Just a reminder that to be a Zionist means that you believe Jews have the right to their own state and homeland. It’s not that controversial to be Zionist. If you think Jews should never be allowed to have their own state then maybe that says more about you than them
@AdameMedia
This was a deal Israel has offered Palestinians many times and each time it was rejected by Palestinian leaders. Iran doesn’t want a free Palestine it can’t manipulate and control anymore so they keep lining the pockets of Palestinian leaders to prolong the wars and suffering
@PhilipProudfoot
Lebanon is cheering on Israel praying it frees it from its Iranian occupation through Hezbollah that have brought it nothing but war, economic disaster and political assassinations
@AssalRad
That boy was murdered by PLO crossfire as they had untrained idiots having a shootout with IDF snipers. The bullet holes in the walls were all a match to the weapons the PLO were using at the time and the video clearly is edited. Also the French journalist who took the video

@RubinReport
The “new” charter was widely understood to be just for show to try look more moderate on the world stage and get Israeli concessions. Since then they have proven very emphatically through their actions very clearly who and what Hamas really still are.
@afalkhatib
Because Hezbollah only control some of Lebanon directly and have little support in Lebanon and most of Lebanon quietly want them gone. Whilst Hamas control every facet of society in Gaza and rely on hand written communications between leadership
@PhilipProudfoot
So democratic that Hezbollah assassinate anyone they don’t agree with and control who can run and who can’t…
Israel is actually the most democratic country in the Middle East
@hahussain
Is she actually saying all Israelis are white and white people aren’t allowed in Middle East because the Arabs colonised it? She ignores the 2m Israeli Arabs. She ignores the millions of mizrhai Israelis who fled pogroms throughout the ME. She has completely ignored facts here
@mohammed_hijab
Tell me you know nothing about Lebanon history without telling me you know nothing…. Iran, through Hezbollah has conquered and completely decimated freedoms, democracy and economic prosperity in what used to be a great free happy country.
@AviMayer
If there is any kind of anti-Hezbollah movement left in Lebanon, however small, now is the time for them to act with the West’s support to finally once and for all rid Lebanon of this cancer that has been draining it of life and prosperity for decades
@gimmebackmyeden
@BenGoldsmith
The irony is that Iran has colonised Lebanon via Hezbollah, Yemen via Houthis and Palestine via Hamas. They are cheering on the Iranian colonisers
@jconricus
@FoxNews
Hezbollah could give 2 sh*ts about Lebanon. They conquered Lebanon years ago at the behest of Iran and have drained it of any hope of peace or prosperity since. Iran use the people of Lebanon as canon fodder for the wars they start without risking any Iranian lives.
@ZAINABALI_72
That’s because Hezbollah occupy and control Lebanon when Iran conquered it years ago. Believe me most of Lebanon knows full well the removal of Hezbollah will be celebrated by many as the first step to rebuilding a once great country
@jconricus
They are probably more concerned about losing their influence and control of Lebanon now. Israel isn’t a priority anymore. They will be panicking that Lebanon could liberate themselves once and from all from Iranian occupation

