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.
… or all of Radical Islam admits the cost is too high and gives up their pointless hate.
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?
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.
I get what you’re saying. It frustrates me that anyone thinks citizenship matters when it comes to civilians getting bombed.
I don’t know what sane American would be in Lebanon, but then again there’s Americans who get it in their fool heads to go to active war zones all the time. Like they’re fucking tourists to a war, not even to fight. Not to mention North Korea.
America has lot’s Lebanese people. They’re just there to visit their families. Lebanon wasn’t an active war zone until Israel decided it was. Thanks to being enabled by America.
Hezbollah has been launching rockets at Israel for a year now, they were the ones who made it a war zone, Israel just decided to finally respond to being attacked.
There are 6,000 Americans trying to leave. We’ve evacuated 100.
What the fuck is going with my country? Biden was supposed to be a vote for the status quo after a crazy 4 years but now it feels like we’re right back in the Trump years.
Nah, there’s nothing about capitalism to protect here. I would agree that’s part of their support for Israel, but not getting our own people out of the way doesn’t make sense with that.
Well, that’s because they are.
