Fucking shocker.
Lebanon might as well admit Israel just annexed their southern border
But if the Lebanese army pushed back, that might anger their US overlords
See why I said hizbollah should never disarm (nor hamas)?
Yeah them restarting this war is turning out great
Israel restarted it
They did an Inception dream attack to trick them into firing those rockets?
No, they started a war of aggression with the goal of rendering Iran a failed state, in order to further their goal of total regional domination and expansion of israel's borders. Anyone with half a brain (i.e. not you) can see that they won't stop after Iran, so it's now or never.
Hezbollah participated in Iran's defensive war against Israel. They "started" it in the sense that Britain started WWII. Also, you know, Israel was committing ceasefire violations on a regular basis and still had Lebanese territory under occupation.
And Hezbollah was committing ceasefire violations by rearming and rebuilding positions below the Litani.
So Hezbollah has valiantly thrown themselves at Israel's flank to help protect the honorable theocratic regime in Iran. I'm sure the people in Lebanon being displaced and killed because of it will do so with a smile
"Look at what you made me do!"
A few years down the line, Israeli settlers come over in all this "unused land" , and a few years after that, a new buffer zone in Lebanon is needed to protect those settlers and so it goes
Even a greater Israel, even peace won't convince world jewry to move there for many reasons
Ah, it won't last forever.
Global climate change will make everything uninhabitable and kill anyone who hasn't fled fairly soon.
It's called annexing, not "taking over", It's just violent robbery at a national scale. Stealing another country's land because might makes right to these psychopaths.
Liebensraum
*Lebensraum
Liebensraum would be closer to "love room"
I appreciate the correction, but now I'm going to keep my error for the humour. No fix for you! Sorrynotsorry.
Love shack?
I've heard of that. It's a little ol' place where we can get together.
Lebensraum. There's no love (lieben) in this.
A little late bud, but welcome to the party.
? I don't see any other replies but mine. That's weird.
Comment by user einkorn made hours before yours. Maybe you blocked him.
I went to the original instance after this, found that name, and then searched my blocklist but didn't see them. We might not be federated with that instance or something.
Was always about imperial conquest.
Just like Russia in Ukraine.
They've occupied before, why not again? And slowly and steadily expand northward, genociding everything in their path, that's why hezbola was created, and that's why it's needed.
They are not a iota better than Russia.
They're way worse.
Now bragging about the gallows they made specifically to exterminate Palestinians/anyone who questions Israel inside of Israel
They're both fascist colonial states run by ridiculously evil people, but I'd definitely rather live in Crimea than the West Bank.
They've always been clear about their colonial ambitions.
This is the definition of imperialism, literally.
Rewrite for truthiness: Israel declares itself above international law - announces it will keep stolen land because "God" loves them most. Such a bunch of cunty fucks.
This was always their plan.
Yeah, basically they want to colonize it like the West Bank.
Before anyone criticizes Israel.......... Nope, shame that Nazi government and their supporters for all the genocide, war crimes, hypocrisy and and wider evil actions.
How can Isreal afford all these annexations? Does their economy run on spite?
Nope, American tax dollars.
but yes, also racist hatreds, supremacy, and spite.
So if the US crashes, Israel...
american AID/
Why would they need to afford them? The whole point of territorial expansion is to gain land, resources and other forms of wealth. I think you're referring to the occupations, in which case Israel is a wealthy developed country with a strong tech sector that also gets billions upon billions of US aid money annually. They also don't overextend themselves, and many empires past and present have occupied many more people and much more land compared to their core population/area. I mean their only active military operations are on and off bombings in Gaza, more intense bombings in Iran and an actual invasion in Lebanon. This isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, assuming they can control the fallout (which they've been somewhat failing at recently).
Let's be honest here. If they didn't have the US covering their ass at every turn, and US money fuelling their economy, their territorial expansions, violations of sovereignty and human rights abuses would have caused them to have faced even a modicum of retribution. Essentially they're a spoilt child, with a parent who can't see that their kid is part of the problem. But then the parent is a big problem too so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
So which country is finally Poland requiring a global response now?
Gaza.
It's been begging for help for close to a century now...
Lebanon's, who Israel does not allow any military equipment for its army, is more or less siding with Israel to take their people's land. It should be a warning to Iranians on getting an Israeli puppet as a new regime.
Isntreal would have to jump over Jordan or Syria and Iraq somehow to take Iranian clay.
Greater Israel includes most of Iraq and Kuwait. Current war on Iran, and "stone age" latest Trump threat, was always Israel's goal for the war to reduce Iran's power to object to that genocidal expansion. So it's not so much jump over... it's plow through Syria, Iraq, Kuwait.
It includes all land between the Euphrates and the Nile. Portions of Egypt and Saudi also in the crosshairs.
And God sayeth unto his followers..."Go forth and advance your real estate holdings!".
Another landgrab, Lebensraum, and Iran was the distraction.
David Ben-Gurion the founder of Israel wrote in his diary in 1948 that he wants the northern border of Israel to be the Litani river in Lebanon. This was always the goal and they won't stop.
They have said that before and had to leave.
Lebensraum
Is there a way to surgically drop a small nuke on the heads of state with an absolute minimum of collateral ? ideally, none at all ? asking for a friend. The friend being the french government
They've made a chicken cloud, that should be worth something, right?
