The Zionist regime has killed over 3,000 people in Lebanon since the "ceasefire" in late 2024 including over 150 parademics in sick double tap strikes.

There will never be peace let alone justice until this genocidal colony of dismantled.

Israel has shown the world that the only thing it understands is a gun in their face. The only way to deal with them is to shoot at them till they beg for it to stop, and be ready to start shooting again the minute they break any cease fire. The entire world should be shooting at them if we had any decency.

If this holds, the next step will be shooting them until they withdraw from the lands they have stolen.

It was because Isreal was not respecting the ceasefire...

[–] Servomoore@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Especially when the Nazionists started bombing Beirut.

[–] CyroSignal@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Yes, that's true.

This Isn’t related, but I just watched a short documentary on Hasidic Jews from New York. And they don’t believe that Israel should exist. There’s something in their holy text Saying you can’t establish a state for the Jews before the Messiah comes.

[–] VoodooMischief@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Too bad using religious text to settle geopolitical issues is never a good idea. The fact of the matter is that the state exists. Erasure of a state shouldn’t be on the table and that goes for any country out there no matter how heinous or insignificant. Both Israel and Palestine need to come to an agreement wherein both parties can coexist in the present, otherwise their leadership is failing. I like that speech the Kenyan Ambassador Martin Kimani made to the UN back in 2022 when Russia attacked Ukraine. Sometimes it’s best to let go of historical gripes and to look at how you can work together with the “now”, otherwise you will end up fighting for all eternity.

[–] Arachnidbrilliant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree with you. I don’t know much about the Jewish faith. I was just surprised to hear that some Jewish people weren’t pro Israel. And HasidicJews at that.

[–] VoodooMischief@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

No worries. Wasn’t trying to lecture you, just thought your comment was a good segue. I appreciated your fact as well.

I often mention them when I'm making the point that claims that others are being anti-semitic when they criticize Israel because Israel represents the actual Jewish People (rather than just some people who are Jews plus a whole lot more people who are not) are the thing which is anti-semitic, since claiming that Israel represents the Jewish People denies the very clear and very explicitly voiced statements from a whole branch of the Jewish Religion about Israel not representing them.

Sure, Israel represents many people who are Jews, what it clear (in the face of not only this but also other Jewish groups such as for example Jewish Voices For Peace) is that it does not represent the Jewish People as a whole and if it does not represent the Jewish People as a whole then criticizing Israel is not criticizing the Jewish People and hence is not anti-semitism.

Israel has been bombing and bulldozing Lebanon incessantly for weeks. I would love to see Iran obliterate every single Zionist settlement in the west bank, for a start.

[–] Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca 56 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The BBC doesn't capture the sequence of events on purpose and Wuddi is trying to obfuscate even further.

  • Israel has been threatening to bomb a densely populated area in a Beirut suburb (this is while there's supposed to be a ceasefire in Lebanon)

  • Iran warns Israel saying that they will retaliate if they do

  • Israel bombs that area

  • Hezbollah respond with rockets

  • Iran makes good on their retaliation

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago

I get that. But Israel has also been bombing the shit out of southern Lebanon without cease.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

In a past life, I would feel sorry for the carnage, but Israel deserves every single missile fired at them and 10x that amount

[–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 107 points 2 days ago (23 children)

Iran has the right to defend itself and its allies.

Hope it hits some Israeli leaders

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the leaders military actions have overwhelming almost universal support by the public. People on lemmy and reddit twist themselves in knots trying to defend the tiny minority of moral Israelis but they are almost all just as guilty as the leaders are. They certainly have all --without exception-- enjoyed the benefits of Israeli genocide just by living there. No israeli has clean hands on that one.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, the Iranians are conducting a ceasefire Isreal style.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bullshit. The cesefire ended the day the usa attacked by surprise a third time Iran under pretext of preemptive attack

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He/she was being sarcastic. Isra-hell has been known to continue attacking while supposedly under a ceasefire.

[–] goferking0 11 points 1 day ago

You sure? Way too many, like the op, are being completely serious about shit like this. Almost impossible to tell anymore unfortunately

Hours after Iran said they didnt trust them because they'd already been attacked twice during negotiations.

Israel,expect it to receive it in kind when you are bombarding your "enemies with airstrikes and missiles.
