At least 20 more people were killed and 450 injured in Lebanon on Wednesday after a series of new explosions of wireless devices rocked the South, the Bekaa and the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to the Ministry of Health and the Lebanese Red Cross.
So you are trying to tell me that if you were on the other side of the fence you would be happy if some colonial Western countries gave your land on a silver platter to an ethnic group, consisting of new emigrants who were not even living there before 1900.
I have all the compassion for the Jews and what they experienced in WWII. But this doesn’t also give them a carte blanche to expel people from their own homes and declare Israel as an ethno state.
The reality is that Israel has killed and destroyed a lot more civilians and their infrastructure compared to any of their proclaimed terrorist neighbours. And then it is just logical to ask who is actually worse, the so-called terrorist organisation, or the state of Israel of their indiscriminate killings. And believe me, through the years Israel committed well documented plenty of human rights violations, war crimes, etc.
You know if you disregard international law so blatantly, you are creating a dangerous precedent and other countries would do the same. The whole idea of those international laws is to prevent large scale conflicts and to minimise the civilian casualties. But nowadays no one bats an eye if Israel breaks another one.
And this double standard, is infuriating. Because if you are a war criminal, you should be put into jail, no matter your country of origin, skin colour, religion, etc.
And the same applies to Hamas and Putin, of course.
Instead we have Israel trying to sabotage the international criminal court, tapping phones, blackmailing prosecutors and on top of everything else the US is considering sanctioning the prosecutors just because they dared to issue an arrest warrant for Bibi and Gallant. That’s how rotten our world is.

Take a look at Syria or Yemen, if you get the chance. Israel is the strongest military in the region and has good civil defense infrastructure as well with bomb shelters in every house. Hezbollah and Hamas could just not attack Israel and they would be left alone.
The way Gaza and the West bank are left alone, behind big walls, with plenty of checkpoints, restricting the free movement of people and stock with severe economic sanctions and so on. Oh what a paradise on Earth.
