    Aside from the obvious, has anyone noticed, that those stairs lead to a wall?

      Doesn’t even stop them for doing it in Gaza and West Bank. That piece of land, that Israel we know now, is a combination of land grab through purchasing and warfare.

      That’s what happens when you resort to violence. The strong win and the weak cry about injustice. Maybe next time they’ll not bombard Israel with rockets if the price tag is too high.

        I guess you could consider Israel strong if you remember that this strength comes from the US taxpayers being swindled out of their healthcare, social support and education money, which is funneled into donations to Israel and a massive armed forces that keeps its genocide regime propped up, while US tuition prices skyrocket and schools barely have teachers and facilities in many places, certainly not to the same level as it used to be.

        Meanwhile hordes of people live in tents, work 60 hours a week living paycheck to paycheck and have no medical, paternity leave or sometimes even the same number of paid time off days as the rest of the world. Even the president takes a huge crap all over protesting rail workers, who wanted some sick leave and some safety in their workplace, which sees American railways eroding in quality and safety in favor of bigger trains and less personnel operating them.

        I guess genocide has a price that someone has to pay. Honestly, i wouldn’t see that necessarily as strength. More like outright exploitation of the American people, the Palestinians and now the Lebanese for an old fairly tale that some magic being told a long time ago.

        Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 1,974 people, including 127 children. At least 9,384 people wounded.

        There is also the fact that Israel has been committing genocide for over a year.

        Euro-Med Monitor’s death count differs from that reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health — which currently stands at roughly 42,000 — as it accounts for reports by the human rights groups’ field team. But the true death toll is likely to be far, far higher; estimates from health experts have ranged from 100,000 to over 330,000, or about 15 percent of Gaza’s population.

        In its over 100-page report, Euro-Med Monitor lays out some of the worst atrocities carried out by Israeli forces over the past year. It details the “systematic acts of genocide committed in Gaza, such as the targeted killing of civilians in homes, shelters, displacement camps, and humanitarian-declared zones,” and too many other examples to list.

          Clearly, more violence is what will fix this. /s

          Be sure to let me know when an #-page report is released and/or casualty projections are large enough that the price-tag isn’t worth it. Otherwise you’re using violence to justify violence and this cycle of death continues… to whose benefit again?

            If you read the first three chapters of that report, you’ll have your answer

            Israel has repeatedly chosen violence over peace. They’ve even assassinated the Principal Peace Negotiator multiple times, in order to continue delaying peace negotiations

          There there. I was only kidding. Everybody knows violence results in the weak winning and the strong crying about it. 🙄

        Israel would be living safely if they didn’t decide to colonize Gaza, the West bank and many other Arab land in 67

      The only thing being pointed out there is that the settler group Uri Tzafon is not directly associated with the Israeli government. The article posted here doesn’t say that they are.

      Sure, this fringe group may be taking advantage of Israel’s incursion into Lebanon for their own purposes, but the fact that the Israeli government doesn’t say “Hey, cut that shit out,” is telling. I would further expect that when “settlers” (occupiers) decide to take up residence in another country and then rightfully get kicked the fuck out of that country by force, that the Israeli government/military might then protect them in Lebanon. All while still saying “Oh, they’re not at all affiliated with the Israeli government!”

        It sure is. It’s telling the exact same story the West Bank has seen play out for decades now.

          For me settling is primarily about stealing land. I’m not so concerned about the “legal status” of that theft under the thieves’ regime.

              They’re definitely Israelis. Are they agents of the government? Well this is a little subtler than you might think. No they are not on government payroll. Yes they hang on their government’s week to week, mile by mile policy posture toward settlement and constantly take as much as they can get away with without alienating that government. It’s such a tight relationship that yes, you should effectively hold the government responsible for their behavior.

      The movement’s founder, Professor Amos Azaria, told Middle East Eye that: “Having a proper border based on the Litani river, or the Zahrani [river], will not only allow proper control over the border, but will in fact shorten the border as it becomes more of a straight line.

      You can easily Google that guy

      But maybe your problem is the source?

      Do you trust an Israeli news agency more? Not sure why anyone would, but here you go.
