I think this post was more about the endless investigations and repeated lies. A primary example video:
Hind Rajab, 200 Days Later: US Keeps Letting Israel Investigate Itself
The pagers blew up in Lebanon, unless there has been another attack in Palestine?
This user hasn’t posted about anything else for thousands of posts/comments since joining the platform 10 months ago. I wonder why.
Maybe you’re not happy that people are bringing attention to the genocide happening in Palestine but if that’s the case I would question your intentions, not the intentions of the person bringing attention to it.
These bots posting Israel - Palestine war content tire me. Mods should probably ban this bot. They’re not even posting in the right communities, lol.
Being anti Zionists is not being antisemitic.
I’m ok with Jews, I’m not ok with Israel committing a genocide.
The problem is that Jewish nationalism (aka Zionism) is what brought us here in the first place. So yes, I am against Zionism. I am ok with a two states solution but Israel doesn’t want that.
And no, I won’t accept that the blame is only at Hamas for what they did in October, because that’s ignoring all the illegal occupation that Israel has been doing for several decades.
You know that’s not true. Zionism wants all the territory for the “correct” Jews.
Zionism is simply Jewish nationalism
That’s a big part of the problem. Ethnostates and theocracies are invariably oppressive towards any inhabitants who are not of the dominant ethnicity or religion. Israel is no exception and shouldn’t be treated as one.
the right of self determination for the Jewish people in the form of a democratic state
An Apartheid state, which a formalized ethnostate by definition is, is inherently anti democratic and opposed to the self determination of everyone except the ruling people. Self determination through oppression of others is never and will never be legitimate.
I read all the definitions of antisemitism on your link and am not seeing the issue?
If you don’t like being compared to Nazis, maybe stop doing things that Nazis would do? Such as an ethnic cleansing?
Idk, just an idea…
Israel is a State, not people, you can hate it all you want, it doesn’t make you racist.
Hating a State doesn’t mean hating the people living under its rule or the people associated with its culture. Would you call me racist if I told you I hate the State of China for the genocides it’s committing?
Who called for Israelites to be displaced? It’s nowhere in the OP.
Who called for the destruction of Israel? It’s nowhere in the OP.
The OP is stating a fact, Israel is doing things in Gaza that other States wouldn’t be allowed to do to their neighbor without repercussions from first world countries. Stating that and saying that Israel needs to stop isn’t racism.
antisemitic
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Dunno why this thread is filled with people equating Hezbollah and Hamas, but they are different organizations representing different groups of people. Israel attacked Hezbollah with exploding pagers, not Hamas.
It’s a pretty big and important distinction, because this attack by Israel was only tangentially related to their genocide in Palestine. It’s further evidence of their expansionist goals as they continue a campaign of terror against other countries in the region.
So…your theory that this proves Israeli expansionism is based on the fact that Hezbollah is not Hamas… While conveniently ignoring the generations of bad blood and historically relevant context. Could you be any more reductive?

Hezbollah chose to enter this Israel/palestine war, this isn’t simply Israel taking advantage of the awful conflict to try and gain more land, it’s a blatant reaction. Sure if it results in more land, great, but this sort of thing is to be expected when you send missile after missile at a country. But no, Isreal would totally only respond to lethal threats if they can meet their expansionist goals right? That’s the only explanation of motivation right?
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-hezbollah
Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim political party and militant group based in Lebanon, where its extensive security apparatus, political organization, and social services network have fostered its reputation as “a state within a state.” Founded in the chaos of the fifteen-year Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-backed group is driven by its opposition to Israel and its resistance to Western influence in the Middle East.
Due to its history of carrying out terrorist attacks internationally, Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and many other countries, though some just apply this label to its armed wing. Hezbollah’s deep-rooted alliances with Iran and Syria have transformed it into an increasingly effective military force, creating a formidable opponent for its longtime enemy Israel. Escalating border clashes between the two adversaries now threaten to open a new battlefront in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which would come at great cost to economically devastated Lebanon.
Yes Israel’s disgusting expansionism is a problem, no it doesn’t create a clean convenient context that aligns with moral values and right to life like the one your comment is attempting to present. Obligatory fuck the IDF, and fuck Hamas, and sure why not Hez as well. There are no angels.
Why stop emphasizing right before a very critical point that is obvious:
which would come at great cost to economically devastated Lebanon.
Hezbollah is not in a position to benefit from any altercations. It is why they aren’t being the aggressor. There’s just Israeli offensives taking place. Remember Israel is still also doing the same things in the West Bank they’ve been doing.
The absolute and incredible disparity of capabilities cannot be ignored. They aren’t justification of any, but justified damnation for those in power and control.
