    David Ben-Gurion the founder of Israel wrote in his diary in 1948 that he wants the northern border of Israel to be the Litani river in Lebanon. This was always the goal and they won’t stop.

    Rewrite for truthiness: Israel declares itself above international law - announces it will keep stolen land because “God” loves them most. Such a bunch of cunty fucks.

    A few years down the line, Israeli settlers come over in all this “unused land” , and a few years after that, a new buffer zone in Lebanon is needed to protect those settlers and so it goes

            Hezbollah participated in Iran’s defensive war against Israel. They “started” it in the sense that Britain started WWII. Also, you know, Israel was committing ceasefire violations on a regular basis and still had Lebanese territory under occupation.

              And Hezbollah was committing ceasefire violations by rearming and rebuilding positions below the Litani.

              So Hezbollah has valiantly thrown themselves at Israel’s flank to help protect the honorable theocratic regime in Iran. I’m sure the people in Lebanon being displaced and killed because of it will do so with a smile

                No, they started a war of aggression with the goal of rendering Iran a failed state, in order to further their goal of total regional domination and expansion of israel’s borders. Anyone with half a brain (i.e. not you) can see that they won’t stop after Iran, so it’s now or never.
