I guess the Lebanese allowing their government and military to be infiltrated and usurped by Iranian and Iranian funded terrorists, for the past 40 years, which continually attack the far superior armed Israel from Lebanese territory, with no domestic internal Lebanese fight back, at all, wasn't such a great idea after all, huh. I mean, who knew.
So by that logic, can the US just bomb the shit out of Mexico cause of their cartels problems?
Last time Lebanon and Israel were at war Israel lost. Hezbollah is better armed and trained now, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Israel is bombing civilian areas now, using terrorism because they cannot effectively stop Hezbollah rockets from hitting targets in 'Israel'. People of Lebanon support Hezbollah and actions against Israel, they aren't being held hostage.
Putting Israel in quotes tells me everything I need to know about your background.
Maybe you're just a biased idiot? (Or is that antisemitism?)
Considering that Benji "Israel" Netanyahu keeps occupying lands that nobody in the civilized world will accept as Israel's (see Europe and ignore US), maybe the quotes make sense.
No need to call me idiot. This place really is an uncultured echo chamber....
I guess I could have just called you wrong.
I am used to calling people who have limited knowledge in something and jump to conclusions "idiots". Whether it's a one time thing or a long-term character trait remains to be seen.
The action is still idiotic eitherway.
There are a lot of triggerhappy people on lemmy, but it does seem that the general outlook is quite knowledgeable, and the votes do favor the verbosely-factually-correct.
Bruh... quit your BS propaganda. I know a family from south Lebanon, its Hezbollah martial law there. And if you have the audacity to have critical thoughts on Hezbollah/Iran/Hamas you get beaten or killed...
Political Hezbollah has only 12 seats in Lebanon, they are a minority, yet they control everything. Government is corrupted and keep a blind eye on what they do. Vast majority of Lebanese want them out. Recession and corruption is entirely Hezbollah/Iran doing.
You dont even know history and can't even spell Lebanon, you are a troll...
Hezbollah grew out of the brutal occupation of Southern Lebanon by Israel.
Shia initially viewed the Israelis with some optimism because they were not happy Fatah.
Israel's brutal occupation quickly changed that sentiment.
Mods? Why aren't you banning this post for genocide denial? I'll help: Uyghur Uyghur Uyghur! That should get your attention
