Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?

It causes the US to push Israel to restrain itself, which just ends up empowering its enemies. It causes Israel society to resent Western countries that bomb the crap out of Afghanistan for two decades, but ask Israel to exercise restraint the day a war begins. It leaves the US vulnerable to attacks at the hands of those Israel is trying to stop. Why? All to try and gain recognition for solving problems of the Middle East they’ll likely not even coming close to solve.

These and other misunderstandings lead to poor decisions about how to react to a situation like the current one.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

The likelihood of creating peace in the region is minuscule, and there probably far easier and more likely paths to carve out your legacy as a world leader.

More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.

Israel is doing the world a favor by destroying groups that would gladly attack the States just as badly as they attacked Israel on October 7th.

Because that’s what it does.

In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

What real evidence is there to believe in legends such as the story of Atlandida or the lost continent of Lemuria?

Countries and organizations hellbent on Israel’s destructions don’t care about what the West think of them or their actions.

Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.

There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.
