There was no hint of de-escalation as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area of Beirut on Friday, killing at least 31 people, including multiple Hezbollah commanders, and wounding at least dozens of others. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that the dead include three women and seven children.

During a Saturday television interview, Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch falsely proclaimed that “there is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon.”

“The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated,” he vowed. Pressed on the genocidal implications of the word “annihilated,” Kisch said, “Lebanon as we know it will not exist.”

    Israel is a violent ethnostate founded on ethnic cleansing and Settler Colonialism.

    Literally not true. Israel is not an ethnostate, it’s pretty diverse for the middle east actually. As for violence, they’re mostly responding to attacks on their soil. Hamas and Hezbollah will start wars they can’t win, and whine when they start getting their ass beat. It’s a war, not isolated terrorism. Shit sucks.

    Instead, Israel is engaged in the genocide of Palestinians.

    Hamas literally wants kill all Israelies. Israel on the other hand, wants the terrorism to stop.Bit of a difference. Why are you completely ignoring the crimes of Hamas and Hezbollah and pretending that Israel isn’t doing this in self defense?

    Zionism is incompatible with human rights and it always has been.

    You should really look up the rights of Israel vs Gaza/Lebanon.

    Alternatively, hold a pride parade in Gaza, I dare you. I double dog dare you. Full leather and dildos and fur suits and every stereotypical thing.
