1. Money is a form of control, if you control a countries economy you effectively control the country.

Spending money someplace doesn’t “control the economy”, stupid.

1. Hamas received direct Israeli funding

No, it did not.

1. My point is that war economics inherently benefits the American Empire

Proxy war with Israel directly benefits the Iranian empire.

Israel exists as an outpost for American troops to exhert power in the region.

There are fewer US troops stationed in Israel than stationed in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The idea that Israel wants peace is absurd, the people maybe but its clear that the colonial ambitions of the Israeli government

There’s no such thing. Israel is not a colony - Palestine is a colony and Arabs are colonizers.

Before Hezbollah Israeli money was constantly being pumped into Lebanon.

You said “hold”, like they were in control of the place.

Now you’re just saying they invested there.

Also once again you’re missing my point, both Hamas and Hezbollah were created to be enemies.

But your point is wrong - they were created to be allies. Allies of Iran, which is who created them. That’s why Hezbollah promotes Shia Islam in Lebanon.

Im addition you’re still ignorent to the economics of war and foreign interests.

Waving terms like “war economics” and “foreign interests” without meaning anything by them doesn’t help your argument; Iran faces the same incentives for war against Israel that anyone else would.

It matters not what Israel wants when its nothing but an extension of the American Empire.

If Israel is nothing but an American vassal state, the vanguard of our imperial ambitions in the Middle East (lol, who cares about that shithole desert) then why have we placed Israel under arms embargo literally every time they’ve been attacked by Arabs?

Have you forgotten that Iran was once an Israeli ally, or that Israel once held Lebanon as a puppet?

When did Israel “hold” Lebanon?

Hamas was made in large part due to Israel interference in Gazas politics as was the PLO.

Were either Hamas or the PLO allies of Israel? If the PLO was the ally of Israel then why did they kill the entire Israeli Olympics team in Munich?

Peace was never the goal of Israel

Peace has always been the goal of Israel. The elimination of all Jews has always been the goal of Hezbollah and Hamas and they’ll die for it.

Not Israel nor the Israeli people will ever know peace as long as Israel exists as an extension of the American Empire.

We’ll know peace because everyone like you, everyone who won’t accept a Jewish state in the Middle East, will fight until you die. And you’ll lose.

Peace comes at the end of war.

There has been quite a lot of collateral civilian casualties, how many more people must die

None, if Israel’s enemies surrender and end the war. That’s how war works.

A collateral civilian death during a military action has never been considered “murder.” It can’t be, since it’s unintentional.

I can’t have sympathy for murderous antisemites

Honestly, the real question to me is how many innocent people were maimed, injured, or killed in this attack.

Quite a bit fewer than 0.1% of the individual detonations appear to have harmed anyone except the Hezbollah operative assigned to the pager, so this doesn’t actually appear to be a question. The attack was extremely discriminate and targeted.

but if they’re in a cafe they’re not the only ones getting hurt.

In every case in which one of these went off in a cafe, the intended target was the only one hurt.

That’s the true crime, the potentially disproportionate massacre of innocent civilians.

But that isn’t what happened. The opposite happened.
