There was no hint of de-escalation as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area of Beirut on Friday, killing at least 31 people, including multiple Hezbollah commanders, and wounding at least dozens of others. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that the dead include three women and seven children.
During a Saturday television interview, Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch falsely proclaimed that “there is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon.”
“The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated,” he vowed. Pressed on the genocidal implications of the word “annihilated,” Kisch said, “Lebanon as we know it will not exist.”
God told these cultists that they’re supposed to steal all the land between certain latitudes or something. I dunno. I’m not in that cult.
First there was no difference between gaza/the Palestinians and Hamas, now there’s no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon…
Americans, leash your fucking dog.
They sell their weapons for “influence” but have 0 influence over the ones they sell their weapons to Same thing for Saudi Arabia
As an American, I believe you have the relationship wrong. We are Israel’s bitch.
US has only one master and that’s capitalism. Israel has money and is making the war machine rich. If Israel started costing the rich in the US money that would change very quickly.
It’s really more like one of those really toxic codependent relationships where both seize to use any reason because they’re just whoring to the whims of the other.
Like a really sexually frustrated 50 year old (married) guy and a 20 year old bipolar exotic (male) dancer with a substance abuse issue
Not Israel’s so much as Bibi’s.
He loves to humiliate us cause we’re his sub and he gets off on showing us how total his control is.
Dude…I am yet to hear any individual I interact with support these atrocities… Americans are pretty disgusted with the government too.
You might want to check elsewhere in this comment section.
They have been saying the quiet stuff out loud for quite some time now.
Minister of Education? I wonder what the curriculum looks like.
If this is anything to go off I’d wager similar to if Florida was in the middle east.
Are Israelis Krikkiters?
…please don’t ruin HHG for me 😰

It’s intriguing how only the weakest in the region seem to “start” wars with Israel.

Yeah, they’re in a war that Lebanon started. And turns out, only America has the luxury of leaving their enemies alive
It seems someone has certainly not educated themselves on history. But did not expect that anyway from an Israel-supporter who is fine with murdering innocent people along the way.
Israel literally stole the Palestinian land, murdered many innocent people along the way and displaced 750 000 Palestinian people.
You cannot expect people and other countries to just let that happen without retaliation.
Besides I don’t even think America has any luxury of letting enemies alive if they’re immensely dangerous to the country. But then again America is the one enabling Israel to commit all these war crimes (genocide).
EDIT: Ouch, seeing your comment history. You deny that Israel is a Apartheid state. I will just block you. You are not worth the debate because of that.
This is Lebanon, not Gaza.
It’s all part of the bigger plan… lebensraum…
And they are inextricably linked. Hezbollah sucks, Hamas sucks, but Israel sucks worse. They are coming to the aid of their comrades.
Okay, by what measure do you think Israel is worse than Lebanon?
Lebanon isn’t doing genocide.

All that Israel will accomplish is a lifetime of angry people who want to cause harm to the state that did this to their families, terror attacks by hezbola and hamas will continue, get worse and all but ensure a right wing autocracy who say, and will somehow be believed to be the only ones who can keep israel safe™. Please give up your freedoms so that we can “protect you”.
Israel has had angry neighbors, who want to kill them since before the state even existed.
Before israel existed, anti-semitism didn’t exist in the middle east apart from zionists collaborating with the nazis.
Look up Hebron massacre 1929 for starters.
Where was Jerusalem Mufti Al-Husseini during WW2?
Farhud in Iraq ring a bell?
And vice versa, now israel is aided by the US, it no longer needs to commit acts of terrorism. Instead of building a taller wall, they should have built a longer table.
That’s why Israel’s goal is to kill their families too
That, plus settlements that they’ll start setting up in Lebanon as soon as they have the opportunity. Border’s gotta expand…
Yup, bibi knows about lebensraum, and wants to give it a go himself.
So what will change?
It’ll get worse.
Then you can commit your genocide on your own.
We’ll just cancel all aid of any kind, best of luck.
Who started this war is very debatable. Because historically speaking this is just the latest stage of violence in the region.
It’s no historical mystery. Zionists openly plotted and engineered the theft of palestine explicitly modeling colonialism. There was literally no war before then.
If you want to get really technical, Britain started the war when it created Israel. Before that, I don’t think Irgun’s terrorism counted as a separatist movement.
That is not a good take on history. Would you say the same about WW1 and WW2? Because these could also be framed as “just the latest stage of violence in the region”
In a way WWI fueled the dissatisfaction of regular Germans and led to the rise of the Nazi party. Without the treaty of Versailles, most likely WWII would have never happened. So yes, you always need to consider the context.
And yes, the normal reaction of human beings of their struggles caused by others is to create resistance movements, so in a way, if you remove those struggles, the terrorism and resistance movements will die down. Because there is not a single prosperous country with an active and strong terrorist organisation. And yes, people inherently are the same, everywhere in the world.
And our goal as humanity is to preserve the humane part.