@RubinReport
In 2005 Israel lifted the occupation, closed all settlements and “ethnically cleansed” Gaza of all Jews with the hope Gaza would embrace a new future of prosperity. Instead Hamas violently took over declaring jihad on Jews. You care about Gaza? Then pray they are freed from Hamas
@UKinJerusalem
Media freedoms and Al Jazeera should not be used in the same post. They are the political mouthpiece of the Qatari rulers. There is nothing free about it. In the same way “Russia Today” is banned across most the west, so should this
@Swiftor
@AssalRad
@johncusack
reminder that Israel pulled all its settlements out of Gaza 18 years ago lifted the occupation from Gaza. They had an accord set up with fatah for freedom of movement which 1 yr later Hamas tore up and brutally took over leaving Israel with no choice but to secure its borders
@OzKaterji
Is it not more about “how do we stop a Lebanese uprising against us?” Is their primary concern now not more about surviving in Lebanon before worrying about Israeli revenge?
@freemonotheist
Ironic considering Iran are the true colonisers of the region using their proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis to conquer and wage war without sacrificing a single Iranian life. And you are all falling for it
@EYakoby
@PawsNeedClaws
It really isn’t that complicated. Evil
Prevails when the good do nothing. Appeasement and niceties didn’t work with hitler and it hasn’t worked with Iran. The world has tolerated and indulged Iran stoking war and suffering across the Middle East for too long
@Byoussef
That’s literally the description of the history of Arabs in the levant for the last century. Israel on the other hand has returned the Sinai in return for peace (and got it). Returned Gaza in return for peace and got Hamas genocidal terrorists. Returned S Lebanon from occupation
@Caucasuswar
@zerohedge
So what were the 10k Hezbollah rockets raining down on Israeli civilians for the last yr? A friendly hug from neighbours? This was already a war long ago when Hezbollah started firing rockets
@SpencerGuard
To the hamsniks everything is a war crime except acts by Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis…
Prof Balloux, is this war crime in the room with us now?
@rogerwaters
Good old fashioned atrocity denial. When something doesn’t fit your racist narrative the alternative is just too darn appealing isn’t it. Hamas must be gutted they went to the trouble of proudly live streaming their horrors and you still won’t believe them!
@georgegalloway
Lebanon is not united in any way. In fact much of Lebanon is celebrating the demise of Hezbollah, an organisation that has led to political assassinations, wars, economic collapse and medicine shortages for the last 30 yrs.
@BBCWorld
Nasrallah will be pleased with this headline. Doing terrorists bidding again I see Bowen… certainly seems much less “well armed” than it was a week ago!
@hahussain
The problem is their approach of inciting wars and violence seems to be working. The US’s support is already showing signs of cracking. They, like Putin know the west has an incredibly short attention span and very short tolerance for long drawn out conflicts unfortunately
@MosabHasanYOSEF
He knew he was sacrificing thousands of innocent women children and Gazan civilians just to try and have a few hundred criminals like himself released.
@OzKaterji
The state of comments on this post are deeply disappointing. People have completely forgotten what a terrorist or terrorist organisation is. They seem to believe you can hug and smile at terrorists until they stop trying to kill and destroy everything around them
@GBNewsSpin
If calling Hamas terrorists as our government do agitates… doesn’t that worry you? If someone is being agitated by that fact shouldn’t we be more concerned with that? Is it not possible he was highlighting what we already knew, what many of these protestors believe deep down
In 2022 Irish U.N. Peacekeeper Private Sean Rooney was murdered by Hezbollah after his convoy took a wrong turn on the way to Beirut and yet here we are today with Irish leaders and many of the public openly cheering on and supporting Hezbollah. Shameful…

was quick to comment how “awful” it was. When 12 kids playing football die due to Iran controlled Hezbollah rockets aimed at civilians he is silent
@mehdirhasan
@piersmorgan
You can’t possibly say this and claim to be a rational independent journalist. You have completely ignored context. Ignored who started firing rockets (which matters!!) and ignored who has been breaking the ceasefire UN resolution 1701 consistently for the last 20 years
@KayBurley
As a journalist you should have known the Iranian consulate wasn’t destroyed but a building next to it which was holding military generals and leaders who orchestrated the oct7 atrocities as per Iran’s admission. The false equivalence on show is eye watering and journalists
@TruRedTV
@piersmorgan
That org is labelled a terrorist organisation in most of the world. Even Pakistan!! What Uk did today is years overdue and piers had nothing to do with it
@AGHamilton29
Hamas’s tentacles have gotten even deeper into the fabric of Gazan society than we feared. It’s not that hostages were kept in tunnels under homes anymore but that students, doctors and every part of civilian society were complying with Hamas and holding the hostages for them in
@Kahlissee
Yes brave “resistance” dragging naked girls through the streets… if this is your idea of acceptable resistance then that says more about you than anything else
Why are Gaza and Palestinian people not in the top ten list? Why isn't anyone protesting about the people in Sudan, Syria, etc.? Why isn't the media showing footage of them?
As of today, the places with the highest numbers of displaced people (IDPs) due to war and violence are as
@itshasanw
@Imamofpeace
Think the militant to civilian ratio here is likely significantly better than any military action taken against a terrorists in the history of urban warfare. Would you have preferred bombing campaigns? Is there a better you would accept as the “right way” to fight genocidal Iran
@thesiriusreport
You mean exactly what Israel has offered the Palestinians many times before but they just kept saying no to? Iran doesn’t want an independent free and prosperous Palestine that it can no longer control and use as canon fodder for its wars. Until you free Palestine from Iran you

