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

    No, I meant Ukraine. If Russia was disarmed, Ukraine and probably every other nation as well would just leave them alone. If Israel was disarmed, its enemies would murder every single jew in there.

    That’s why comparison to Ukraine is more accurate.

      No, you definitely meant Russia. Aggressive fascist state invading their neighbours and murdering civilians, just like Israel.

        You don’t get to blame just one side for murdering civilians when both sides are doing it. You’re being dishonest. The only reason there aren’t more dead Israeli civilians is because of their world-class air defense systems and their enemy’s lack of military capacity.

        I’d be really curious to hear what you imagine would happen to the Israeli population if we removed their ability to defend themselves and why it wouldn’t be october 7th times a million?

          No, it is definitely aggressors fault. Both Russia and Israel should fuck off back into their INTERNATIONALLY recognised borders.

            This isn’t about whose fault it was. Killing civilians is equally bad, no matter whose the aggressor and they’re both doing it. You can’t use that as an argument against Israel.

              No, it is definitely aggressors fault. Palestinians and Lebanese have right to defend themselves, just like Polish Home Army did during 2WW. If the aggressor fuck off back, civilians will stop dying.

                You really don’t seem to want to answer this question. I wonder why that is.

                  Israel is an occupying force. 7th Oct would never have happened if Israel had not been commiting genocide and has not been occupying Palestine in the first place.

                  This is like arguing that Third Reich may suffer if it withdraws from land it occupied and/or Wehrmacht is disarmed.

                    You’re the one who suggested disarming them. Now I’m asking what do you think is going to happen next.

                    You don’t want to answer. We both know why.