I would say France is a pretty prosperous country who just got out of the Basque conflict but are still fighting terrorist groups
Israel is the one that has repeatedly targeted civilians
Quotes
The doctrine is named after the Dahiya suburb of Beirut, where the Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah has its headquarters, which the Israeli military leveled during its assault on Lebanon in the summer of 2006 that killed nearly 1,000 civilians, about a third of them children, and caused enormous damage to the country’s civilian infrastructure, including power plants, sewage treatment plants, bridges, and port facilities.
It was formulated by then-General Gadi Eisenkot when he was Chief of Northern Command. As he explained in 2008 referring to a future war on Lebanon: "What happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on… We will apply disproportionate force on it (village) and cause great damage and destruction there. From our standpoint, these are not civilian villages, they are military bases… This is not a recommendation. This is a plan. And it has been approved.” Eisenkot went on to become chief of the general staff of the Israeli military before retiring in 2019.
While it became official Israeli military doctrine after Israel’s 2006 attack on Lebanon, Israel’s military has used disproportionate force and targeted Palestinian, Lebanese, and other civilians since Israel was established in 1948 based on the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians, including dozens of massacres to force them to flee for their lives.
Not to mention that Hezbollah only exists because of Israel
Quotes
The 1982 Lebanon war began on 6 June 1982, when Israel invaded again for the purpose of attacking the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Israeli army laid siege to Beirut. During the conflict, according to Lebanese sources, between 15,000 and 20,000 people were killed, mostly civilians.
On 16 February 1985, Shia Sheik Ibrahim al-Amin declared a manifesto in Lebanon, announcing a resistance movement called Hezbollah, whose goals included combating the Israeli occupation. During the South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000) the Hezbollah militia waged a guerrilla campaign against Israeli forces occupying Southern Lebanon and their South Lebanon Army proxies.

Did you not know that Lebanon kills civilians all the time? Literally, they fired artillery and rockets at civilian targets on Oct 8th. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Hezbollah_conflict_(2023–present)
Like honestly, you seem well informed. Are you deliberately ignoring what Hamas and Hezbollah does?
Did you not know that Israel kills civilians, and guess what, Israel is responsible for the killing of a lot more civilians than Hezbollah and Hamas together. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_in_the_Israeli–Palestinian_conflict#:~:text=According to B’tselem’s,been killed by Palestinian forces.
So it is very disputable if Israel has the moral high ground on this.
According to Hezbollah. Not an unbiased source
Just as reliable as using idf as a source
From the hundreds of sources in that wiki page, the vast majority are Israeli and Western sources. So why would you say ‘according to Hezbollah’ in response?
No, I don’t ignore the actions of Hezbollah or Hamas. Its a bad situation all around. I recognize that violence doesn’t come out of nowhere, there are underlying causes and historical context. Fundamentally, all people are created equal, and all people deserve equal rights. Israel is a violent ethnostate founded on ethnic cleansing and Settler Colonialism. A lasting peace requires a regime change that replaces that with a secular One-State that gives equal rights to the indigenous Palestinian people. Instead, Israel is engaged in the genocide of Palestinians. Zionism is incompatible with human rights and it always has been.
Edit: if you disagree with any of that, explain why. Violence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It comes from either dehumanization and exploitation or as a reaction to violence
