Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?

Countries and organizations hellbent on Israel’s destructions don’t care about what the West think of them or their actions.

Israel is doing the world a favor by destroying groups that would gladly attack the States just as badly as they attacked Israel on October 7th.

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

These and other misunderstandings lead to poor decisions about how to react to a situation like the current one.

Including (but not limited to):

It causes the US to push Israel to restrain itself, which just ends up empowering its enemies. It causes Israel society to resent Western countries that bomb the crap out of Afghanistan for two decades, but ask Israel to exercise restraint the day a war begins. It leaves the US vulnerable to attacks at the hands of those Israel is trying to stop. Why? All to try and gain recognition for solving problems of the Middle East they’ll likely not even coming close to solve.

Because that’s what it does.

In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.

More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.

The likelihood of creating peace in the region is minuscule, and there probably far easier and more likely paths to carve out your legacy as a world leader.

Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.

Is it very wrong to want to spend some time with husband after continuous work for 5 days in a weekend because my husband thinks if we go out every weekend what night my parents and other family members think?
