Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.
There are 6,000 Americans trying to leave. We’ve evacuated 100.
What the fuck is going with my country? Biden was supposed to be a vote for the status quo after a crazy 4 years but now it feels like we’re right back in the Trump years.
It’s neoliberalism protecting capitalism
You misspelled “nazism”. Israel is a Nazi state, starting from racial laws, imperialism and occupation and ending on the genocide.
At first I really wanted to say “good, now they are treated the same as the Lebanese people living alongside them” but no, that definitely isn’t “good” by any real measure of this word. I hope this whole tragedy will stop soon.
It won’t stop until either Israel is disarmed or there is a complete change of people in charge of Israel and criminals like Netanyahu, his entire government and IDF commanders are sent to prison.
Disarming Israel will make the war stop just like how disarming Ukraine would make that war stop as well.
You meant Russia and yeah, both Israel and Russia should be disarmed.
No, I meant Ukraine. If Russia was disarmed, Ukraine and probably every other nation as well would just leave them alone. If Israel was disarmed, its enemies would murder every single jew in there.
That’s why comparison to Ukraine is more accurate.
No, you definitely meant Russia. Aggressive fascist state invading their neighbours and murdering civilians, just like Israel.
You don’t get to blame just one side for murdering civilians when both sides are doing it. You’re being dishonest. The only reason there aren’t more dead Israeli civilians is because of their world-class air defense systems and their enemy’s lack of military capacity.
I’d be really curious to hear what you imagine would happen to the Israeli population if we removed their ability to defend themselves and why it wouldn’t be october 7th times a million?
No, it is definitely aggressors fault. Both Russia and Israel should fuck off back into their INTERNATIONALLY recognised borders.
That latter option won’t cause much change. Israel is, as a state and as a people, ideologically poisoned. They need something on the level of the denazification of Germany before you can hope for any change.
I am not disagreeing with you but you need to start somewhere. Sending Netanyahu, his government and senior IDF officers to prison for war crimes would send shock waves and could be a trigger of wider changes.
Ideally, I would like to see Northern Ireland power sharing solution in Palestine/Israel where each office is shared equally between Israelis and Palestinians. That however in my view can only follow after justice for the victims is achieved first and the perpetrators are in prison.
Honestly, I don’t think justice for Palestinians is likely. As I see it, peace is inevitable but moderately far at the pace we’re going, but justice would require a perceived violation of Israel’s integrity that Palestinians will never have the bargaining power to demand. It’d be throwing a wrench into a peace process that will likely be reluctant and fragile already. Justice would be nice to have as an addon, but Palestinians will likely choose to take the fastest route towards human rights, which will be a two-state solution where Palestinians make some concessions but gain a state with real sovereignty. If something drastically changes justice might become possible, but in my thinking it’ll be Palestinians, not Israelis, making concessions to make peace possible a la the Oslo Accords.
Honestly, I don’t think justice for Palestinians is likely
Sadly, you may be right.
… or all of Radical Islam admits the cost is too high and gives up their pointless hate.
Don’t you think that feelings of victims hating the perpetrators are completely justified?
That’s not the point. Forgiveness to avoid more tragedy is.
Did the Jews forgive nazi perpetrators? Or were they still hunting them down many years after the war?
So why do you want Palestinians to forgive nazi perpetrators?
I don’t know what sane American would be in Lebanon, but then again there’s Americans who get it in their fool heads to go to active war zones all the time. Like they’re fucking tourists to a war, not even to fight. Not to mention North Korea.
America has lot’s Lebanese people. They’re just there to visit their families. Lebanon wasn’t an active war zone until Israel decided it was. Thanks to being enabled by America.
Hezbollah has been launching rockets at Israel for a year now, they were the ones who made it a war zone, Israel just decided to finally respond to being attacked.
That is false.
… like everything else nazi apologists are saying.
