They aren't a major demographic force, but they were involved previously in the non-sectarian, secular, and communist factions of the Popular Guard, Lebanese National Movement, with anti-Zionist motives, allied with PLO and Hezbollah against specifically the Maronite Catholic factions.What about the Orthodox Christians of Lebanon (including the ethnic Armenians and Greeks there)?
Hezbollah didn't claim responsibility unlike how they usually do for their attacks. Iron Dome failed and hit a playground, pin blame on Hezbollah. Hezbollah doesn't have a history of hitting such targets.
Cmon Bibi, everyone is waiting. You don't even need to setup a false flag this time.
But in 2006 all Lebanese sects rallied around Hezbollah, no ? Why do you think it could be different this time?The Conservatives support for Israel is not any less than the Liberals. This is where the citizens fall prey to the game of musical chairs played by the State - they think they've accomplished something by changing the vote, but the new guys coming in resume the same policies. Repeat cycle.
The guy Trudeau replaced in 2015 (Harper) was an extremist which forced people to vote Trudeau despite knowing the latter is incompetent. As Trudeau entered, he changed nothing of the previous draconian policies set by Harper.
2033 - 2035 is the timeframe predicted by many analysts as the demise of Israel.
The Lebanese union between Muslims and Christians is fragile. The Melkite and Maronite Christians of Lebanon have historically sided with Israel, including participation in conflict and massacres on home soil. Sabra and Shatila are still fresh in everyone's memory. Lebanon will break and Israel will use it's Lebanese Christians as pawns or even as a vanguard against Hezbollah.
This is unlike in Gaza where resistance was only fighting a single invader. Hezbollah will surely be put up against both an outsider Israel and insider Christian militias, i.e. Lebanese Forces (or LAF, funded by the US), the largest party in the parliament which formerly conducted the Sabra and Shatila Massacre in Beirut, in collusion with IDF, as well as a rising number of private militias such as Jnoud al Rabb.
No, they stayed neutral just like the Lebanese government and army. 2006 was a miscalculation by Israel, as they made the mistake of bombing Beirut and general civil infrastructure around the country to the dismay of their local Lebanese allies. The Lebanese (Catholic) Christians are staunch opponents of Syria, Palestine, and Hezbollah as well as all other Islamic military and non-military organizations, hence they are natural allies of Israel. Their cause (from their perspective) can only be guaranteed by Israel.But in 2006 all Lebanese sects rallied around Hezbollah, no ? Why do you think it could be different this time?

It's not as if Israel didn't suffer likely on a daily basis a lot of casualties. Every apc blowing up contain what, 4 ppl at least? Rockets are going through daily as well, it's a few wounded and maybe 1 killed from time to time, every time a rocket goes through.Is there any actual evidence that it was an iron dome?
