From Hizbollah themselves MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #20

Well, I certainly don't "love" an attack that killed innocent lives. Think. Again. Sep 2024 #28

Stop trying to put words in my mouth that I didn't say, I've no idea where those words have been, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #29

The clear implication is that you, and Fetterman, "love" the attack that has killied and maimed numerous innocent people Think. Again. Sep 2024 #31

Numerous innocent people? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #34

You count a child as hezbollah? Think. Again. Sep 2024 #41

Thousands injured and 47 killed? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #46

Hezbollah population, yes. General, no. yagotme Sep 2024 #98

That much is abundantly clear FBaggins Sep 2024 #109

I disagree... Think. Again. Sep 2024 #114

Yet they were able to disable thousands with almost no civilian impact FBaggins Sep 2024 #115

You can disagree all you like that's your perogative, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #127

So, there are some that enjoy the killing of children and innocents. Butterflylady Sep 2024 #47

BS!!! MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #49

Wow, you are so wrong. Butterflylady Sep 2024 #50

I'm so wrong? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #52

That seems a pretty poor reason to oppose how Israel targeted Hezbollah. tritsofme Sep 2024 #5

Implanting explosives into devices is not new, BUT . . . markpkessinger Sep 2024 #110

That's ridiculously wrong FBaggins Sep 2024 #113

They still didn't have any way of knowing who might be injured by them . . . markpkessinger Sep 2024 #120

Of course they did - not that they need to FBaggins Sep 2024 #124

I think recognizing Bernie should be ignored is a major sign of wisdom for Fetterman, especially in this case. tritsofme Sep 2024 #91

Ignoring someone with a different perspective, Deminpenn Sep 2024 #92
