‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon
ck2: No more offensive weaponsLet them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc.I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more.It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they wantIsrael has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent peopleThey also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: One of the most diverse countries in the world and still very little attention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Lebanonhttps://www.dailysabah.com/opinion/columns/jews-want-to-kill...
lostlogin: There used to be a weekly column in the Independent by Robert Fisk, and it frequently discussed life in Lebanon. It sounded amazing, though often rather too war torn.The Independent seems to have gone to garbage for n recent years, sadly.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fisk
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: No, just give them nothing. "Right to exist" is a bullshit propaganda term. Doesn't mean anything.
tarkin2: It frames themselves as under attack, which thereby gives themselves moral justification to attack, and when those attacked attack back they fulfill their justification, and the circle of violence and death perpetuates.
andrepd: The West at large continuing to be complicit in Israel's aggression and genocide is a source of great shame to me. Unlike many other atrocities of the past 75 years, this could not have been done without our help.
well_ackshually: >Israel has a right to existCountries don't have any "right to exist", this very term is thought terminating propaganda created by Israel. Israel does not have a right to exist, countries either are, or aren't. People have a right to live.And as it stands, Israel is a terrorist nation commiting war crimes and a genocide daily."Defensive" weapons also do not exist. If you give Israel weapons, or sell them weapons, you are complicit in their actions.
sgt: They will just start making their own offensive weapons.
constantius: > thought-terminating propagandaExactly. I always struggled with this (which is the desired effect) until I heard Francesca Albanese give this exact answer.There is no right to exist for a country under international law, but there is a right to live for people.
lovegrenoble: Stop Israel's aggression and genocide.
A_D_E_P_T: They're import-reliant. They don't make steel, don't make aluminum, don't have a large chemicals industry, etc. They're very vulnerable to sanctions and trade restrictions.
drekipus: [delayed]
dewey: Start? They have a large military sector already with IAI, Elbit etc.
neeeeeeal: One religion seems to be missing from this list of “diversity”. Hmmmm…
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: Keep going, this should be interesting.
andrepd: Took so long to get flagged? I'm surprised...If the US–Iran front of the war is relevant for hn I don't see why the Israel–Lebanon one wouldn't.
andrepd: "We have democracy for some of our citizens" is not the flex they think it is.
devilkin: Not sure what country you are referring to, Iran? USA? Israel? Libanon?
