Maybe it's because social media has relayed the truth and Israel can no longer use its grip on western media to conceal its atrocities.

Israel has not overreacted to Oct 7, they have just applied the same policy that they have used for many decades "at least ten of theirs for each one of ours". This policy is an effective deterrent against enemies, but it should be obvious that with such a policy it will never be possible to end any conflict unless absolutely all enemies and all their relatives or friends are killed. There have been times when the re…
> Israel has not overreacted to Oct 7, they have just applied the same policy that they have used for many decades "at least ten of theirs for each one of ours". The interesting thing is that Hamas seems to share Israel's view that Israelis are more valuable than Palestinians. Whenever there is a prisoner exchange Hamas tends to demand an order of magnitude or more Palestinians be released for each Israeli released.…

Israel does not exist around Gaza. It exists on two sides of Gaza. On the Egyptian border, Israel has made an agreement with Egypt to prevent imports and exports, and on the Mediterranean, they prevent access to the sea by force. Israel has long prevented the import of all sorts of goods. They do not provide "everything necessary." Israel also has prevented the export of almost all goods, so that the Palestinians wil…

Well, UNIFIL for the last twenty years pretty much ignored the other unauthorized military force in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah, so why they should care about IDF?
Hezbollah is part of the elected government within the in internationally recognized borders of Lebanon. It might be illegal for them to fire at Israel, but it's not illegal for them to be present. It is illegal for Israel to be present within Lebanon's borders.
It's fascinating to read multiple comments openly justifying attacks on the UN, saying that if they haven't stopped hezbollah themselves that they are the same as terrorists. Even among this group of generally logical mathematical thinkers, reason is left by the wayside when identity is involved.
There is a clear slant to how the majority of these stories are conveyed. There are probably some real attacks too. that's part of war, its messy.
I’m curious what’s exactly UN troops doing there? And why they keep closing blind eye on the largest terrorist army in the world violating UN’s own agreements? Also I wonder who benefits from them intentionally not moving out of harms ways and preventing israel from doing _their_ job of eliminating terrorists? Genuine questions, not taking any sides.
The sad truth is that Lebanon never went to disarm Hezbollah and the UN didn't care. However, UNIFIL also wants to keep Israel out of Lebanon and track their intrusions. This brought UNIFIL and Israel into conflict

Their remit for the last 20 years has been to support the Lebanese government in disarming Hezbollah. Israel is not Lebanon.

Why do you think unifil is so crazy about israel even if they’re doing their jod for free?
Israel's presence highlights the hollow promises and lies of the UN mediated ceasefire that ended the 2006 Lebanon-Israel war.
