The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.
The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”
“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”
It genuinely feels like my country is supporting the next Nazi-like regime through all of this… Israel’s complete disregard for civilian life is disgusting, and reprehensible.
You cannot kill indescriminately in the name of protecting human life. This is a hard moral boundary that transcends cultures, and exists within the highest and lowest eschilons of humanity.
Even gangs and mobs don’t tend to go around unapologetically maiming and murdering children. It takes monsters do to this. Monsters are real, and one is currently leading Israel.
