It's not even the opinion of whole massmedia, but the opinion of one Chinese journalist.

Definition of terrorism depends of the weapons used or depend of the target?

Attack enemy fighters in a war, without collateral damage, it's stupid call that terrorism.

Terrorism is kill civilians deliberately, even if it's done with "official" classic weapons.
No. Terrorism is the use of violence, physical or psychological, through widespread attacks, in order to instill fear and panic, and thus achieve psychological effects that go far beyond the circle of victims, including the rest of the population.

The pager attack is a classic example of terrorism.

In the view of many authors, the term “terrorism” emerged during the French Revolution and over the years it has been modified and new forms and tactics have emerged, also linked to new motives and reasons that define them. Briefly, it is defined that after the emergence of the term, in 1850, terrorist actions were linked to anarchist movements – “Propaganda by action” -; in 1930, State Terrorism emerged, defined as practices of mass oppression employed by authoritarian governments; from 1940 onwards, Revolutionary Terrorism, linked to anti-colonialist movements, and later with a separatist nature; in 1979, Radical Islamic Terrorism emerged; and in the 1990s, narco-terrorism and the gray area phenomenon emerged.

With that definition all wars are terrorism.

Common people understand terrorism means attack civilians, especially women and kids.

So use the word you want, who cares.

But pagers attack was accurated planned against Hezbollah fighters, it was not against Lebanese peaceful civilians.

That is what matters.

Nobody sane wants to work attacking innocent people.
 
Hezbollah needs to withdraw from this war now !

Their comms is compromise and the leadership has been taken out

Live to fight another day and another to time

Supply depos are gone and the ammunition is low

Hezbollah must agree to a ceasefire

And rebuild and regroup otherwise they will be gone

I know this is not what people want to hear but it is what it is unfortunately
 
So both sides are in a face off

If Israel invades then Hezbollah ups the ante,

If Israel hits Lebanese infrastructure then Hezbollah hits Israeli infrastructure

Both sides thus far are to some extent not trying to target civilians openly like Israel did in Gaza


Now Hezbollah may take pain, but this in its own won't destroy it and Israel gets stuck with constant resistance groups being built around it

At the same time trying to stop multiple nations and organizations demanding a free Palestinian state
Even the GCC Arabs and Egypt and Jordan in the aftermath will say, ok now let's create a Palestinian state AS PER INTERNATIONAL LAW and U.N resolutions

In the long term it's demographics destroying Israel and not anything else

Israel is doing what it is doing, be it 300 airstrikes in the last hour, message to civilians to leave, pagers blown, attack in Beirut to take out Hezbollah commanders which killed 50 civilians as well. They have shown they will not back down, the ball is in Hezbollah's court and I don't think they would want to up the ante or climb the escalation ladder and force Israel to bomb Beirut.

Also GCC, OIC, small countries, protest in Universities etc, Israel has shown they don't care a damn about them, it's only US and maybe EU who can rein-in them but either they have a go-ahead from them or maybe they control US deep state somehow.

Interesting statement if true. Normally it is just leave Lebanon ..
 
The British Empire had values in its homeland but lost its military strength and ability to hold foreign lands in World War Two and the much larger and strategically located US took its place to unite and rebuild the West.

I think they lost their colonies after WW2 only because it would seem hypocritical to hand them back their former colonies that had been taken over by Japan. Removing one "oppressor" and handing it back to the previous one I'm sure didn't sit well logically.

Israel has bombed Beirut multiple times

When you are the resistance it's always going to be tough, what kind of resistance gives up seeking independence because the occupier is trying to kill you?

GCC or OIC hasn't really protested and even that is a double edged sword for Israel,

Israel is small or faces a long term demographic threat, just like Lebanons Christian population is now 33% when it used to be 60% after WW2
Everyone will push for a Palestinian state even the west or U.S can't really deny it, because the occupation is the cause of constant conflict

Israel in the meantime has lost thousands of its own citizens or forces, had major economic impact.
It's north and south has seen a emptying of citizens
Others have left the country and gone back to their original country


None of this is easy, and the point of resistance is to gradually wear Israel down through harassment and let the population demographics do the rest
 
Hezbollah should've been responding to this massive aerial assault and leveling "Israeli" air bases. What is this restraint they are on when Southern Lebanon is leveled? Something is odd about their response to the hell unleashed on them and the civilian population in Southern Lebanon.

The current trajectory they're on is only beneficial to the "Israelis". The mass murdering, child-killers will continue the scotched-earth campaign from the air without risking their exhausted ground forces to a ground war. And since America is footing the bill, they will continue bombing every meter and every block in Southern Lebanon.

"Violent air strikes target a site between Ainatha and Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon."


Because hebollah doesn't have the capacity to fight a state military. It's a local militia.

Yes, there are economic and other costs of a war but I don't think they matter much during the war. Israel's stated war goals are de-arming Gaza and defanging Hezbollah, this can be done by the war being dragged well in to 2025 or by a ceasefire brokered by West/Arabs. Israel's demographic challenges, strategic depth etc don't really effect the said war, as they are not even fighting a conventional war with a country.

Losing a dozen commanders in a group that has over 100,000 members doesn't mean its leadership is gone. Those commanders can be replaced.

If they withdraw, what is the point of being a resistance movement when your entire section of Lebanon is facing an scotched-earth campaign?

Perhaps their leadership has been told to stand down.

Hezbollah has 100,000 members and 100s of 1000s of rockets and missiles. When you're in a conflict, you fight with the weapons that you have. Hamas and PIJ with a far less force and poorly equipped put up a better fight than Hezbollah from what I can see so far.

Besides, it is not like Israel is going let them off the hook. They're just gonna keep bombing them.
