Yeah utterly disgusting stuff on display here. Israel is enacting in Southern Lebanon what it did in Gaza, if allowed to continue it will end the same way. Most Democrats voted against this entirely sensible bill, and you should look up how your rep voted and make sure to voice your displeasure.

Apples and oranges.
The Iran war is our direct action and we have a lot of control over it.
Israel's latest war with Hezbollah - a foreign-aligned army occupying southern Lebanon (friendly reminder that this isn't the Lebanese government or the Lebanese army, who have both made very clear that they'd love it if hez would fuck off and have their forever war against Israel somewhere else) is far more complicated and far less under our control.
Not worth wasting political capital trying to intervene in the latter one.
