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

    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.

    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. 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.
