Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

    It won’t stop until either Israel is disarmed or there is a complete change of people in charge of Israel and criminals like Netanyahu, his entire government and IDF commanders are sent to prison.

      That latter option won’t cause much change. Israel is, as a state and as a people, ideologically poisoned. They need something on the level of the denazification of Germany before you can hope for any change.

        I am not disagreeing with you but you need to start somewhere. Sending Netanyahu, his government and senior IDF officers to prison for war crimes would send shock waves and could be a trigger of wider changes.

        Ideally, I would like to see Northern Ireland power sharing solution in Palestine/Israel where each office is shared equally between Israelis and Palestinians. That however in my view can only follow after justice for the victims is achieved first and the perpetrators are in prison.

          Honestly, I don’t think justice for Palestinians is likely. As I see it, peace is inevitable but moderately far at the pace we’re going, but justice would require a perceived violation of Israel’s integrity that Palestinians will never have the bargaining power to demand. It’d be throwing a wrench into a peace process that will likely be reluctant and fragile already. Justice would be nice to have as an addon, but Palestinians will likely choose to take the fastest route towards human rights, which will be a two-state solution where Palestinians make some concessions but gain a state with real sovereignty. If something drastically changes justice might become possible, but in my thinking it’ll be Palestinians, not Israelis, making concessions to make peace possible a la the Oslo Accords.

      Disarming Israel will make the war stop just like how disarming Ukraine would make that war stop as well.

        Pointless hate? These people are subject to Israeli Apartheid and acts of ethnic cleansing. Daily. What part of fighting that is pointless?

        Don’t you think that feelings of victims hating the perpetrators are completely justified?

              If only there were peaceful ways to get help that would almost have certainly garnered a lot more sympathy than resorting to terrorism…

                So, your solution is for the Palestinians to shut up and die? Nice, real peaceful

                  You said it, not me, but continuing to propagate violence only makes your solution the only viable one. Food for thought.

                There are, in fact, none. That’s why Hamas managed to gain the Palestinian cause a lot of sympathy over the last 20 years while the PLO did absolutely fucking nothing.

            Did the Jews forgive nazi perpetrators? Or were they still hunting them down many years after the war?

            So why do you want Palestinians to forgive nazi perpetrators?

              Yes actually (many went to work for Russia/USSR and US and weren’t touched by Mossad. Israel has since worked closely with both). Being able to seek justice being another reason to be peaceful…

        It’s not radical to stand up for oppression and genocide. It’s not pointless to hate a group of people who stolen everything from you. The fact that you would label it as such just goes to show how little you actually value human lives and their rights.
