>Israeli officials, including the defense minister, said they want to take control of the entire area south of the Litani River — some 20 miles (about 30 kilometers) north of the border – and that displaced Lebanese residents will not be allowed back until Israel decides that its northern border is safe.
Is there really anyone who wouldn’t call this an invasion? They are literally invading.
Here’s the definition, by the way.
>Military: The act of an armed force entering another sovereign territory to conquer, occupy, or overthrow a government.

If the Lebanese government had done their job and suppressed Hezbollah, then this wouldn’t be happening

That’s literally what Israel calls it too

The political trolls expect Israelis to be killed from Hezbollah rocket fire and not respond. When they strike back there is outcry. When Hezbollah embeds itself in with the population so them difficult to remove nobody cares. Israelis deaths don’t matter to people. You can’t remove an entrenched group with bombs alone. You have to go in, get them out, and make sure they don’t return. And the people (and govt) of Lebanon want them out. Once they’re out, there can be a peace deal and land will be returned. It happened with Jordan. It happened with Egypt. It can only happen in Lebanon once Hezbollah is rooted out.

Sure it is – but what are they expected to do? Iran decided they want to drag Lebanon into this war.

No shit? Israel probably wouldn’t disagree. They just have a reason for invading.
kilobitch on
Is it an invasion? Sure. But what exactly is Israel supposed to do here? UN 1701 hasn’t been respected. Hezbollah is launching barrages of rockets on northern Israel. Would any country be expected to just take it? Would the US not take Mexican territory if the cartels were bombing San Diego?
I ask with all seriousness: if you oppose Israel’s actions, please explain what you would do in this situation.

Who *isn’t* calling it an invasion?

Maybe if hezbollah stopped firing rockets into civilian centres this wouldn’t have to happen.
Territory expansion in any war, or conflict is bad. Only leads to more conflict and the suffering of the regular person trying to live their damn lives.

Fuck war, and those who celebrate/perpetuate it.

BREAKING: Correct word used correctly

Since when is entering another country’s territorial borders called an “invasion”?
That being said, Lebanon seems more upset at Irans funding of hezbollah than it is of Israel going after Hezbollah in Lebanese territory
krayniac on
It’s an invasion, and it’s 100% justified. If Lebanon cannot control their territory and prevent rocket attacks on Israel, then that’s their problem and Israel certainly is correct to do it themselves.

No, it’s actually a walk in the park.
Of course it’s an invasion. Of course it was probably coordinated with the lebanese government itself.

Shoot rockets into a country. Expect to be invaded.

…Is there a different word for it I’m unaware of?

What did they call the Allies entering normandy?

Why was is it not an invasion when Iran has been ethnically cleansing Sunni muslims and Christians from Southern Lebanon for the past 40 years?
Southern Lebanon is entirely controlled by Hezbollah and as done nothing but serve to attack Israel on Iran’s behalf

Wtf else is it?

And all they had to do to not get invaded was not attack Israel.

“Invasion” is actually a fairly neutral word. Invasions can be either justified or unjustified

lol that’s the news, not the invasion itself?

No shit.
This isnt 1984 yet. If it looks like an invasion, its a fucking invasion.

Guess Israel got sick of constantly being bombed from this area.
Filias9 on
That’s the word definition? Isn’t it? If you invade somewhere. It’s invasion. They moved troops across the border. Border which is recognized by both Lebanon and Israel.
There is nothing controversial about the word itself.

Lebanon: “Why are we being invaded?”
Egypt; Jordan: “Have you tried not letting militant groups attack them?”
Lebanon: “No…”
Egypt; Jordan: “Maybe try that next year.”
