Now they're just furious that the other side of the story is becoming more widely known.

And they're helping with publicity because apparently they haven't heard of the Streisand effect.

He doesn't need to. The project 2025 christian nationalists are doing the thinking for him.

Yeah, being founded to fight off a genocidal occupation absolves one of all wrong. I've already been made aware of that.

Yeah, it's not enough to call Israel genocidal fascists, have to agree with the hive mind or its IDF astroturfing.

It's funny, I came here in part because the zionist hive mind of Reddit was disgusting.

And all I'm finding here is a tankie hive mind.

Extremists on both sides, nuance not allowed.

Nitpicking is not an argument, it's hasbara.

No, nitpicking is how you arrive at the truth. And the truth is that Israel are genocidal aggressors. But the truth is also that Hezbollah are aggressors.

Calling any criticism of Israel's enemies "Hasbara" is the exact same bullshit as Israel calling criticism "Antisemitism". Different side of the same shit coin.

And the articles accompanying this graph clearly contradict it, while the graph itself provides no sources. A graph itself is not a source.

a shadow economy is also a breeding ground for corruption.

literally the next fucking paragraph in my comment.

yeah, quote from that link

Since October 8, when Lebanon's Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian people

[–] Vergissmeinnicht@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago

Why would 58% of Lebanese would support Hezbollah maintaining it's arm other than to be used against the Israeli threat?

Oh fucking stop it. Threat against Lebanon specifically. A retaliation against Hamas, even if completely disproportionate and genocidal is not a threat against Lebanon.

Israel want to create a greater Israel which include Lebanon.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon kinda works against that claim.

Hezbollah rocket was thrown on Shaba farms, Lebanese occupied land

Not according to the UN?

Not to mention Israel constantly breach the resolution 1701 yearly

Unlike Hezbollah?

waiting for Palestine to be completely destroyed then wait for Israel to occupy and colonize Lebanon again.

Extraordinary claims again

If you think Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into the fight without consent, then France dragged themselves into the war by signing a mutual defense alliance with Poland

Unlike the French government, Hezbollah didn't have the representative authority to do so. Doing it without such an authority is in itself a form if aggression (against the people of Lebanon, not against Israel)

Linked article disagrees with the info graphic, info graphic does not provide sources. What's your justification of choosing the info graphic over the linked article?

[–] Vergissmeinnicht@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

58% to 64% of the Lebanese population opposing Hezbollah’s immediate disarmament

Opposing Hezbollah's immediate disarmament is not equivalent to consent to enter the war of Israel against Palestine.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between colonialism and occupation either.

Just rolling with how loosely you seemingly use the term. Israel may be colonialists in general, but in the specific context of Israel vs Hezbollah they are clearly not.

I was talking during WW2 against the axis not after Germany surrendered.

Yeah, conveniently leaving out one of the greatest examples of a resistance fighting force becoming the occupying colonialists?

I love how you also ignore France and Britain

What about France and Britain?

France did not wait for Germany to start aggressing it to declare and attacking war on the Nazis

The French government being the democratically elected government representing the French people and territory signed an alliance with the Polish government. As such Germany's invasion of Poland was also an aggression against France, not the other way around. There is no such understanding between Palestine and Lebanon. Or Iran and Lebanon.

And sure, you could argue that Hezbollah are allied with the IRGC and Hamas, but Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into the fight without consent.
