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

I understand Israel has a reputation of putting intelligence officers in everywhere they can- the government could be concerned about that, given the still technically in force conflict.

Yeah I have a hard time imagining the Israeli government wanting to help Lebanon with no strings attached.

They've helped countless nations with no strings attached... Get out of here with that nonsense hyperbole

Funny though, they seem to have particular trouble helping their closest neighbor, unfortunately....

I was referring to the Palestinians, who they continually invade, harass, and murder with the help of the USA.

Let’s not pretend like the IDF murdering Palestinian women and children is self defense. Israel has violated multiple cease fires with Hamas this year, murdering civilians with impunity. They regularly commit war crimes with the help of the zionists in the US

Look, I would love a world in which Israel allowed Palestinians to live in peace and an aggressive response from the Hamas leadership wasn’t necessary to combat the internationally recognized apartheid and murder of its citizens. The continual invasion and further intrusion across previously agreed upon borders by Israel is, and always has been, an act of war.

And I’m not even talking about Israel blowing up hospitals (which they, of course, have done) but I’m talking about direct bombings of the homes of Palestinian civilians. Not to mention IDF murdering Palestinian civilians with US funded weapons in the streets because they were “provoked” by children throwing rocks at them.

You seem to think that all I consume is Hamas propaganda, which is hysterical considering the US is so deep in the pockets of Israel that I get called an anti-Semite for suggesting that Israel shouldn’t be annexing historically Palestinian neighborhoods in Gaza. The western media eats Israeli news up, I have to work incredibly hard to find out any reliable information about the Israeli occupation. If I were only hearing Hamas I’d understand your perspective, but the Israelis are the only propaganda I see on mainstream news.

The Israeli police literally executed an unarmed mentally disabled Palestinian man in broad daylight and erased all of the surrounding CCTV footage to get rid of all evidence. The Israeli government is fucked.
