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.”
It’s the exact same playbook as in Palestine.
No doubt there will soon be Israeli “settlers” in Lebanese territory surrounded by enormous areas stolen from the locals “for security”.
They’ve already been brainwashing their population for a long time:
Children’s book about invading Lebanon
And advertising properties for sale in Lebanon:
Settler group advertises properties for sale in southern Lebanon
A rabidly racist society whose leaders keep telling the West that they have “Western Values”.
Yeah, 19th Century White Colonialist Values, same kind that the Belgians in Congo and the Afrikaneers in South Africa had.
And they act as if we should be afraid of Hamas and Hezbollah.
I certainly don’t support Islamist groups, but both Hamas and Hezbollah have been born out of necessary resistance to Israel’s aggression. There could have been secular or socialist resistance groups, but Hamas and Hezbollah are the ones that have been funded and propped up because it’s easy to paint them as the enemy. Hamas and Hezbollah aren’t coming for any of us.
I have zero fear of Hezbollah or Hamas, but I’m deeply fearful of Zionists.
