Israel advertising potential settlements in Lebanon

This is what will start WW3.

Israel will be to blame.

Is this confirmed real?

Yeah, I get that there are extremists in Israel, especially the settler community, but this has a whiff of bullshit.

Doesn't seem like bullshit to me. Do you know how extreme Israel's government is right now?

Israel deserves reparations.

They’re definitely planning on it. Psychopaths.

[quote] On September 25, 2024, the newspaper published an article titled "Is Lebanon part of Israel's promised territory?" which sparked controversy online, particularly amid ongoing Israeli air strikes in Lebanon.

It's not Israel per se. Just a bunch of extremists, including a nutty Rabbi.

Decolonise America

Send Cynthia Nixon back to Ireland

Ya R7 it’s not like they have a history of doing anything like that before.

r6, that article, or now retracted article, is clearly just some bullshit speculation and not some official policy of anybody.

R9 Israel does not actually have a history of doing anything like that before.

Pls name a time when Israel instigated a war for territorial gains to expand settlements.

R10 it’s one of their major media outlets. If the Washington post published an article suggesting the US should annex Mexico you can be sure that there would be international fallout. And they wouldn’t publish anything like that unless there was a societal basis behind the idea.

R11 don’t be stupid out loud baby.

No, r12, if some doofus wrote some nonsense about how it would be fun to seize Mexico nobody would give a shit, and rightfully so. Hey, did you know we tried to seize Quebec in the Revolutionary War, yup Benedict Arnold (that guy!) went up with troops to take it. I could write some silly thing about our "claim" on Quebec and it would be exactly as official as this article.

R14 they woudn’t have published it if there wasn’t the public appetite for it.

[Quote] It's not Israel per se. Just a bunch of extremists,

So, Israel.

[Quote] if some doofus wrote some nonsense about how it would be fun to seize Mexico nobody would give a shit, and rightfully so.

If we had just bombed the shit out of Mexico, and had invaded Mexico three times in the last 40 years, people might give something more of a shit though.

Aaaaaaand they’ve just invaded Lebanon. Jesus what is wrong with them.

Go get those terrorists, Israel! You rightfully have carte blanche to root them out wherever they may be.

Israel is out of control. They better worry about their future because Millennials and Zoomers will soon be in charge and the minute that happens the welfare checks stop. Bibi would be the worst thing to ever happen to the country. He should be sharing a jail cell next to Trump.

^ I really hope so. Perhaps then they'll show some restraint.

This is the perfect time for them to pull this shit because they know that Trump won't stop them, and Kamala can't do anything before the election.

I hope President Biden cuts off all of their aid for the next four months while he is President.

They must be stopped.

How dare Israel defend itself and neutralize terrorists!!

R3 It probably is. This is the October Surprise y'all been waiting for. Did y'all really think Bibi wasn't going to try and help Trump out?

R23, give it a rest. All they have to do is declare their aggression “anti-terrorism” and they can rampage around doing whatever they want? No.

They bootstrap their own aggression. They invaded Lebanon repeatedly, eventually an extremist resistance movement formed (surprise surprise), and now everything is justified “because terrorism.”

If a man beats his wife every night, she eventually pulls a knife on him, and he kills her for it, the murder isn’t justified “because she got violent.”

R25, are you comparing Hamas and Hezbollah to an abused wife who kills her husband?

Seriously?

R26 There are people in this very thread trying to make the IDF blowing thousands of children to pieces sound like nothing, and that's what you're outraged at?
