Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

"I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end."

Yes they do, it's called the IDF and literally every citizen has to serve and receive "conditioning" that dehumanizes Arabs.

Since I know you're going to balk at that (doesn't change the fact that it is an accurate comparison)... Then how about Israeli settlers (AKA Jewish people from Brooklyn) in the West Bank invading Palestinian villages with AR-15s and forcing them from their ancestral homes at gunpoint? Murdering men, women, and children for some property they have zero claim to. Is that close enough for you?

No, you're right, it's not. Because Hezbollah isn't an invading force.

I'm tired of people acting like these parties don't have militant arms directly because of Israel's actions. Intentional, I might add. They know they're creating more "terrorists."
