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

Because that’s what it does.

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

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?

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.

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

Do you agree with the characterization of Trump's trial as a "modern day Salem witch trial"? Why or why not?

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.

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.

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

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
