    Uh… So Israel can settle it? No fucking thanks. And in the first place Gaza is only 25 miles long.

      I’m sorry I have to explain this. In the case of Hezbollah, they’re agreeing to retreat to a distance from the border from where they can’t (significantly) attack Israel again. The poster I’m replying to questions why Israel can’t (be forced to) make a similar deal with Hamas. I’m using sarcasm to point to an important reason why

          Are you suggesting that Hezbollah didn’t agree to the deal, or that that’s not part of it? Cause I didn’t see anything that either of those would be the case, and plenty of the contrary.

            The Lebanese government is a basket case, and the Lebanese military is likely weaker than Hezbollah.

            Any article that does not explicitly state that Hezbollah (and not simply the Lebanese government) agreed to a ceasefire is not stating anything of substance.

            Now, Hezbollah said they’d make a statement today about this deal, and I haven’t seen the outcome of that yet. They may have agreed to it today.

            The point is, however, that this specific article didn’t say what the person above said it did. Namely that Hezbollah agreed to anything.
