That is true, that does not make them not also terrorists, which previous operations either targeting or having obvious disregard for the wellbeing of civilians would qualify them for. Israel was also founded by terrorists (and continues to be ruled by them obviously). My point is just that we should probably not take a belligerent of war at face value when they say the other side started it.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t terrorists, especially given the Lebanese government has been trying to get rid of them to no avail because, like you said, one wing has substantial power. Hell, half of Israel’s government got into power based on ideology that thier neighbours would always invade and try to get rid of them and therefore they should become fascists, that doesn’t make them not terrorists either. If they wanted to actually help Lebanon and its people instead of furthering their own and Iran’s goals, they could fucking work with the Lebanese army.

It is worth pointing out that that is literally the statement from a terrorist organisation who is currently fighting against Israel. Not to say Israel is better, but probably worth a bit more caution than just to believe them straight up

Anyway can we just completely get rid of both of them for the good of humanity

I think the fact that this is a statement that needed saying is evidenced by how many people (presumably from .ml or of similar inclinations) are downvoting this, lol.

you’re in the wrong country then lol

I didn’t say it’s fine when Twitter does this. I specifically said it isn’t remotely okay. My point is only that this is not the only case of the CCP doing this, and that Twitter is not the only avenue it uses to do so.

the CCP is one of the vilest ruling parties and in charge of one of the worst governments in the world. She isn’t the only activist who has had this harassment. Obviously massive disgrace from Twitter, but as much as them taking action would help, the issue will not be solved as long as the Communist Party persists.

It’s been longer than that a long time. Crimea was in 2014.

It says a lot that even the CCP is less stupidly obsessed with “national security” and silencing dissent than our local colonial governor.

I’m sure the many, many thousands killed in Palestine over the past 3 years are grateful to your belief that the guy who has been killing them is entirely identical to the guy who kept them alive as second class citizens but yet still alive.

i’m not saying he’s good, i’m saying that him being shot is bad. Especially when the alternative is fucking Ben Gvir.

And yet he was shot for it, and as a result no one will even consider going left of that.

yes, I know, I’m just pointing out that it won’t even work on its supposed intended goal lol

Rabin getting shot didn’t work out for Palestinians, and he was only halfway trying to do anything good. What makes you think more extreme pariah status will solve the issue that Israelis firmly believe they own the land and see it as their home and have the guns to back it up? Israel could easily North Korea itself, never mind the nukes, and the people that would suffer most are the Palestinians. And no one’s gonna fucking invade it to stop it because, again, nukes.

They did this in Hong Kong already. Everyone still gets spam. People who make a living off of this will find a way.

and the government walks away scot free once again

systemic failure on so many peoples’ parts and yet no heads will roll because any attempt at accountability is seditious

My point was more that Netanyahu has a very long and storied track record of somehow coming out on top.

also, I think (perhaps hope) they’ll be better, if only just. At the very least, they won’t have Ben Gvir and Smotrich in government. Bar is all the way in hell and out the other side, but it’s at least above that bar instead of below it.

On the other hand, he’s the type of person that gets the remotely moderate politician like Yitzhak Rabin shot.

I mean, it’s Netanyahu. Not that Bennett / Lapid are much better politically.

hang on now this is Netanyahu we’re talking about he’ll probably win it again anyway. Likud are somehow still the most supported party again.
