I suggest that the timeline is laid out for the current catastrophe. This will save a lot of fruitless exchanges in future, between people who have completely different ideas as to how and when this recent conflict began.

This is the timeline as laid out by 'The Guardian' newspaper;

Added 16 July- US vetoes call for ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

Your pathetic attempts to paint the Palestinians as the morally superior combatants are, in fact, easily forgotten.

Why do the Palestinian Supporters of their war against Israel always highlight the US vetoes of UN resolutions, as MOON did above.

They are ignoring the two actual players and their actions and concentrating on a 3rd party's opinion in a meaningless resolution by a neutral organization.

They are making America out to be the ABSOLUTE LEADER of the World, though they are deadly opposed to America being any Leader of the world.

It's interesting how they create their own drama.

The thread is just a timeline, incidentally. I figured it would really piss off Zionist massagers if people were reminded of events. Some whackos, the President of the United States, for example, think that Syria and Iran started it. Lol.

So ignore it. It's just here to remind peeps how this thing started and why it's still going.
Think of it as obligatory history.

The two major players are actually the US and Iran. Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran. Israel is more than a proxy but they are beholden to US charity. If the US demanded a ceasefire Israel would comply, but I have a feeling that this war was launched with the blessings of the american government, and when they decide the time is right, Israel will claim it has accomplished its mission and cease operations.

But I think it is fair to note that Iran is partially responsible for this mess, and so is the USA.

The timeline is important.
