Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.
“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.
“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”
Terrorism is when ones tries to achieve political objectives by putting pressure on a population through attacks on non-military targets.
What Israel is saying here is like Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers to “pressure their political opponents”.
Netanyahu is the closest thing we’ve had to Hitler in quite a while.
He is Hitler.
Why do they hate us so much?
Would it be because I’m a genocidal dictator dick?
Naaah, it must be them, they are the fanatics, they are the psychos, not me!
So then dont couse the destruction…?
“Free yourself from Hezbollah so that it’s easier for us to roll in and take everything” is what he’s actually saying.
They’ve already started advertising for new homes for Israeli’s to purchase in Lebanon.
If by “they” you mean Israel, no they aren’t.
That ad is fake. It’s propaganda from a small, extremist organization that advocates for Israeli settlement of southern Lebanon. They’ve also sent eviction notices to residents of Labanon via balloons and drones.
The ad was made by an Israeli settler organization, but that doesn’t make it fake. The Israeli government pretends to have nothing to do with these things then defends them; that’s how their settlements have always work. In the case of an occupation, I don’t see any difference between South Lebanon and the West Bank, in which case this ad is very much real.
It’s fake because it’s not an ad.
It’s propaganda designed to look like an ad. The group that made it does not sell or develop property. It is impossible to buy the “advertised” property because it doesn’t exist and they are not selling property.
The threat from the group is real. Their intention is to legitimize the idea of occupying and settling southern Lebanon. They themselves say that they are not selling property but promoting a future where it’s possible for Israelis to buy/sell property in southern Lebanon.
Oh, I see now. Yeah that makes sense.
Yeah, I’m not buying that for a second. Just because there’s no clear link between these settler groups and the Israeli government doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. This is what Israel does. Displaces a population through force and violence and then settles them for their own people.
What exactly aren’t you buying?
It is literally not an advertisement for property. No one is advertising property for sale. Your speculation about the relationship between two groups not selling property seems pretty pointless in this case.
There are plenty things to be angry at Israel about. You shouldn’t waste your time being angry about imaginary things.
I’m not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon once they manage to displace enough people. We’ve seen it done many times to the Palestinians over the past 70+ years. There’s no reason for anyone to believe they don’t want to do the same here. They literally tried doing that in the 90s with the south of Lebanon, and Hezbolllah harassed them so much that they were forced to leave the area and give it back to Lebanon.
What’s that got to do with me? I wasn’t talking about whether Israel has plans to occupy or settle Lebanon. I was commenting on whether they are advertising property for sale, which they are not.
What do you mean what’s that got to do with you? I never talked about in the first place?
You:
I’m not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon
I’m not selling that.
I’m not commenting on Israeli intentions in Lebanon. I’m not defending Israel or their aims. I’m just commenting on one small thing:
Is Israel advertising property for sale in Lebanon?
And they aren’t.
I’m not trying to convince you that it has some big implication for their intentions in Lebanon. It doesn’t. They just aren’t advertising property for sale in Lebanon. Whatever Israel’s intentions are, that claim is false.
he’ll have to get his piss baby troops into Lebanon first. How’s that limited military operation going sir?
“Overthrow your government for us. C’mon. Do it or I’ll punch you harder!”
Warmongering Israel, fun times.
Israeli terroristic threats levied to innocent civilians. Must be a wednesday.
What language was the announcement in?
Israel is very consistent in using the language for televised statements in the language of the intended audience.
When Israel states something in English, the intended audience is generally the US, not whom they are addressing.
Then they’ll do Syria, then Egypt with the Muslim brotherhood, then they’ll attack Iraq, then they’ll attack Saudi Arabia, and it’ll continue on and on like this.
I’m curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Right? I think that’s when the US will eventually say stop.
But who knows.
It’s the exact same playbook as in Palestine.
No doubt there will soon be Israeli “settlers” in Lebanese territory surrounded by enormous areas stolen from the locals “for security”.
They’ve already been brainwashing their population for a long time:
Children’s book about invading Lebanon
And advertising properties for sale in Lebanon:
Settler group advertises properties for sale in southern Lebanon
A rabidly racist society whose leaders keep telling the West that they have “Western Values”.
Yeah, 19th Century White Colonialist Values, same kind that the Belgians in Congo and the Afrikaneers in South Africa had.
And they act as if we should be afraid of Hamas and Hezbollah.
I certainly don’t support Islamist groups, but both Hamas and Hezbollah have been born out of necessary resistance to Israel’s aggression. There could have been secular or socialist resistance groups, but Hamas and Hezbollah are the ones that have been funded and propped up because it’s easy to paint them as the enemy. Hamas and Hezbollah aren’t coming for any of us.
I have zero fear of Hezbollah or Hamas, but I’m deeply fearful of Zionists.
The only way this possibility ends in peace is an airstrike resulting in Netanyahu’s death, which is rather unlikely
So effing sick… 😥
why is this man in government and not standing trial in front of the international criminal court
Because we don’t have an international criminal police force.
