If you have better source than the guardian let me know. I'm posting this because i'm surprised nobody has posted it yet
The Guardian is a good source!
I'm sure there are better ones
What is the controversy about the guardian?
Edit: No evidence of misinformation, disinformation or propaganda. Gotcha
Western propaganda apparatus
Mouthpiece of the empire. Not controversial at all though.
mass media
When will the day come when there is peace and there are no bombers in the Middle East?
The first step would be for the US to stop giving them bombs.
not soon if we keep supporting governments arming themself to death and mass producing bombs
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 we no longer need their oil.
When all humans have bombed each other and there is no one left
When will the day come when there is peace and there are no bombers in the Middle East?
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.
I just want to point out something really important about this whole conflict.
Despite the fact that Iran is heavily funding and arming multiple terrorist groups to attack Israel, both in the Palestinian territories and surrounding countries, Iran has no Palestinian refugees according to the UN groups that report on such things.
Why would a country which purposes to be just involved to "help Palestinians" be acting in such a way?
Maybe they're helping Palestine because they don't want tons of refugees? Israel is determined to ethnically cleanse millions of citizens and it makes sense that none of the surrounding countries want to deal with that. The best thing for their self-interest, and luckily ethics in general, is to stop Israel's continuous genocidal campaign.
A) They don't have ANY refugees. Despite there being almost 7 million Palestinians living outside of Palestine, which is more people than live IN Palestinian territories.
B) If you think the best way for Iran to ethically "help" is to continue sending weapons to Palestine that justify the Israeli invasion, you may want to go take an ethics class. At this point their "help" has got more Palestinians killed than doing nothing would have.
Power projection and spite.
Iran cares to fuck with the US, Isreal, and other western powers, likely a ripple effect of this, and Isreal has demonstrated Iran cannot control its own airspace.
Palestinians have been seeking outside support since the 1948 UN resolution to create the 2 nations / the nakba, even going so far as getting support from the right wing Israeli government .
It’s a business deal not a moral one.
Israel’s actions have also put them, and the US, in a (demonstrably) bad light on the world stage, so any support to Palestinians is a PR win for Iran and everyone who’s competing with the US for influence so Russia and China love it too.
Are you addressing this comment to people who think Iran is.... good? You're right that they are not nice.
I think I understand your point: Iran is just in it to hurt Israel and doesn't actually care about Palestinians.
But then isn't the enemy Iran? How is killing some Lebanese child alongside a "terrorist" going to stop the next attack? Iran will just continue funding, surely? Probably with more willing recruits.
Obviously nobody wants war with Iran, I get that. So, and I know this is crazy, but maybe this is a problem you can't murder your way out of? Just an idea.
The blame needs to lie with the aggressors, which in this case is Iran. People see Palestinians dying and assume that Israel is just beating them up because they're bullies, when it's Iran that's doing the bullying via terrorist groups and Israel is just fighting back.
Diplomacy won't solve the issue, because Iran doesn't want a diplomatic solution and is happy to keep handing out guns and rockets to disillusioned young men just to weaken Israel for as long as they want.
There's an imperialistic war going on over there between scummy governments
Hitler used the same reasoning for the Jews in Germany.
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.
So by that logic, can the US just bomb the shit out of Mexico cause of their cartels problems?
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 Lebanon 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...
Mods? Why aren't you banning this post for genocide denial? I'll help: Uyghur Uyghur Uyghur! That should get your attention
