alt Hacker NewsNobody is buying this narrative of Israel being provoked, because the reaction to the provocation, if there ever was one, is completely disproportional.
Israel had settlements in Palestine way before the conflict outbreak, and nothing explains the systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure on Lebanon but for Israel just going supernova, like Germany and Japan back then.
Israel's faults do not mean they were not provoked. Iran has been sending everything they can to anyone who wants to harm Israel.
What Israel has done is a completely irrelevant to what Iran has been doing.
