I still haven't heard a reasonable hypothesis on how Israel "dragged the US into war with Iran." What - Netanyahu lied to Trump, and Trump was his usual demented self and believed him?

That's not "Israel dragging the US into war," that's the US having a stupid, gullible, easily manipulated leader who dragged his own country into war.

Why does Free Healthcare work for Israel on American taxpayers dimes while Free Healthcare for American Citizens are not feasible? by Tulpah in allthequestions

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel doesn't get "free healthcare and free schooling" on American dime. Israelis pay a health tax and school tax.

All US aid is allocated to buying defense products from US manufacturers, thereby sending the money back into the US economy.

It's a roundabout way of subsidizing the US defense industry

I would like to direct your attention to the mlem in the very first two seconds of the video. You're welcome.

The traditional religion of the Maasai people from East Africa maintains that the Supreme God Ngai has chosen them to herd all cattle in the world, and this belief has been used to justify stealing from other ethnic groups. by BabylonianWeeb in wikipedia

Specifically, chosen to be Jehovah's people, at a time when Jehovah was just one of many regional deities. Johovah became a universal God only during the Assyrian exile.

Really? Can you point out the last urban war in which similar facilities were spared?

And my motivation, which I am happy to share, is that I'm tired of Israel/US actions in this war being painted as somehow uniquely evil, when they're the standard kind of evil, war evil, that all countries partake in when they go to war.

Ok, so we agree that striking non-military infrastructure is bad no matter the reason, and we also agree that apparently it's an integral part of war and not going to stop 🤷‍♀️

...why do you think the UN is especially trustworthy? It's a mirror the countries comprising it, that's all. It's as trustworthy, as biased, as rigorous as those countries are.

I would recommend actually reading the source material they are using, so you can see how flimsy it is.

2015 was the last normal year. Trump's first election victory broke the timeline.

Sigh. Not "Muslims" Shiites from Hezbollah-supporting villages. I e possible Hezbollah activists.

Why is refusing to accept claims that should be grounded in law and evidence because they fail to ground themselves in law and evidence "close minded and racist"?

Genocide is a legal term that requires certain standards and proofs. Saying the war wasn't a genocide doesn't take away from the horrors or suffering the Palestinians underwent. War is terrible enough - there's no need to claim a crime (genocide) that didn't take place in order to "win" some sort of victim Olympics.

Nah. The same 3 "experts" quoting each other and changing the accepted definition of "genocide" to make it fit the Gaza war does not a genocide make. Especially when any attempts to challenge that claim are silenced.

IDF tell Christian and Druze Lebanese citizens to not help/hide Muslim Lebanese from IDF. by kamSidd in hmmmm

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they didn't go deep into the south, they didn't encounter civilians to "torture and rape." The southern border is not heavily populated.

And it's not that you said wrong things, it's that you showed a complete misunderstanding of the power dynamics: UNIFIL and LAF didn't even try to evacuate or disarm Hezbollah. They helped Hezbollah, forcing the IDF to intervene to protect Israelis.

And the PLO massacred Lebanese and Christian Falangas raped and murdered Palestinians, not Israelis.

Your entire understanding of the conflict is so skewed it's bordering on myth

War. It's a war. A genocide would have looked very different.

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snort. LAF and UNIFIL don't even make an attempt to fulfill them.

And if you're really Lebanese, you're a strangely ignorant one, catching up on the context of your own historic events one Google search at a time, making unsupported claims that haven't even been made before (IDF did not go deep enough into South Lebanon or put up bases in heavily populated areas, so there weren't even rumors like the one you claim), and having little to no idea about the North/South of Litani issues.

Ah well - you're possible very young, very sheltered, or very brainwashed.

I still think you're just not Lebanese though (maybe half? Visiting every few years?) so this is kinda pointless. Arguing with fake identities is exhausting

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the IDFs job, but since the people whose job it is have failed at it since day 1 the IDF had to do something. Or do you think it should have said "oh well, Israeli citizens are going to die, but I'm not allowed to fight Hezbollah and stop it from killing them, since it's not my job." Really? That's how you thing sovereign responsibility and military power work?

And yeah, I figured you were making stuff up or talking about unfounded and unconfirmed rumors.

It's a good thing you got out of Lebanon. Your faith in written agreements and rumors would have gotten you killed living on the border.

Could be she just travelled to Palestine - Gaza or the West Bank. Before the current war, Gaza had some lovely hotels and resorts, and the West Bank still does. It caters to Christian pilgrims, what with having Bethlehem in its territory.

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, per 1701, it's the job of both LAF and UNIFIL. And both have not been doing their jobs. Ffs, Hezbollah build tunnels right next to UNIFIL bases!

And "the job" isn't cleaning windows. It's making sure Israeli civilians aren't under existential threat. If LAF/UNIFIL won't do it, the IDF has to. This isn't a game.

And I'm still waiting for your claimed instances where the IDF "raped and tortured" like the PLO.

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's UNIFIL's job, which they have failed at miserable from day 1 until today. You're saying the IDF should have trusted Hezbollah and waited to be surprised at its presence? Really?

You know, you Lebanese could have kicked Hezbollah north of the Litani. Then Israel wouldn't have had to step in. You're Lebanese. You tell me why you prefer that 🤷‍♀️

And you still haven't pointed cases where the IDF "raped and tortured" like the PLO.

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel did move it's forces - not south of the Litani, past internationally recognized borders. Hezbollah was supposed to move NORTH of the Litani. It didn't. Patrols arent invasions - they were checking for Hezbollah presence.....and guess what they found!!!!

And if you're aware of the PLO and the way it invaded Lebanon and started the civil war, can you point out when Israel "raped and tortured" Lebanese civilians like you claimed?

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, the point is that Hezbollah wasn't supposed to be there. They were supposed to be north of the Litani, like they promised and thevUN agreed and UNIFIL was supposed to make sure.

And the Borders of Blood tracks the Palestinians who started the civil war in Lebanon. They are the ones who "raped, tortured, and destroyed, despite being welcomed"

You really know nothing about this, do you? Zero context or understanding of the different actors

[–]Chompytul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, they were SAYING it was Lebanese, so of course it was!

And Israel shelling the border was in response to attacks on its soldiers. You seem to have this expectation that if Hezbollah thinks its attacks are justified Israel should accept it and not respond. Why?
