Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly 'quadruple tap'

Less than 28 days ago you were commenting multiple times on Iran, Islamists and geopolitics involving war. Why are you suddenly so jumpy? I don't get it. Why is it suddenly unacceptable to talk about quadruple tappings on medical workers by Israel?

Who's the 'non-zionist' choice in the US?

Are there any polls (or any educated guesses) gauging what proportion of people who identify as Zionists want equal status with all Palestinians (particularly democratic rights) within the bounds of what was once Mandatory Palestine?

The only way Zionism can be moral is if it abandons the idea of a Jewish supremacist nation.

From the beginning, the founders of the Zionist movement were completely on board with the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians from their lands to establish the Israeli state.

Did you know that Jews lived among Muslims for over a thousand years in peace? In fact, Muslims were the ones who took them in when the Europeans massacred, persecuted, and expelled them out during the middle ages.

The violence started happening when the Zionists wanted the land for themselves, exclusive of the indigenous population (1948 nakba).

  today. I’m aware that Jews and Muslims live in Iran today

zionism has been genocidal from the start. the early zionists were white supremacists who wanted to colonise palestine and beyond. when the culture changed against white supremacy, they rebranded to "jews just want to be safe in their ancestral lands". unfortunately, you can't pull off something like the 1948 nakba and the 1967 land grab and continued occupation and then say that you just want to chill in peace.

Hezbollah isn't in Israel, so any argument about what happened in Israel is irrelevant. And by far the primary cause of Palestinians leaving was Arab countries telling them to get out of the way of the coming invasion. And, well, when you refuse to agree to lay down arms is it really surprising you're not allowed back in?

King David Hotel? You mean British military HQ? Who received and ignored the warning about the bomb?

USS Liberty--ever consider how hard it is to identify ships from the air in a combat situation? Israel knew the ship claimed to be American, but they thought that was a ruse.

that sounds like propaganda to me. what is "zionist" anyone who looks after the interests of israel and its right to exist (that's not the same as supporting this war for the record)? and what does zionism have to do with these wars or war crimes? Isn't it precisely the anti-zionist sentiment you eschew that resulted in the Oct 7 attacks by Hammas, which lead to this war? Or are you suggesting genocide/ethnic-cleansing but it's fine so long as it's jews? Israel has been around for ~80 years now as a country, the US has been around 250, what's your metric on how long a country has to be around before you can call your sentiment ethnic-cleansing?

perhaps you're saying the people who support the war lobbying in the US are to blame? Yeah, they suck, but what do you suggest? Iran, Hezbolla (in lebannon) and Hammas (freely elected by Palestinians) all not just don't recognize israel's right to exist, but they continually threaten to kill all Israelis and reclaim the land (and this is after countries like Iran expelled all their jewish population). So you want Israel to be self-sufficent, all with it's own nukes. What's your expectation, that they'll give up and leave (where to?), or they'll be unable to defend themselves without the help of the US, and they'll avoid using their nukes? What happens when Iran gets nukes, will they watch and wait until they get nuked, because they're afraid the US will not like them anymore (look at what they're doing now when virtually everyone but the US isn't on their side).

I just don't get it, I know you're just repeating propaganda, but it saddens me to see the lack of critical thinking, or any thought or attempt to actually seek peace or advocate positions and politics that will have some realistic positive impact.

I mean come on, the US is still in NATO and only because of trump's remarks and hostility, Europe is rearming itself against an undetermined potential aggressor, that's while they still have US support. You want the US to pull all of it's military support, for a country that has been facing existential threats since its founding, and you expect peace out of that? or is your aim to see tens of millions die on both sides, and you're just rooting for Israel to be wiped off the map, and that somehow is victory?

Do you know why there is a cease-fire today, in Lebanon? Because the US demanded it as part of the cooperation with Israel, that's it. That's what supporting them purchases, influence. Not supporting them doesn't result in peace. Do you know why Israel hasn't been bombing Iran already? because their ally the US didn't want them to, they've been trying to for ages. If these are the war crimes being committed, even with a displeased US as an ally, what do you think will happen when they have no one left to displease that they care about?

Do you perhaps think it's like the US over there, where wars end because their economy declines and too many soldiers are dying? The alternative is genocide against their people in their minds!

it's really annoying seeing performative support for those being harmed by these ridiculous wars. But I get that you and others actually care about this, I don't mean to dismiss that, but these sentiments have impact. I'm pretty sure a large part of why trump is in office now (and thus, why this war is happening) is due to people staying home or voting for trump because they disapproved of the democrats of kamala over not supporting that silly propaganda nonsense you're repeating.

Now, I've made claims that in multiple ways, your sentiment and views are contributing factors causing this conflict, and might cause even greater tragedies to happen. I hope you re-evaluate, or critically analyze my claims and find reasonable faults that allow you to articulate your own original views instead of repeated propaganda talking-points.

They can't, else their bigotry and support for genocide would be too evident. Such pathetic cowards...

In all your comments, you keep referring to the resistance groups fighting the Israeli occupation as terrorists, which I’m guessing makes you either an Israeli or pro-Israel.

The IOF has been notoriously lying about killing and torturing civilians. Not only that, but even soldiers caught red-handed on video raping prisoners have not only gotten away scot-free but also been allowed to rejoin the army. Is there a reason why we should trust anything such a genocidal, morally corrupt organization has to say?
