MODERATORS
Of course for the region, it is an escalation of the conflict and it's problematic as fuck.
But for the international community sitting around with their heads up their ass waiting too decide whether or not they should condemn Netanyahu, he has been committing a genocide undisturbed for almost a fucking year now. It's the one thing we all agreed we would not allow to happen again. Pretending any fear of escalation or anything at all has any moral bearing at anything at this point is just bullshit, and any politician serving pathetic non-answers mumbling about a "fear of escalation" at this point while refusing to publicly oppose Netanyahu should receive a standing invitation to join him in the Hague.
But of course, I'm not saying Israel's actions in Lebanon don't matter. I'm just saying people who change their mind at this point should take the opportunity to reconsider how okay they are with massacring civilian populations.
