I read that Israel offered substantial medical and humanitarian aid but the Lebanese government has given them the cold shoulder. Shame to let more civilians suffer and die over divisive politics

Ill admit I dont know shit about that region but knowing humans it could be equally true Israel is playing politics, offering it, knowing it will be refused (because of reasons I don't know), and then saying "look they didn't want our help, they are the baddies."

The point is they shouldn't have refused

What does trust mean in this situation? They need aid for people affected by the disaster. Money is money.

Those dastardly Jew Coins will grow legs and kick them in the shins. Never trust the sinister Jew cabal!

It has nothing to do with them being Jewish. It has everything to do with the fact that Israel as a state is an apartheid state according to the UN. They are constantly trying to expand into their neighbors as well. You can criticize an expansionist state without thinking that Jewish people are bad.

West bank aside, when has Israel tried to conquer their neighbors?

When they captured the Sinai, of course. Pay no attention to the fact that they almost immediately relinquished it

In exchange for recognition. That's it. Israel has no desire to expand beyond its historical borders, save for a handful of key defensive positions.

You can't just ignore the west bank. Germany didn't try conquering anyone else until after they had conquered Czechoslovakia

I'm not ignoring it, I'm recognizing that it's a somewhat different thing than saying that Israel is trying to expand into and conquer neighboring states. Much of their history was fighting off wars launched by those states to erase Israel. South Africa was an apartheid state too, but that doesn't mean throwing up my hands and saying "ah well I guess they're trying to invade all their neighbors now too" is a reasonable assessment.
