“The Air Transport Union in Lebanon (#UTA) has refuted The Telegraph’s report alleging that ‘Hezbollah stores missiles and explosives at Lebanon’s main airport,’ criticizing the claims as unsubstantiated.
The UTA dismissed The Telegraph’s allegations as ‘mere illusions and lies aimed at endangering Beirut Airport and its civilian workers, as well as travelers to and from it, all of whom are civilians’.”
Err, not because some militia resides there. Because that militia keeps bombing Israel from there. Hezbolla knows well it will fire rockets from villages, because it's safer to hide behind civilian population.
Genocide Joe is walking in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan.
The last time didn't go very well for Americans.
Last time 70000 Lebanese lost their lives during Israeli occupation. And it gave birth to what is now Hezbollah who fought for almost 2 decades to kick out Israeli invadors.
The funny thing about the Hezbolla is that it did not lift a finger to oppose the Syrian occupation forces in Lebanon (1976-2006). The Syrians were finally kicked out of Lebanon by a coalition of forces that the Hezbollah opposed.
I am sure some other anarchists might have already mentioned this (I dont know & cant remember), but towards the beginning of this genocide it occurred to me & I mentioned too.
The primary reason why Palestinians are oppressed (by extension everyone else who are oppressed across the world) is because they are systematically denied the tools of self-defence to free themselves of the oppression.
The reason why this genocide is going on now is because there is no deterrence for the oppressor (genocidal entity) for commiting the crimes its committing.
If Palestinians had weapons, this fascist entity would have never dared to commit the crimes it has been committing for nearly a century.
One thing is a given. Every oppressed population would want to fight back for their dignity incl Palestinians, but they are systematically denied the tools to defend themselves & one of the most important thing they need is weapons.
All "political solutions" without them having access to tools of self-defence will only be oppression with another name.
For those who dream of a society without oppression, without State, without Capital, without all other systems of domination (Fascism/Racism/Misogyny/Casteism/Religion/…), one of the most important thing is public dissemination of knowledge of weapon manufacturing.
Even in theory its impossible to emancipate without weapons when the enemy have them, this enemy not just some but have warehouses of them with an industrial pipeline filling its supply lines, while its oppressed have none.
The reason why State has "export controls", marks details as "classified"/"state secrets", makes its industries hide all of this under "know how", "trade secrets" (using the intellectual property scam), criminalises weapon manufacturing that it doesn't control is mainly because it wants its primary enemies (people it rules over) to not have any mechanism of self-defence to fight back.
This way it can oppress "peacefully" while in the best case all its victims are allowed to do is "protest" aka so called "freedom of speech", … i.e go & shout till you exhaust yourself & nothing more.
You do realize that the leading ideological movements among Palestinians are Fatah (National) and Hamas (religious), and that currently Iran (religious, national) pumps them weapons so Palestinians fight a proxy war for Iran.
Israeli Jewish-supremacist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir: "Every house in #Gaza has a picture of Al-Aqsa Mosque. We must break into their holiest site."
Why isn't this monster sanctioned by the western leaders? How far does he need to go before they take action against this JewishLKK leader?
Can we treat this monster like holocaust deniers at least?or is it too much to ask?
Right wing Israeli media now accuse #Biden of being 'antisemitic' for giving the the speech on a Saturday, the Shabbat (rest day) for Jews, because #Netanyahu and his allies cannot respond to the speech for the next 24 hours
Hey, Americans, just shot up and send another $10B check to Israel plus 100s of cargo planes full of weapons.
What I see here is accusation that he is "coward". Well, this coalition keeps trying to force the Shabbat on all of Israelies and claim that it is a good thing (see deputy minister Makleb's words recently). Well, either do work at Shabbat or shut up. You can't force the whole world.
So much so that Olmert contiued the process in the West Bank in 2006. But momentum was lost due to the war in Lebanon in which Olmeft lost much popularity.
Israel has internationally-recognized borders with Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon (though not with Syria).
Before Oct-7, the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip was well-defined and part of basically any draft of agreement between Israel and various Palestinian parties (but none of those was finalized).
Because? Are you sure? The border between Israel and Lebanon wasn't really internationally recognized even before 1967, despite being based on a well-defined previous international border.
Syria claims lands that were part of Palestine, because it annexed them by force in 1948.
Israel left Sinai ("To the last grain of sand") in the peace treaty with Egypt. And this treaty was signed by the right winger Begin.
Dayan indeed said in 1971(?) that Sharm El Sheikh with no peace is better than peace with no Sharm El Sheikh. But 7 years later he was one of the negotiators in Camp David.
At the time the Camp David agreement was signed, and up until 2005, Israeli forces were holding the Philadelphi corridor. So I can't see how this specifically is a violation of the Camp David agreements.
