When will Israel realize he's just a single kid on the block surrounded by bigger neighbours.

They made enough mess already.

Hasn't Israel handily defeated their neighbors multiple times before?

By what metric? The damage was greater on the Lebanon side, they took more casualties and didn't take any Israeli territory.

Did they complete their objective? Hezbollah still exists.

The soldiers Hezbollah abducted were returned posthumously years after the conflict. A militia went up against one of the most modern militaries in the world, backed by the US and survived while inflicting significant casualties on Israel. It came out of the war stronger than going in.

Israel did not retrieve the hostages, did not destroy or disarm hezbollah.

Israel's response to Oct 7 can be seen as a response to its failure to disarm hesbollah and the internal criticism it faced for how it carried out the invasion.of Lebannon and previous Gaza ventures, and it's even less safe now as it receives increased international criticism and censure. It's also managed to ensure that Biden will be the last Democratic President who strongly supports Israel.

The harder they try to kill their through, the worse things get.

Maybe they think their mistake was not killing everyone, seems to be a popular opinion of the more crazy Israelis now.

Yup isntreal always blasting about causality count cuz they are happy using jets and just sitting back and watching…..

Also let’s be honest isntreal isn’t to be trusted with “causality count” they like to turn 100 dead to 1 wounded and 5 on vacation.

Normal, civilized countries don't steal land because they feel like they deserve it. Only terrorists countries do.
