gifted a great excuse with Hezbollah attacking them in Oct. Certainly it doesn’t justify Israel’s actions, not even close. But it did trigger it.

      This is tantamount to victim blaming and only serves (regardless of intentionss) to justify settler colonialism. Anticolonial resistance is what has been keeping the south of Lebanon safe from occupation, unlike the Syrian Golan Heights. I recommend you read about Israel’s puppet state in southern Lebanon back in the eighties.

      It doesn’t matter what random Israelis think about it both Netanyahu and the official opposition support the idea of Greater Israel . France declaring war on Nazi Germany and attacking first led to Nazi Germany occupying France and killing 116,000 French people. France knew that Germany would be a future threat that’s why they did act first. The responsibility will always be on the invader and aggressor. If everybody recognize it is an excuse than the world should act against Israel imposing the most pressure possible to stop it from colonizing more
