I think Israel lives on its people considering Arabs their enemy. It makes them tolerate a lot more from their government that they otherwise wouldn't.

I think they rather suffocate Palestinians slowly rather than end them all at once.

Lebanon main govt will recognize the game and let it be. Hezbollah will be upset and launch the same rockets they were going to launch anyway.

This is the optimistic output, and I hope that's what happens. But this is a major escalation from Israel, aiming to provoke hezbollah. It would not be any surprising if Hezbollah escalates back accordingly.

Israel does not gain from this assassination in the way you think. Hamas' effectiveness is not reduced one bit and Israel knows it. Their only goal is to escalate with Hezbollah, and justify expanding their attacks into Lebanon.

I just hope that Hezbollah makes a calculated response that does not give Israel the pretext they're looking for. So far, hezbollah has only attacked Israel in Lebanese territory, not Palestinian. Attacking Israel in Palestine would be a significant escalation but also an appropriate response.

Those borders you're speaking of at borders between hezbollah-controlled Lebanon and Israeli-controlled Lebanon. They're Lebanese regions not Palestinian.

Not that I would condemn attacking the Israeli military in Israel itself, but just clarifying bases in my knowledge.

It's obvious that the only reason Israel did this assassination is to provoke hezbollah. Their failure in gaza calls for trying with Lebanon. Israel seems desperate.

If only this were the only type of military action Israel would pursue.

I see what you're saying, but provoking a neighboring country into expanding the war is hardly something to celebrate.

Israel can't eliminate Hamas, but they're effective at targeting 5 year old children.

With the constant attacks from Lebanon into Israel and Lebanon sheltering hamas and hezbollah terrorists is there any benefit in not escalating?

Lebanon and hezbollah did not attack Israel in occupied Palestine. They have only attacked them in Lebanon territory that Israel occupies, your framing is misinformation and incorrect.

Israel just bombed Beirut, targeting a Hamas official.

This is a major escalation, and could mean an expansion of Hezbollah's involvement, spreading the war into other parts of the Middle East.

I disagree with your comment but I agree that it doesn't break the rules. @mods let us have a discussion with people of different opinions.

In any case, it was the Western world and the US that has been posturing. They hold north Koreans under brutal suffocating sanctions. North Korea resisting this must not be condemned.

Guix is almost like nix but with scheme, right? Any other differences?

I do like scheme. Nix is quite impressive. But my unpopular opinion is I am not convinced it's philosophy is necessary. Nix feels like a workaround to legacy baggage in POSIX to allow for all its features of full reproducibility of packages and the overall system. Although Gentoo is not exactly reproducible, I feel like the level of control is sufficient to give me the benefits I want.

Nix works for maybe 95% of cases, but the 5% where its workarounds do not work sre annoying to deal with. Gentoo on the other hand doesn't break so much from the traditional unix way of doing things, but still grants the user a great load of freedom and choice.

You don't really explain why activityPub is limiting you. It's hard to help you here.
