      When Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, and friends stop lobbying our Congress to fund defense contracts, Israel, and other imperialist entities that have turned that region into a sandbox for the military industrial complex.

      When humans remove themselves from this planet from one or more of war / climate change / doing nothing but grinding games that give cryptocurrency and forgetting to eat.

        Let’s not pretend all humans are incapable of peace just because we have a system which makes the greedy and cruel rise to the top.

          Let’s not pretend that the human world was not purposefully produced by humans who continually decide to leave the status quo as it is.

    I guess the Lebanese allowing their government and military to be infiltrated and usurped by Iranian and Iranian funded terrorists, for the past 40 years, which continually attack the far superior armed Israel from Lebanese territory, with no domestic internal Lebanese fight back, at all, wasn’t such a great idea after all, huh. I mean, who knew.

      Hezbollah grew out of the brutal occupation of Southern Lebanon by Israel.

      Shia initially viewed the Israelis with some optimism because they were not happy Fatah.

      Israel’s brutal occupation quickly changed that sentiment.

      Last time Lebanon and Israel were at war Israel lost. Hezbollah is better armed and trained now, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Israel is bombing civilian areas now, using terrorism because they cannot effectively stop Hezbollah rockets from hitting targets in ‘Israel’. People of Lebonan support Hezbollah and actions against Israel, they aren’t being held hostage.

        Bruh… quit your BS propaganda. I know a family from south Lebanon, its Hezbollah martial law there. And if you have the audacity to have critical thoughts on Hezbollah/Iran/Hamas you get beaten or killed…

        Political Hezbollah has only 12 seats in Lebanon, they are a minority, yet they control everything. Government is corrupted and keep a blind eye on what they do. Vast majority of Lebanese want them out. Recession and corruption is entirely Hezbollah/Iran doing.

        You dont even know history and can’t even spell Lebanon, you are a troll…

        Putting Israel in quotes tells me everything I need to know about your background.

          Maybe you’re just a biased idiot? (Or is that antisemitism?)

          Considering that Benji “Israel” Netanyahu keeps occupying lands that nobody in the civilized world will accept as Israel’s (see Europe and ignore US), maybe the quotes make sense.
