  • No, you’re still bying their “self defense” narrative.

    They’re invading Lebanon for the same reason invasions ever happen: in order to own or at least control land that belongs to another country.

    There’s exactly one way that they could be safe from attacks from Lebanon: by stopping the occupation of and slaughter in Palestine.

    More than half the population of Lebanon are Palestinians driven from their homes by Israel two generations back at most, and that’s what created Hezbollah.

    Not Iran. Not antisemitism. Not spontaneous evil.

    Hezbollah was caused by the same thing as most radical paramilitary groups: desperation and fury in the face of seemingly untouchable tormentors.

    I’m not saying that they’d immediately disband the moment the occupation and genocide end, but it sure as hell would make the radicalization needed for recruitment harder to accomplish, especially as time goes on with no fresh atrocities.


  • A failure of Israel’s defensive weapons would require them to go on the offensive.

    According to themselves, a day ending in y would require them to go on the offensive.

    This is all a conflict of choice for them and the US and, if damage to the dome has any effect on them (which it probably won’t, since they’re so far gone down the colonialism genocide spiral), it would be to make them more cautious due to their own people being more vulnerable to consequences of their state terrorism.
