Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?

Because that’s what it does.

More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.

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

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

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.

There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.

Including (but not limited to):

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

These and other misunderstandings lead to poor decisions about how to react to a situation like the current one.

In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.

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.

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.

Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.
