I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break. Then I spent some time on kbin/mbin/fedia, but I’ll be staying here.

Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].

  • Right now it’s just some tough talk from both sides

    How do you know that? The Zionist settler colonialist side has been doing Genocide for the past 8-9 months, this is not as you say

    Just another day in the Middle East.

    And like Hitler, Netanyahu is unable to stop. And unlike Hitler he is not fighting and loosing battles. When Hitler started loosing in the front, part of his entourage tried to talk him out of it, without success. This is why, there was even an attempt to kill him from inside the Nazi party.

    Netanyahu on the other hand, is not loosing battles since he is just bombing and starving people, while being supported in all possible ways by the US and most of the west. Why should he stop now? The Zionist plan of eliminating or displacing all Palestinians is working fine so far.

    Netanyahu is so pumped up he could easily invade Lebanon. Also Israel has attacked Lebanon twice and got defeated twice in a humiliating way. Last time was in 2006, meaning not that long ago. This is why Netanyahu has such a beef with Hezbollah. I’m afraid that Netanyahu has been given so much support and leverage from the West, he’s about to start an actual war with Lebanon.







  • Why, exactly, do you think that the country Cyprus is responsible for RAF Akrotiri?

    Decolonization processes are difficult. For Cyprus this process started in 1959, if I remember correctly. Within these processes having governments that are in favor of western imperialism does not help towards the ousting western military bases. I’m not saying no genuine effort too place during all these decades. Also, many people have been out on the streets for this, but among Cypriots in reality there is no consensus on the matter since many want to keep all ties with the UK.







  • why Hezbollah would view Cyprus as a target

    • Actually, according to Reuters “Nasrallah also threatened Cyprus - the EU member state in closest proximity to Lebanon, with which it has cordial relations - accusing it of allowing Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises.”

    • In the threat local airports were mentioned, not only military bases

    • If you take a look at the wiki page of RAF Akrotiri they talk about several incidents in support of Israel, starting in the 1970’s. For incidents that specifically involved Lebanon, the answer would be in the sections: 2000s–2010s and Controversies.

    • It could also be hint for other military bases in area, willing to have similar approach






  • And there’s been no hints for participating any further

    They have US military bases there and that’s why Lebanon made that threat, and more specifically Nasrallah said:

    “The Cypriot government must be warned that opening Cypriot airports and bases for the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon means that the Cypriot government has become part of the war and the resistance (Hezbollah) will deal with it as part of the war” [source]

    Also you said:

    Imagine yelling at someone who’s only ever done positive things for your people.

    I’m sorry but this example is irrelevant. The threat does not come from Palestine, it comes from Lebanon.
