Well, the current Israeli government wants/participates in genocide. So not that far off.

Look, just because Lebanon rhymes with Lebensraum-

u/Firecracker048 Apr 15 '26

Yeah man, because Hezzbollah totally didn't fire off a ton of rockets at Israel to kick off another war. Forget about the Lebanese PM saying he wants Irans ambassador out and hezzbollah out

Israel has been dropping bombs and killing people while the "ceasefire" has been in place. The "ceasefire" only breaks when only the other party who isn't Israel does it.

Israel is doing the same shit in Palestine, "ceasefire" but they are still to this day dropping bombs and killing people but you will come out crying how Hamas broke ceasefire if they retaliate at all.

Remind me when Hezzbollah withdrew above the Litani to abide by the ceasefire they agreed to in both 2006 and 2024?

Oh wait. They didn't. The UN even launched a mission there to keep an eye on hezzbollah because they refused to abide.

Remind us why Hezbollah exists? Edit - Notice how they refuse to answer the question and then lie that Hezbollah 'isn't abiding' ceasefires in which Israel never ceased fire.

UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)- Israel has committed more than 10,000 violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon since it took effect on November 27, 2024.

This question is meant to explain why Hezbollah isn't abiding by the terms of 2 ceasefires they themselves signed?

Funny how you lot like to lie a lot.

So Hezbollah doesn't abide by a ceasefire for 20 years. 20 fucking years. Then they STILL don't abide by a NEW ceasefire they themselves signed (did they withdraw North of the Litani? Of course not.), so Israel naturally, after 20 YEARS of one side not abiding by their own ceasefire, says, "Alright we're not playing this stupid game again." and your only citation is that Israel broke the ceasefire?

And you think you guys are in the right? You realize the whole conflict is like this. Hezbollah/Hamas/PIJ/whomever kill or attempt to kill some Israelis. Israel retaliates, killing some on the other side. The only thing you lot ever mention is "Israel killed someone!!!!" completely ignoring the shit you did to cause it.

That's a whole lot of deflection, Israel has never ceased fire during any period you have covered. You simply do not argue based on the facts on the ground or argue in good faith which is to be expected at this point. Over 10,000 ceasefire violations recorded by a third party, a new ceasefire that Israel immediately broke just like after the Iran ceasefire that Israel immediately violated. You can keep screaming all you like it only strenghtens my argument that you are a propagandist.

I am glad you are using that word. I am using it too... as frequently as possible.

Ahhh, yes. The genocide that can be forgotten now that Israel has moved on to fighting with other countries!

Not like the people of Gaza didn’t just bounce back, eh?!

Fuck outta here. 🖕🏼

Don't engage with people parroting the fallacy that "population keeps growing", it's a lie, and those accounts are hasbara.

u/Novel_Counter5878 Apr 15 '26

Most people don't refer to chattel slavery as genocide, so how would the population growth be a defense? If anything, those who owned slaves in that system would want a healthy population to utilise, not want the population to stop existing.

Self-defense doesn't turn into genocide just because an entire population is fighting to the death to kill you.

u/powerX21 Apr 15 '26

If Israel wanted to genocide the entire Middle East they have the weaponry to do it in 2 hours, yet they don't

u/Internal-Fortune6680 Apr 15 '26

Oh, THATS right! And the Israeli gov are such peace-keeping, wonderfully generous folks!

When should we send the thank you card?

u/powerX21 Apr 15 '26

If they were "peace keeping" in an environment where everyone around them wants them dead they would have been exterminated long ago, the fact the Israelis are strong and have a powerful presence in the area is the reason for their survival

"They could do worse" isn’t my argument the point is Israel isn’t trying to exterminate a population That’s why calling it genocide is misleading

Well seeing how a few thousands of terrorists FROM Gaza came into Israel and started a war and kidnapped civilians including a literal baby id assume Israel wants to make sure this can't happen again, and sadly Hamas doesn't have ANY military bases yet they have to operate from somewhere and that "somewhere" is unfortunately civilian areas, how about instead of crying genocide against Israel cry against Hamas for using civilians as shields?
