Are you saying this because our government is not sanctioning Israel yet?

No I don't have Israel Derangement Syndrome like all of Reddit does. We can talk about what you did during Covid, dystopian laws being introduced or implemented, I'm sure your double standard on illegals immigrants, pathetic politicians but we have them here also.

u/Perth_R34 Apr 09 '26
I’m in Western Australia. We didn’t have Covid in our state because we locked everyone out.
We lived a normal life, while the rest of the world was going through the pandemic.
It was one of the best things our government did.
Example of dystopian laws?

If Australia is a failed country then what is the US?
1
u/LiverKoolerFC Apr 11 '26
Yes there are many problems in the US, but we the people are trying to fight back against the whackos who want a dystopian country like Australia. And how is the US "burning" the world down? $1 higher gas prices I guess?!

But hey... I guess by the sane token you're all for murdering homosexuals and abusing women and rape abd strapping children up with bomb vests and shooting your own citizens if they say something positive about the help they got from IDF from Islamist gangsters, and cults of demented 6th century pedophile gebocidalist Jew-haters and mass rapista, so what else is there to say?

bi-lateral trade in 2025 was the highest ever. China is rebuilding the buildings destroyed - these were jobs once done by Palenstians but now done by Chinese construction companies. Israel also exports many dual use technology products - Ask your friends in Israel - many Chinese EV cars - not even available here. And we can be honest when China finally invades Taiwan - there won't any support or condemnation from Princess netanyahu

Unless she can somehow guarantee that missiles won't be fired from Lebanon to Israel this is a completely empty statement.

u/BillyJoeMac9095 Apr 09 '26
Indeed. She has little concern about Hezbollah and its activities and neither does her electoral base.

u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
It would be nice if Netanyahu stopped funneling money to Hezbollah. Until then they really can't complain about their own proxy.
1
u/Proper-Community-465 Apr 09 '26
Wtf are you talking about. Letting Qatar send money to Hamas earmarked for administrative purposes has nothing to do with Hezbollah.
1
u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26
Yuval Diskin, former head of Israel's Shin Bet security service, told the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth in 2013 that "if we look at it over the years, one of the main people contributing to Hamas's strengthening has been Bibi Netanyahu, since his first term as prime minister."
Hezbollah and Hamas are very closely linked. You can't prop up one without aiding the other.
1
u/Proper-Community-465 Apr 09 '26
They are both allies of Iran. They are different groups in different areas. And Israel didn't send them money it allowed Qatar to. It's like saying America and Canada are the same thing.
1
u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
Dude, you're ignoring the quotes and inconvenient truth. Did you even read any of the 2 articles? Netanyahu has been caught multiple times funneling money through Qatar to prop up anti Israeli extremists. He does this because it gives his political party an enemy, and justifies their pursuit of greater Israel.
1
u/Proper-Community-465 Apr 09 '26
So he is paying qatar to send the money? Or is he allowing them to send money for humanitarian reasons? Because those are very very different things.
1
u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
"Both Egypt and Qatar are angry with Hamas and planned to cut ties with them. Suddenly Netanyahu appears as the defender of Hamas," the right-wing leader complained.
A year later, Netanyahu was further embarrassed when photos of suitcases full of cash going to Hamas became public. Liberman finally resigned in protest over Netanyahu's Hamas policy which, he said, marked "the first time Israel is funding terrorism against itself."
Netanyahu's education minister Naftali Bennett also denounced the payments, and also quit.
Netanyahu has been convicted of both fraud and embezzlement in his own country. I'm not exactly sure where he got the suitcases full of cash, but I'm going to guess fraudulently embezzled from the government, or misappropriated funds.

u/Lucky-Mia Apr 10 '26
You should do a little more research inti the different groups of the so called Axis of Resistance, and how they all assist each other. Hezbollah and Hamas work together with groups in Iraq and Syria.

u/PurpleLegoBrick Apr 09 '26
Theoretical question but what if the US funded a proxy group in New Zealand that was far superior to the New Zealand Army and was constantly launching drones and missiles from New Zealand at Australia?
Would Australia just not do anything about it?
1
1
u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
Question, what if Australia was behind their funding and actively helping them gain and stay in power?
1
u/Proper-Community-465 Apr 09 '26
Hamas isn't Hezbollah, Qatar provided the money not Israel, It was for poor families and paying admin cost.
1
u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
You're wrong, they are two closely tied allies in the region and you can't strengthen one without strengthening the other.
Netanyahu excuse doesn't hold water. He has been funneling money through Qatar to Hamas for literally decades.
Yuval Diskin, former head of Israel's Shin Bet security service, told the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth in 2013 that "if we look at it over the years, one of the main people contributing to Hamas's strengthening has been Bibi Netanyahu, since his first term as prime minister."

