@atalayha @steve_hanke A very good question.

@steve_hanke As far as I remember, there were UN forces in this region. What happened to them? Why do they exist?

In an attempt to ANNEX southern Lebanon, Israel is now setting up fortifications & creating a so-called “buffer zone” between Israel & Lebanon. Israel is already ILLEGALLY occupying about 8% of Lebanon’s territory.

@ColinWr29337470 @hahussain In 2006 Hezbollah commenced the hostilities when it ambushed an IDF patrol on the Israel side of the border fence. Two dead soldiers' bodies were taken back to Lebanon to be later used as bagaining chips to free Hezbollah prisiners taken in the war.

@hahussain Both of your statements are false. In 2006, and again in 2024, Israel repeatedly attacked Hezbollah, eventually prompting retaliation.

Johns Hopkins professor is clueless. Israel already withdrew from Lebanon in 2000 and UN certified it was in compliance with UNSC Resolution 425. Lebanon never disarmed Hezbollah since, has launched war on Israel twice, in 2006 and 2024. Lebanon, not Israel, is in violation of UNSC resolutions 1559, 1701 for the disarmament of Hezbollah. Israel is not in violation of any UN resolution on Lebanon, is constructing a buffer zone in self defense. Whenever Lebanon enforces Security Council resolutions, Lebanon can get its territory back. Until then, Israel is withing its right to defend its territory and citizens, with a buffer zone or without one.

@CigogneEveillee @hahussain Has nothing to do with Lebanon. 242 dealt with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The first two have peace treaties with Israel. Syria is undergoing political changes which may lead to progress in relations between it and Israel.

@hahussain What about U.N. Security Council Resolution 242?

@Nameless_Weevil @Nadav_Eyal Your mother is getting nervous because she's losing clients...

@Nadav_Eyal Israelis getting nervous about the prospect of US soldiers getting killed in large numbers on camera for Greater Israel and so suggesting, once again, Gaza style total war tactics but on a power who can respond in kind but not in a way Americans notice immediately. Desperation.

Exclusive - Israeli security officials: The option of seizing islands in Iran (Kharg or others) or the Strait of Hormuz is “complex and fraught with danger,” and would likely trigger “massive Iranian attacks on energy infrastructure, the laying of mines, and, in any case, a severe escalation.” Their recommendation, as conveyed to decision-makers: if Iran refuses an agreement- and in any case escalates attacks on regional energy- the allies should threaten (and, if necessary, carry out) strikes causing extensive damage to Iran’s energy infrastructure, and not immediately execute a ground operation.

@pious__athiest @Nadav_Eyal Take your meds and fuck off.

@Nadav_Eyal israel, the country of cowards, rapist, murderers, and satanists. if your war was righteous you would fight it like real men. send your 400,000 reservists to iran to die, we urge you.

@Nadav_Eyal @BillKristol If you want to be effective, blockade the Persian Gulf, thereby causing Iran to choke on its oil. If we can't use it neither can you.

@eytanhalon @SidselWold I'm shocked that you're shocked...

Shocking to see that Norwegian public broadcaster NRK's Middle East reporter @SidselWold proudly joined a Hezbollah press tour in Lebanon yesterday. Yes - arranged by the Iranian terror proxy currently firing rockets indiscriminately at Israeli cities and murdering civilians.

@quantum_shadow_ @JonahPlatt My God you are insufferably ignorant and malicious. Find a rock under which you can hide.

@MartinFlax2 @JonahPlatt "Everyone loves dead Jews" You're not a fucking victim and no one falls for your dumb ass talking points and guilt trips. The Holocaust was 80 years ago. You're now the ones mass murdering Palestinians and Lebanese so shut the fuck up and reflect on that.

And now the comments to THIS post about the comments to the previous post, continue to prove the point over and over. 😆 Non-Jews continue to assume that their low information propaganda-only, bigoted, libel-based, bought and paid for understanding of Jews and Israel is more valid than that of Jews themselves. When people wonder how Nazi Germany happened, how an entire society of “good people” were all too eager to believe lies from media, academia, about Jews- it looked like this. This is how it happened.

