‘As if we don’t exist’: Under bombs in Lebanon, Americans feel abandoned

Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

No, I meant Ukraine. If Russia was disarmed, Ukraine and probably every other nation as well would just leave them alone. If Israel was disarmed, its enemies would murder every single jew in there.

That's why comparison to Ukraine is more accurate.

No, you definitely meant Russia. Aggressive fascist state invading their neighbours and murdering civilians, just like Israel.

You don't get to blame just one side for murdering civilians when both sides are doing it. You're being dishonest. The only reason there aren’t more dead Israeli civilians is because of their world-class air defense systems and their enemy's lack of military capacity.

I’d be really curious to hear what you imagine would happen to the Israeli population if we removed their ability to defend themselves and why it wouldn't be october 7th times a million?

No, it is definitely aggressors fault. Both Russia and Israel should fuck off back into their INTERNATIONALLY recognised borders.

This isn't about whose fault it was. Killing civilians is equally bad, no matter whose the aggressor and they're both doing it. You can't use that as an argument against Israel.

No, it is definitely aggressors fault. Palestinians and Lebanese have right to defend themselves, just like Polish Home Army did during 2WW. If the aggressor fuck off back, civilians will stop dying.

You really don't seem to want to answer this question. I wonder why that is.

Israel is an occupying force. 7th Oct would never have happened if Israel had not been commiting genocide and has not been occupying Palestine in the first place.

This is like arguing that Third Reich may suffer if it withdraws from land it occupied and/or Wehrmacht is disarmed.

You're the one who suggested disarming them. Now I'm asking what do you think is going to happen next.

You don't want to answer. We both know why.

They should be disarmed just like a criminal thug on the street should be disarmed to stop threaten other people. Israel should then allow all the Palestinians and their descendants to return. It should be forced to rebuild Palestine, Lebanon and pay reparations to all the people who suffered as the consequences of their actions, just like Nazi Germany was forced to.

What do you imagine would happen to the Israeli population if we disarmed them, i.e. removed their ability to defend themselves?

Just answer the question.

The same what happened to nazi Germany.

They will also have to stop murdering their neighbours. Shocking, I know.

Oh, is that so? Well let me introduce you to two common chants we've been hearing lately which you are familiar with.

"From river to the sea"

"God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

This isn't about territory. This is about anti-semitism. It's not Israel that's the problem to these extremists, it's the jews.

A genocide is what would happen. A real genocide.

They would certainly remove the settlers back to internationally recognized Israeli borders, but no there's no evidence for your statement except Israeli lies about Palestinian slogans.
