Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

At first I really wanted to say “good, now they are treated the same as the Lebanese people living alongside them” but no, that definitely isn’t “good” by any real measure of this word. I hope this whole tragedy will stop soon.

It won’t stop until either Israel is disarmed or there is a complete change of people in charge of Israel and criminals like Netanyahu, his entire government and IDF commanders are sent to prison.

That latter option won’t cause much change. Israel is, as a state and as a people, ideologically poisoned. They need something on the level of the denazification of Germany before you can hope for any change.

I am not disagreeing with you but you need to start somewhere. Sending Netanyahu, his government and senior IDF officers to prison for war crimes would send shock waves and could be a trigger of wider changes.

Ideally, I would like to see Northern Ireland power sharing solution in Palestine/Israel where each office is shared equally between Israelis and Palestinians. That however in my view can only follow after justice for the victims is achieved first and the perpetrators are in prison.

Disarming Israel will make the war stop just like how disarming Ukraine would make that war stop as well.

You meant Russia and yeah, both Israel and Russia should be disarmed.

Only Nazi’s think hating genocide is pointless.

Don’t you think that feelings of victims hating the perpetrators are completely justified?

Pointless hate? These people are subject to Israeli Apartheid and acts of ethnic cleansing. Daily. What part of fighting that is pointless?

It’s not radical to stand up for oppression and genocide. It’s not pointless to hate a group of people who stolen everything from you. The fact that you would label it as such just goes to show how little you actually value human lives and their rights.

I get what you’re saying. It frustrates me that anyone thinks citizenship matters when it comes to civilians getting bombed.

I mean morally it doesn’t, but it should matter for the US that it’s citizens are getting bombed. More than just a moral failure, America not acting to protect those citizens indicates its failure as a state. It’s very much worth pointing out.
