Israel Steps Up Attacks in Lebanon as Fighting Spreads
(www.nytimes.com)
Israel is a rogue state.
How far is this going to be allowed to go? Netanyahu is going to hand the US election to Trump while crushing his opponents. It has to stop somewhere. If Trump gets in it won't be the US that stops it.
I assume it's going to go until World War III, and until the US is an overt kleptocratic police state.
Really.
until the US is an overt kleptocratic police state.
Wait until you hear about the history and present reality of USA...
That word "overt" isn't there by accident.
There's a significant difference between an oligarchic kleptocracy that has to pretend to be a representative democracy and an oligarchic kleptocracy that doesn't have to bother pretending to be anything else.
Rogue from whom? Ireland? Because they don't seem to be nearly as isolated as anyone else would be for doing what they are.
rogue state
noun
- state or nation acting outside of the accepted international norms and policies.
Notice: Four hospitals out of service. While I doubt we'll see anything as bad as what happened to the Gaza Healthcare sysem, Lebanese healthcare is also being targeted.
Also, unlike in Gaza where Hamas has nowhere to hide except amongst civilians, South Lebanon is a mountainous region. Hezbollah don't have bases in or near hospitals. The IDF targets hospitals because they WANT to target hospitals.
The IDF targets hospitals because they WANT to target hospitals.
They even gave a name to it:
Explainer: The Dahiya Doctrine & Israel’s Use of Disproportionate Force
The Dahiya Doctrine is an Israeli military doctrine that calls for the use of massive, disproportionate force and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Of course they stepped up fighting. Does anyone believe anything Netanyahu says anymore other than bought and blackmailed politicians?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
