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

Because that’s what it does.

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

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.

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

If there was only one man remaining on the Earth, would this be regarded as extinction?

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

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

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