@AdamAlbilya_
Is this a story from The Onion?
Whats next? Sinwar wins Jihadi of the year for putting Hamas back on the map and making Isis jealous?
@AGHamilton29
Of all the tripe I’ve seen on this app. The ease with which Hamas convinced a large proportion of users here that hostages were happy and liked their captors was the most shocking and enraging. It seems humans are capable of significantly more stupidity than I had assumed
@GoodwinMJ
I would rather the question said Israel or hamas. Israel are not at war with Palestine but with hamas. Destroying hamas will be the necessary start for peace and prosperity for both Palestinians and Israelis.
@drsaqibqureshi
@baum_p
If you’re right then how come Israel keeps returning land in exchange for peace? Sinai… south lebanon, Gaza… and how come 2m Muslims live happily in Israel? Facts are annoying aren’t they but hey just keep posting watermelons and pedalling Hamas lies instead… much easier

When Hamas releases the hostages and demilitarises and decides to finally pursue peace. Although that is clearly an AI photo unless that lady’s right hand is made out of 2 hands and left hand has 6 knuckles
@AssalRad
“Press”… “journalists”… come on that’s a stretch!!
They are Qatar’s mouthpiece. They pedal whatever lies Qatar wants them to on a daily basis. They fan the flames of hatred,war and violence as much as they can and are worsening this conflict
@Decire_Veritate
With a population growth of 4% that means Gaza’s population has grown by an estimated 44k since start of the war… so Gaza’s population is rising during alleged cleansing and alleged genocide
@hahussain
Any Middle East comprehensive solution has to come from within. At some point Arab nations and leaders need to take ownership of wanting a better life for their people instead of pursuing or accepting violence as a common basis for political progress.

No the only solution is a 2 state solution with a demilitarised Palestine with UN/Saudi/Egyptian policing. A massive regeneration and construction plan funded by US / Israel and Arab nations for schools hospitals and jobs for Palestinians and zero tolerance for extremism

I remember thinking on October 7th.. well at least now the world knows who Israel has been dealing with and they will finally understand… that feeling lasted about half a day

Jews are allowed a voice too. They are allowed to mourn too. Talking about and sharing the stories of the horrors of oct7 isn’t to detract from the pain others feel.

What are the chances the UN actually does anything though? After 1701 they just sat idly by and watched Hezbollah break every agreement that they were supposed to enforce?

Atrocity denial. One of lowest forms of rationalisation that racists use to justify their views… reserved for the truly vile in our society
@ACTBrigitte
@AdeleIsla
Maybe if Israel gave Iran a gentle hug that might work? The US’s entire foreign policy approach to Iran and Hezbollah has been one of attempted appeasement, tolerance and hope.

I’m always open to hearing different opinions to better educate myself. Please do the same and have a read of a book written by the son of one of the co-founders of Hamas. It’s fascinating and reveals the real inner workings of the organisation. Written by

@GaryLineker
We all agree it’s sad. So much pain and suffering and for what? Pointless wars started and continued by Hamas who have neglected its children and used them as shields. Hamas can end this suffering whenever they want. But they choose not to

Many despise them but my Lebanese friends say they think Hezbollah is so heavily ingrained into Lebanese society and there is no credible opposition with any strength that they see very little hope of Hezbollah being removed from
Lebanon anytime soon. However if the US, France
@AkaLazarus
This will likely be the trigger for a significant escalation in Lebanon. I hope the US has the courage to join the fight this time as its ally which has been under rocket fire for 9 months
@OzKaterji
I just hate the moral equivalence everyone online and in the press uses between Hamas intentionally butchering civilians and the IDF trying to take out an impossible enemy who use human shields. I know for the families it’s the same pain but context has to matter for the rest

This thread proves his point that antisemitism seems to be the only unacceptable form of racism. No other minority group drawing attention to terrifying rise of racism against their community would be met with this much hysteria

Let me guess. You saw that on TikTok?
If that was true how come Arabs and Christian’s can vote in Israel, and Arabs have served in the Knesset since the first formation of the Knesset. How come an Arab judge sent a Jewish PM and President to jail?? Is there a single Muslim
@EylonALevy
The UN and World leaders had a chance to act when Hezbollah broke the agreement of UN resolution 1701 immediately after signing it. The UN were there but like so many times in history they just stood idly by and allowed Hezbollah to re-arm and turn southern Lebanon into to a
@simonmontefiore
They say the first sign of madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome? 75 yrs of terrorism has only brought Palestinians further from their own state and freedom and further into Irans control
This weak Lancet article going around does not address key issue: it's not casualty count that's inflated but number of civilians, particularly women & children. Israel has actually said total is reasonably accurate but includes ~7,000 Hamas killed in latest announcement.