@quantum_shadow_ @JonahPlatt They weren't weak. They lacked the means of defense and were forced to rely upon the goodwill of others. We have rectified that situation. That's what bothers you. How does it go? Everyone loves dead Jews...Fuck that.

@MartinFlax2 @JonahPlatt You ziocunts truly are despicable aren't you? You demean Holocaust victims and survivors by making them sound weak in comparison to you fucking genocidal freaks. *This* is the true anti-semitism, not those who want you to get the fuck out of Palestine.

@nuf_is @JonahPlatt Here in Israel we don't do the "woe is me" thing. People who are intent on killing us usually end up in body bags. Repeat after me; "All the nice Jews went up the chimneys". We're what's left.

@JonahPlatt Shut the fuck up sniveling Zionist bitch, your days of woe is me are over. Here's a simple explanation that maybe a depraved forever victim cultist like you can understand, you're not more equal than others, in fact you're lesser than. You're welcome.

@quantum_shadow_ @JonahPlatt Fuck you. We will stay exactly where we are. We are not leaving. When people come to kill us they regret it. Repeat after me; "All the nice Jews went up the chimneys." We're what's left.

@JonahPlatt If you want your "Jewish voices" to be respected and validated, get the fuck out of Palestine and go back to Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. Anything short of that is just an excuse for Zionism and the rest of the world has no tolerance left for Zionists.

@usegal @talschneider "קומץ מכמה מאות אנשים". עד לאחרונה טענו שמדובר ב"כ-70 נערים מופרעים שהגיעו ממשפחות הרוסות" בלה בלה בלה. ואם אכן מדובר ב"קומץ אנשים" מדוע המתנחלים "הנורמליים" אינם נוקטים צעדים חברתיים, כלכליים ודתיים נגדם?

הנזק המדיני, התדמיתי המהותי והמוסרי מעמיק. שגריר ישראל בארה"ב שואל איפה כולם? התשובה לצערי העמוק היא בערוץ התגעלה והתעמולה. אמש הם בראשות ינון מגל לעגו למוסריות הזו ולי. לקבל שיעור במוסר ממנו? על כל עניני רדיפת הבצע, נשים והגזענות? הנה התשובה. שוב.

@ShabanaMir1 @kbalian90 @tsweden He is not. He lives on Kibbutz Lavie in the Galilee.

@kbalian90 @tsweden He’s a West Bank settler so why is he surprised?

BREAKING: Rabbi Yehuda Gilad, head of Yeshivat Ma’ale Gilboa, visited Khirbet Humsa in the West Bank following a settler pogrom in which a 29-year-old Palestinian farmer was sexually assaulted, his family was beaten, and hundreds of his sheep were stolen. Below is his full statement, translated from Hebrew: Letter from the Head of the Yeshiva, Rabbi Yehuda Gilad With God’s help, Rosh Chodesh Nisan — “a time of atonement for all their generations” Yesterday I went through a very difficult and deeply disturbing experience. I visited Khirbet Humsa (about a 30-minute drive from our yeshiva), where a pogrom carried out by hilltop youth took place about a week ago. I heard the details of what happened there from several sources, including Ruti — a woman I have known for years and trust completely. It turns out that in the early hours of the night, a group of rioters (around 30–40 people) arrived, equipped with sticks and many zip ties. They bound the men (and apparently also two foreign volunteers, though I am not certain of this), and then beat them all over their bodies with fists and clubs. We saw many remnants of the zip ties on the ground. The men required treatment at the hospital in Afula for injuries of varying severity. At the same time, the attackers stole the entire herd — about 300 head — belonging to the few families living there, under unimaginable conditions of poverty. At first, I heard that there had also been sexual violence, and I did not believe it… Yesterday we arrived at the site with Ruti, a friend of mine who is well known to them. When they saw us — Rabbi Avidan Friedman and myself — they visibly recoiled in terror and anxiously pointed to the kippot on our heads. Ruti tried to calm them, explaining that we were not among the attackers. Even so, at the beginning of the meeting, they were hesitant and afraid. I heard directly from a young man — a firsthand witness — what had happened there. From his face, the blue bruise in his eye, and his sorrowful expression, it was clear he was telling the truth. In that same conversation (with the help of a translator), he described in detail the prolonged abuse they endured while bound. Then, with deep shame, he told us something I had previously found impossible to believe. I find it difficult — my hands tremble as I write this about Jews — and yet I will write it, because I am convinced it indeed happened. Yes, these wicked individuals bound his genitals in an extremely painful way — not to mention the humiliation involved. These events recall the pogroms our ancestors endured in various diasporas. Have we become like the worst of the nations? I want to turn to the question: what should be done? But I feel that I am still at the stage of crying out. Alas — what has become of us!

