Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?
Last Updated: 25.06.2025 00:09
Israel is doing the world a favor by destroying groups that would gladly attack the States just as badly as they attacked Israel on October 7th.
It causes the US to push Israel to restrain itself, which just ends up empowering its enemies. It causes Israel society to resent Western countries that bomb the crap out of Afghanistan for two decades, but ask Israel to exercise restraint the day a war begins. It leaves the US vulnerable to attacks at the hands of those Israel is trying to stop. Why? All to try and gain recognition for solving problems of the Middle East they’ll likely not even coming close to solve.
In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.
The likelihood of creating peace in the region is minuscule, and there probably far easier and more likely paths to carve out your legacy as a world leader.
More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.
There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.

Countries and organizations hellbent on Israel’s destructions don’t care about what the West think of them or their actions.

These and other misunderstandings lead to poor decisions about how to react to a situation like the current one.
Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.
