They created this militia by invading and mobilising resistance. Now they are doing the exact same thing. The only way I can see them exterminating Hezbolla this way is if they extend their genocide to Lebanon, and are successful at it. If not, all they achieve is to fill the next generations with hate just as they have done in the past.
and what else do you want them to do? Time travel to uncreate the militia so it doesn’t exist? I mean theoretically they could come to some sort of peace agreement, but who knows how well that would go. The other option is that israel does a little bit more trolling here. OR simply does nothing at all and lets hezbollah steam roll them.
Considering that we’re in the middle of a military conflict, and that neither side of any party seems content with peace, i think we can probably leave that one on the table here.
If Israel backed off, recognized Palestine and Palestinian territory, ended illegal settlements and began complying with international law, sent Netanyahu to the Hague, apologized, recognized the equal human rights of Arabs, and promised to help rebuild infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank and to help Palestine gain safety of water and electricity independent of Israel, and then committed to this agenda, they would achieve peace in a heartbeat.
that’s a very real possibility, but this is literally going to be like 10 years of reparations here. It’s hard to say how stable the political climate is going to be between this. It’s also worth noting that this is nothing short of doing literally everything that israel can to get good graces from the arab world. Which even if it’s reasonable, still leaves a lot of room up for interpretation on whether or not it was “satisfactory”
But that’s unreasonable, right? But what exactly about it is unreasonable? Complying with international law? Recognizing Arabs as humans?
i think it’s unreasonable given the current context, complying with international law, and recognizing arabs as humans is something that i agree with, but i don’t think that israel literally wants to genocide arabs. From everything i’ve seen this conflict is about as expected as far as a middle eastern conflict goes, arabs are clearly more than willing to put themselves into this position. Repeatedly even. So if that’s what they want to do, i’m not going to stop them from doing it. Just as i’m not going to stop israel from fighting in this conflict either.
I think given 20 years and the end of this conflict currently as we know it, it might be reasonable. Depends on future conflicts and geopolitical relationships.
This notion of defence by bombing everyone around you is not sustainable when you need to defend yourself because everyone around you hates you. This is not the wars of the 19th century. Netanyahu is doing absolutely nothing to make Israel safer.
i don’t fundamentally disagree, but i don’t know if you really have any other options here. As you said, everyone around you hates you.
And worse still, he knows that. He never wanted to make Israel safe. Removing people is the point, no matter the cost. His project is to clean the land of Arabs. No matter the cost.
again i’m not really convinced that this is literally an ethnic cleansing, the Palestinians could at least do themselves a favor by not doing a terrorism to start the conflict in the first place. It would probably be beneficial if iran wasn’t a significant support line for hamas as well. There are so many points throughout history, where literally anything could’ve happened that stopped this conflict. None of them went anywhere.
note to the mods: given the amount of evidence, and the weight of the claim, i have no significant reason to believe that this is an ethnic cleansing or genocide. I could be wrong, but i’m not the UN ICC or ICJ so i have no say in the matter.