@Herewar66545077 @MairavZ Said literally by people who lacked the means for their own defense.

@MairavZ "A shlekhter sholem iz beser vi a guter krig..."

The thing about war is that even if you get a bad agreement or no agreement, or even a worse agreement than before the war- it’s still often better than continued war.

@NuraSltn @CrypticaLogic @MOSSADil @grok Amazing! Until October 7, 2023 Gaza was an "open air prison". Now, it was once the most beautiful place in the world...

@CrypticaLogic @MOSSADil @grok

🚨 EXPOSED: U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib has reportedly been a member for over six years of a private Facebook group where participants shared posts praising Hamas and justifying the Oct. 7 massacre, according to investigative reporting. The hidden group, “Palestinian American Congress,” allegedly included content glorifying the attackers and denying or minimizing violence against Israeli civilians, raising new scrutiny over political associations and online networks tied to extremist narratives. Developing story as reactions grow in Washington. Stay updated—follow @MOSSADil and subscribe.

@LizHurra @marcowenjones It's John Stewart, the original "as a Jew" Jew.

@marcowenjones It's surreal anyone is letting on Obama and Biden people on air to talk about foreign policy.

Jake Sullivan reminds us that a chaotic, fractured Iran is safer for Israel, and likely their war aim youtu.be/G3uGYpPJEGM?si…

@clothedw_thesun @LizHurra Try...

@LizHurra You are a settler, every Israeli is a settler. Every Israeli will leave Palestine and you will return to jail.

VP Vance lashed out at Netanyahu for not curbing settler terrorism in the West Bank. He pressed Netanyahu to resume the use of administrative detention against settlers. In 11.2024 Minister of Defense Katz halted its use against Jews, while maintaining its use for thousands of Palestinians israelhayom.co.il/news/geopoliti…

Pulitzer Prize laureate and war crimes enthusiast Glenn Greenwald tells an Orthodox Jewish man to enjoy watching videos of Israeli cities being pummeled by Iranian missiles after crawling out of his "Sabbath hole."

@Burgess7281975 @McCormickProf I believe what I see, unencumbered by the need for apolagetics. I might be tempted to say that the Second Vatican Council and Pope John Paul II clarified the meaning of the various ecclesiastical events which uou mentioned.

So you believe the Second Vatical Council and Pope John Paul II are in a hermeneutic of rupture with Scripture, the Council of Jerusalem, the Council of Florence, and the Fourth Lateran Councils, inter alia, in addition to being in conflict with roughly 19 Centuries of Sacred Tradition? These presumptions work both ways.

Speaking to the Jewish community in Rome, Pope John Paul II made crystal clear the teaching of the Catholic Church on 1) the brotherhood of Jews and Christians; 2) the sinfulness of anti-Jewish hatred and prejudice; and 3) the irrevocability of God's covenant with the Jewish people: "The Jewish religion is not 'extrinsic' to us, but in a certain way is 'intrinsic' to our own religion. With Judaism therefore we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers and, in a certain way, you are our elder brothers. On the basis of this brotherhood renewed by Christ, the Church rejects every form of discrimination and anti-Semitism. She condemns them as contrary to the very spirit of Christianity. She deplores all hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone.... The covenant between God and the Jewish people has never been revoked. 'The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable' (Rom 11:29).
