I mean I’d start by not committing genocide. And not keep bombing their people in foreign territory. The whole premise is flawed because there’s no need for Israel and Hezbollah to fight.

I can say a lot of things about how this take makes 0 sense, but first can I remind you that 9/11 was 20 years ago? Everyone who could legally vote at that time is at least 40 now. A good third of the US wasn’t even born yet.
Uh… What? I don’t know what Christians believe but Muslims do believe everyone holds responsibility for their actions (barring extenuating circumstances). You don’t need to be an edgy atheist all the time.
And Trump’s but basically yeah.
Stares at Gaza.
Stares harder at the West Bank.
Yeah…
Uh… You do know they have a chain of command right? There are many more where Nasrallah came from.
They’ll also lose the Latino vote, among others, so it’s not all good. There are people for which lax border policy is the reason they vote democrat.
Reagab stopped them from doing this exact same thing 40 years ago. Anyone still gonna say this administration isn’t more Zionist than usual?
Uh… Okay I guess.
Yes, exactly. Support for their defense is the same as support for their offense from a simple economic point of view. Your logic stops working when trying to wipe a small country’s worth of people out.
That’s… A good thing.
To object to this is to leave the citizens of Isreal defenseless.
Israel legally can’t get any US aid or arms. Period. It’s not ambiguous and maybe if they’re left defenseless they’ll consider maybe treating the people they’re oppressing as… people.
It seems relatively minor because we have 1.5 genocides going on at the moment, but when people don’t have money, they starve, and Israel has succeeded in turning West Bankers into wage slaves depending on their money. The post-2005 Gaza-Israel conflict was originally caused by the Israeli blockade (which, contrary to popular knowledge, came before any terror attacks, because it happened at the same time as the withdrawal). Just because they’re not lobbing rockets doesn’t mean this isn’t an atrocity that will cause damage for decades to come; remember 200k people is a little under 10% of the West Bank’s population. Not working population, just the whole population.
Palestinians are valuable wage slaves for Israel. It’s how Apartheid states work.
I mean you can look at this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_under_Muslim_rule
The Middle East was, as I said before, a safe haven for Jews who suffered from persecution in Europe for most of history. There were instances of persecution, but what was considered normal in Christian Europe was much more of an exception in the Muslim world.
Okay that is in fact normal to an extent. Adult → legal → none of your fucking business is probably the intended connotation.
Not to defend them, but Hezbollah attacked them one day after October 7th (so October 8th) in support of Hamas, which marked the start of the current round of violence. Israel widely escalated that with the pager attack which Hezbollah responded to with a bunch of rockets and then this happened. So: Opposed Israel’s genocide with military action.
I mean yes, but what I’m trying to say is that antisemitism wasn’t constant and came and went with time and place, like any other kind of xenophobia (or less so, because Jews and other people of the book are guaranteed civil rights in the Quran). Jews, as a rule, could live normal lives with no or minimal segregation under Muslim rule and the middle east was historically a safe haven for Jews fleeing persecution in Europe. It was, simply put, nothing like the region today or Europe historically.
So I’ll ramble a bit here.
We call those readings of the Quran, and they’re all proven (up to sahih hadith standards) to come from Muhammed himself. These aren’t changes that came with dialect (all of Quran is written in Classical Arabic, or the dialect of Arabic spoken in Mecca and its surroundings at the time of Muhammed), and in fact there was more diversity in how the Quran was recited in the past before Caliph Othman ordered everyone to burn down all Qurans that don’t follow the Meccan dialect to avoid strife in the Caliphate. I can go into more detail if you want, but what I want to say that these differences are “built in” so to speak, and are not any sort of gotcha.
Honestly, if anyone has the right to schadenfreude Hezbollah it’s Syrians. They’re doing good work in Palestine but holy fuck did they have to support the Syrian government out of all people?
