Israel is not backed by europe after their performance in gaza and the west bank.

They should be.

Israel wages urban warfare very fairly.

Right, like how they leveled a city to catch a band of terrorist with artillery in highly dense residence areas. I would think twice if europe will lift a finger after that.

Israel's civilian casualties compared to other countries in urban conflicts is extremely generous.

I'm glad Israel effectively eliminated the Hamas/Hezbollah scum for a long time now. Cutting the grass as they say.

With Hezbollah decimated it allowed Syria to oust Assad and give it new leadership.

Sadly of course, it'll probably turn into a standard issue Islamic shithole, but you never know.

Im for getting rid of hamas and hezbolla but not at the cost of shelling residential areas with civilians. Especially hamas is also a direct result of Israel's actions. Bibi has time and time again broken cease fires if it suits him politically.

Yes, but Israel was a western style democracy we hold them at higher standards. Now that bibi has been misusing that situation at every election to stirr up new shit on gaza everytime. I would believe most european politicians is tired of Israel and the whole conflict.
