What does that have to do with anything? Lebanon also doesn't belong to Israel. He's making the argument that you can't bomb a SOVEREIGN country just because you want to take out someone you don't like. If someone from Hezbollah went to Turkey would Israel bomb them there? I'd like to see them try. But it would never happen because Israel is a bully and only picks on the weak.
Lebanon is fully involved in this conflict. Hezbollah is entrenched there and arguably the Hezbollah military is stronger than the official Lebanese armed forces. Lebanon can't or won't evict the sworn enemies of Israel, and I don't blame Israel for taking matters into their own hands. And yes they probably would feel the need to coordinate with Turkey or get their permission before trying something similar.
Yes, like I said, they go full steam ahead on their weak neighbor but would respectfully ask for permission from the strong one. We all know what a coward is. What's your point?
What do you think of dropping in unexpectedly to kill innocent, unarmed civilians, and then running and hiding amongst other civilians hoping that you won't get attacked in return? Is that cowardly?
Yes, it is. What's your point?
Being "cowardly" seemed important to you, so I wanted to clarify.
