Some rockets landed near the city of Haifa, as Israel and Hezbollah appeared to be spiraling toward all-out war following months of escalating tensions.

“Months of escalating tensions” is such a disingenuous framing.
People supporting the genocide of Palestinians in the comments I genuinely wish the worst upon you. You’re terrible people
I have enough people blocked that I see none of that. It’s nice.
And shit gets worse.
I can kind of sort of get why Israel would be launching a war against Hamas right now. I cannot even kind of sort of get why they think now is the time to attack a totally separate military opponent.
Rockets? Don’t you mean missiles?
They do have precision guided missiles but didn’t use any in this attack… While AP does call them missiles in the article they are actually unguided heavy rockets.
And as I was trying to figure this out I discovered that most news sources use the words rocket and missile interchangeably, often in the same sentence, and it’s fucking infuriating.
Actually they ALWAYS say Israel has missiles and Hezbolah/Hamas has rockets. I believe they do this to make it seem like they are barbarians hiding behind a hill shooting off handhelds. I am sure they have more sophisticated systems and to keep reporting it that way is biased and inaccurate, despite whoever they might support. 🙈
I certainly don’t pay enough attention to say you’re definitely right but it certainly feels like the headline is always rockets. but how much of that is because it’s always rockets? missiles are far more expensive and Israel is pretty good at shooting them down so why burn that kind of cash?
But also, can you point to a case where it was actually missiles? because this isn’t it and I’m actually interested.
Hits back? They started the current war with rockets, this is just continued fighting.
I’m not sure what your point is. That Israel perform more individual attacks?
It seems like you have issues using the body part known as eye balls, maybe this is more clear.
I block all these communities. The anti-israel pro-gaza sentiment here is off the charts. Cya ‘interesting global news’ and all the other recent ‘news’ communities.
Do you support Apartheid or genocide? Israel is currently doing both. Pro-palestinian people support equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians
You must have very unique definitions of “apartheid” and “genocide”. And “equal rights” for that matter too. It’s not worth the argument.
If you consider international law definitions ‘very unique,’ sure lol
Yeah, I’m starting to suspect they’re shills or trolls or something.
Edit: you know what, I’m pretty convinced they’re shills and trolls. Got a bunch of replies during Russian working hours, and they’re just weird.
