    Calling standing up for your neighbors as they get massacred and ethnically cleansed in a war that has already claimed over 41,000 civilians lives, 14,000 of them infants aged less than a year old, is not an excuse. It’s a valid reason. The fact that you would call it an “excuse” goes to show how cruel and inconsiderate you are.

    In the year 2000, they voluntarily withdrew from the south of Lebanon

    It was not voluntary. They withdrew because Hezbollah spent years harassing them and inflicting losses until they left. You’re welcome to read about it if you actually want to learn.

      South Africa has been far more helpful to Palestine than any amount of missiles launched at civilians will ever be.

        I wouldn’t discount South Africa’s actions and the help they provided by speaking up and if you think it was more of a benefit to the Palestinians then you’re welcome to think that. But I believe people help in ways they find they are able to. South Africa has an official voice in the UN to speak up and bring up a case against Israel. Hezbollah is a militia group and political party born out of necessity due to the historical conflict in the area. They are both helping in their own ways. The degree of how much they help is always subject to interpretation.

            Human rights and international law violations that Israel has committed is also a good reason to attack them in my opinion. And no, it is not an infinite casus belli. The level of civilian deaths Israel has inflicted is not excusable.
