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

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

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.

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

Including (but not limited to):

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

Because that’s what it does.

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

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.

Especially when the president is a Democrat.

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.

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.

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
