Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.
Israel started massive bombing campaign against Lebanon as soon as a potential peace deal was announced. They’re never going to let us live in peace. They are never going to be satisfied.
They’re insatiable fanatics, who want endless war because they think God promised that land to them 3,000 years ago. They’re the religious and nationalist fundamentalists we should have been warned about.
That’s so fucking obvious. Just look at a map!! Are the Palestinians occupying the Israelis, or the other way around? Are the Lebanese invading Israel, or the other way around? You would have to be both blind and deeply stupid to not see the reality at this point.
I’m furious at our national media. They all lied in unison for decades to trick us into supporting and funding the terrorists.
I don’t know that I can ever forgive all the reporters in the national press, who lied to help the fascists, and called their victims “terrorists.” These sick people helped the actual terrorists brutalize the Palestinians for six decades, while actively hiding the truth from us.
It feels like Earth was designed perfectly for us, rain falling from the sky, food growing from the ground, yet somehow we’ve built a world where people need good credit scores, multiple jobs, and 40-hour workweeks just to survive
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
Congrats to Israel, they killed another peace deal. We were at 95% done. After Puppet Trump talked to Netanyahu, he came out with new completely unrealistic demands:
1. Israel doesn't have to abide by the peace deal and can keep attacking Lebanon. So, only a ceasefire for one side.
2. We have to take out all the enriched uranium on day one, not in the second stage.
3. All Middle Eastern countries have to betray the Palestinians and sign Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel without ending the occupation.
These are purposely impossible, so that the war continues. And Israel is bombing Lebanon heavily now to try to reignite the war.
They are not our allies, Israel is a terrorist government which has captured our government and media. They're using it to drive permanent war that Americans are forced to pay for.