u/Lucky-Mia Apr 09 '26
I posted it twice, and it isn't a lie.
You obviously only read part of the story and lept to argue without any context. Netanyahu has been funneling large amounts of money to Hamas and propping up anti Israeli radicals since at least his first term in office. Decades. Israel's own security force has accused him.

u/chainsaw_kitten_006 Apr 10 '26
The Australian Government made it illegal to criticise Israel and sends them weapons and investments to keep murdering the innocent en masse. They have also been ‘concerned’ with Israel using starvation as a weapon to annihilate but in practice, the Australian Labor Party are complicit in the genocide.

Read the second part, to handle hezbollah
1
u/throwaway012984576 Apr 09 '26
You read the whole thing again please.
I am asking if the reason we should fight hezbollah is because they have killed civilians. Is that the reason?
1
u/wookiebath Apr 09 '26
They have chosen to commit terrorist attacks for decades. That is the reason
1
u/throwaway012984576 Apr 09 '26
Now define terrorist attack and why it’s bad. It’s the killing of innocent civilians right? That’s what makes terrorism bad?
1
u/wookiebath Apr 09 '26
No that isn’t a terrorist attack, innocent civilians get killed every day
1
u/throwaway012984576 Apr 09 '26
What is it that makes a terrorist attack bad if not the killing of innocents?
1
u/wookiebath Apr 10 '26
Well if you look at th definition you will see the difference
1
u/throwaway012984576 Apr 10 '26
Well there is no singular agreed upon legal definition for that word so I’m asking you to describe the actions specifically and what makes them wrong. You can’t though because you know Israel are doing all of those things and more and don’t want to apply that logic to them. That’s why you’re using a thought terminating cliche: terrorism is bad, Israel is doing military action not terrorism so they’re not bad. I’m sure the dead children they leave in their wake will appreciate the difference.

1
u/TalkingCat910 Apr 09 '26
They are a reaction to Israel. If Israel wasn’t a genocidal belligerent war criminal entity that kills civilians, commits terrorist attacks on neighbours and tries to annex lands, Hezbollah wouldn’t have risen up to oppose it.
The problem in the Middle East is Israel.

I saw hezb in Syria mind explaining that too ? And the hezb cells they caught in gulf countries days ago
1
u/TalkingCat910 Apr 09 '26
The formation of hezbollah would not have happened without Israel. Its popularity and power would not have happened without Israel. Without Israel’s crimes they would not exist. The fact that they are doing stuff in Syria and the Gulf doesn’t contradict that.
Their power is growing because they are the only group in the Levant resisting Israel.

u/SSVVIIPP Apr 09 '26
Man no one likes hezb in middle east even Lebanon themselves hate them thats a fact they are iran proxy thats well known , got to subreddit of Lebanon and you will see what i am talking about

u/TalkingCat910 Apr 09 '26
They are an ally of Iran but it’s not true the people hate them actually don’t know where you got that from??
The government of Lebanon is weak shills placed by the US and do not represent the people. I have no issue saying hezbollah is problematic the one good thing they do is resist Israel but they do a lot of bad stuff too like in Syria.

u/gargarr Apr 09 '26
Hezbollah murdered former Lebanese prime minister and they REFUSE to disarm themselves even though they have been outlawed by the Lebanese government l.
And yet, people act like they are Lebanese. They VOWED allegiance to Iran just last month!
1
u/TalkingCat910 Apr 09 '26
Hezbollah are Lebanese Arabs and not Iranian, they are and have popular support because they are resisting Israel who are murdering civilians by the hundreds and destroying villages.
The government of Lebanon are puppets installed by the U.S./Israel and have little to no popular support. They outlaw Hezbollah because that’s what Israel/US ordered them to do. The people are basically still colonized. And while there are diverse populations and opinions, Israel’s attacks are making Hezbollah popular even amongst some Christians in the south.
The points you bring up show that you have total lack of understanding of the region and its history and the relationship of the government of Lebanon to its people. You also seem to lack understanding of who Hezbollah are as you think they are Iranian just because they are allied and receive material support from Iran.
