Question: Will Lebanon get fully involved in the war right now?

I know Egypt won't because even Egypt does not like Palestinians at all.

Lebanon however has it's own terrorist organizations who might feel emboldened to attack Israel in some great Jihad or something if loads of Palestinians die.

I don't see Iran invading and joining in.

So will Lebanon invade Israel now?

Define Lebanon. Hezbollah probably will but probably to not much a greater intensity than they're doing now. The Lebanese state almost certainly won't at least not unless you get the maximal settler fantasy of total Gazan death which just isn't realistically happening.

Yes, I'm sure. Killing 2 million people from a purely logistical point of view takes far too much time and investment to do, would come at a high cost to Israelis (almost certainly needing boots on the ground which would most certainly be a clusterfrick surpassing 2006. and would, despite the memes here, set pretty much the entire world against them, and their near neighbourhood violently so, dashing all the work done in the past 50 years by an Israeli foreign policy establishment made up of people far more bloodthirsty, calculated and capable than Bibi and his modern Liberal Nationalists.

Alright but 500,000 not 2 million. That's like 1/4th.

Would still require and end up with all of the above. Assuming the Israelis go to the realistic max without a full-scale occupation (i.e. a sustained 100% round-the-clock air campaign) you aren't getting more than 10-20k dead Gazans out of this. Even with a multi-month occupation unless one alleges the Israelis are going to start killing people deliberately you'd be struggling to get over 50k and a proportional increase in Israeli casualties to match.

I disagree.

The Israeli's kill 10's of thousand from the air bombings.

Then the Israeli's kill 10's of thousands from the zero supplies getting into Palestine bit.

They are not going to start supplying Palestine again, and they are not going to let Egypt supply Palestine either.

Unless you think the Jews control the world it's not up to them. The day headlines of actual mass starvation hit the world news headlines is the day any food blockade ends. Water and electricity were quite frankly sporadic anyway and the Palestinians will cope without them.

The Israeli's kill 10's of thousand from the air bombings.

They'll kill 10k-20k max from the air bombings at their most maximal. You can't subjugate a people from the air and you certainly can't kill hundreds of thousands of them too.

Bet.

Israel isn't an international near-pariah state that couldn't be punished more than it already had been in a state of civil war.
