    They’re threatening all of Lebanon, not just Hezbolah, because Lebanon government won’t stop Hezbolah. Fun fact: Israel has prevented Lebanese army from having any weapons since they put them in power.

      They will do it once Iran is neutralized. They dont want to share a border with them and do the heavy lifting themselves. They have manipulated US hirelings to die for that purpose.

      It is very important to know that Israel was always like this and dearabization was always their goal. Their founding members saw every “arab” as an enemy no matter what.

              To be clear, that isn’t a pro Zionist comment. Sometimes people try to justify Israel’s existence as if that land was always Israel and it is a useful metric to point out that no, it was a new creation and doesn’t have any time based legitimacy.

              Also, I’m a pedant. :/

      Kushner is an ardent zionist himself, along with his felon disbarred criminal father who is now serving as Us ambassador to France after being pardoned by trump in exchange for massive campaign donations. The murder and theft from innocents is half the fun for the kushners. The rebuilding for Israelis is just the icing on top of the criminal cake.

                I’m calling out American civilians for being as bad as Israeli civilians in the face of their own militaries attacking other civilians. Clearly if Americans are at fault for this, then I’m saying Israelis are too.
                But I’m curious, is the downvoting due to
                A) reading comprehension issues
                B) pushback against criticism of amaericans
                C) generally wearing puce coloured glasses.

            in no healthy democracy, you have both parties supporting a genocide.

            fuck both parties are just the same political ideology, two corporate bought neoliberals. the election is just how racist you want them, like openly racist, or secretly racist.

                  Or until they just send in the national guard, or ice at this point, to just shoot everyone, or maybe just bomb the whole area, both of which has happened multiple times. It’s going to take more than protests and it’s also going to require international intervention. There is no such thing as a peaceful compromise with warmongering theocratic fascists.

                  Getting involved in primaries is great. But letting the right win isnt burning the system down. Its giving power to an opposition party so they can make life worse for hundreds of millions of people and take away their rights. Every term they have they shore up more power through corruption and make it harder for an opposition party to win.

                I’m not a bot and I didn’t vote for trump. I voted for the genocide candidate you wanted instead of the other genocide candidate you were fine with as long as there was no anti-genocide candidate.

                You got the only thing any centrist has ever wanted. You got an election in which genocide was the only option. Stop gloating.
