Anybody can fact-check that claim. As it does not pass the smell test. Are you referencing Iran sources or Hezbollah? Do you concede Hezbollah hides behind women and children? Do you concede Iran used little boys as human mine sweepers to trigger landmines with their bodies and gave them keys to heaven, Iraq? Do you concede that? Or are you going to ignore? Get out of town

Israel in last 3 years has killed over 62,000 people, 20,000 being children in Gaza. Are you saying they have changed their tactics in Lebanon?

That is answered in the Bible. The Abrahamic Covenant Is Unconditional and Eternal
--------------
for the sake of the fathers" comes from the Apostle Paul in Romans 11:28. It refers to the enduring love God has for the Jewish people—the original branches of His covenant tree—because of His ancient, irrevocable promises to their founding ancestors (the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). This biblical teaching highlights several key principles regarding God’s promises: Unconditional Love: Paul explains that even though the Israelites rejected the gospel at the time, they remain deeply beloved by God not for their own present actions, but on account of their forefathers.

Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Paul teaches the Romans that the Gospel must continue to be offered to hid kinsmen.
The reason, because God intends to save a REMNANT of them.
The Romans do not know who these Jews will be, but God does because He "foreknew"(v.2) them.
These Jews are going to be Christians.
They are going to be citizens of the "Israel of God" Galatians 6:15 and 16.
They will also be counted as "Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" Galatians 3:29.

The Abrahamic Covenant was made to Christ.
Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Notice that the believers from the other nations are included in all these blessings too.
That is what Paul refers to in Romans 11:26 when he says "And so all Israel shall be saved".

Leveling a town with standoff missiles and aerial bombs to drive out the civilians in order to establish a buffer zone, as is being done now in southern Lebanon and openly admitted to by the IDF, is not urban warfare; it's genocide.

Randomly destroying civilian buildings in Beirut because Hezbollah used an FPV drone against the invading IDF in southern Lebanon is not self-defense or urban warfare; it's a war crime and genocide. Gvir or Smotrich openly called for leveling 10 buildings in Beirut for every FPV drone used. That's not warfare; that's terror.

Absurd. Israel is creating a buffer zone to protect its civilians from continual bombardment by Hezbollah. When Hezbollah quits shooting, Israel will have no need to create a buffer zone. Mr Trump has just ensured that Hezbollah will be rearmed and resupplied by Iran. So the war against Hezbollah will continue.

If you have a better idea of how defend a tiny country surrounded by enemies, I'm sure Israel will be glad to hear it.

Trump has more humanity and sense than you do

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇱Trump critizes Israel for the slaughter of civilians Lebanon: “Buildings are being dropped on top of them, or right alongside of them. How would you like to live there? It's so unfair, especially Beirut, you know — you're going to Beirut and... I looked, I looked at the scene...

Muzzies, Jews, Christians and loads of Atheists.
We get along ok here, other than an "Isis" incident recently.
A Muslim guy was also the hero of that day because he snatched a gun from the Israeli payed terrorist.
I see that you are free to criticize Australia to it's face, just as I am to America.
God bless you for that, because it is your right under international law.
Under your law I would be free to assassinate your leaders.
I am sure that you will be wise enough to reconsider your position.

No one is calling for the murder of 90 million people. It's called a straw man argument. You resort to that because the truth is uncomfortable.

The truth is that Iran's regime is a threat to world peace. No Christian is calling for the murder of 90 million Iranians. The Iranian regime is perfectly willing to do that themselves. If you had even the slightest clue about Iran's regime, you would know that they declared war on America in 1979.

Do you not care at all about the many believers being murdered because they've turned away from Islam? In the early days of the Church, there was no power that could take on the Roman empire. Alaric, a Christian who was king of the Goths, sacked Rome in August 410 AD.

War is a terrible thing, but sometimes necessary, as Ecclesiastes says. God Himself commanded Israel to destroy their enemies.

Are you @Kroogz?

You should view all nations as equally guilty and you would be much better off in understanding great power politics.

Yes, so amazing at how forgiving and magnanimous the IRGC can be after the US and Israel targeted their leaders and tried to kill them all.

Right, so you’re saying, “Good job terrorists!” 😾👎🏻

Iran now has the opportunity to rearm and restore the capabilities of Hamas and Hezbollah. What happens when Hezbollah attacks Israel yet again? Israel responds, Iran claims the ceasefire is over and it's on again. Iran has only agreed only to negotiate on the Uranium stockpile. Of course, we know how honourable and truthful the Iranian regime is. They pinky promised not to build nukes. Yet there is no civilian use for highly enriched uranium.

Iran's unwavering commitment to destroying Israel has not changed. Neither has their intent to destroy America. So I am not at all optimistic about the future of Iran or America for that matter.​

I don't think any person literate in English who is honest would interpret what I said to mean what you said. To help you out I put the comment to Claude.Ai to interpret, here is what Claude.Ai said

It's almost certainly sardonic, and quite pointedly so. The speaker is highlighting what they see as a glaring irony: the IRGC (Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), which lost significant leadership figures to targeted strikes, is now being framed in diplomatic language as a cooperative partner coming to the peace table. The word choices — "forgiving," "magnanimous" — are the giveaway. Those are words you'd use to describe a gracious victor extending mercy, not a military organization that was on the receiving end of a campaign to decapitate its leadership.


The underlying implication the commenter is making is one of two things (or both):


1. The IRGC isn't actually being magnanimous — they're coming to the table because they had no choice, and framing it as generosity on their part is absurd. The sarcasm punctures any narrative that portrays Iran as nobly forgiving American and Israeli aggression.


2. The peace deal itself may be less than it appears — the comment could be a veiled skepticism that any agreement with an organization that just took severe military hits is going to be durable or genuine. "Magnanimous" organizations don't typically forget.


Analysts at the Atlantic Council have noted that Iran effectively converted the Strait of Hormuz closure into real leverage, imposing costs across the global economy — and is now being offered sanctions relief to reopen something that was open before the war began. That context gives the sardonic comment even more bite: from a certain vantage point, Iran absorbed the strikes, held firm economically, and extracted concessions. Atlantic Council


I hope this helps, you obviously have difficulty reading English.

Yes, I feel that we have been telling children that the tooth fairy does not exist.
Is this the effect of denominational churches?
People who are persuaded that it is evil to look outside the box?
