Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.
“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.
“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”
why is this man in government and not standing trial in front of the international criminal court
Warmongering Israel, fun times.
This motherfucker’s threats sound like they came from fictional villains with bad writers, and yet, American politicians can hear him say this and still believe it’s totally normal and good to continue funding Israel’s unhinged war crimes and genocide.
Israeli terroristic threats levied to innocent civilians. Must be a wednesday.
The only way this possibility ends in peace is an airstrike resulting in Netanyahu’s death, which is rather unlikely
Netanyahu: “Here I go, killing again!” If I was the US president would simply give Netanyahu the Osama Bin Laden treatment. Have some special ops dump his body in the ocean, send a message to the next Israeli PM there are consequences.
And then you get a visit from Mossad to send a message to your vice president.
Mossad couldn’t stop october 7th, they can’t do shit.
Oct 7 was the pretense Bibi needed to start his genocide. Why would they stop it?
Same thing as George W. Bush (moreso Cheney and Haliburton) wanting war in the middle east and letting 9-11 happen despite actionable intelligence beforehand.
Agreed. Mossad spends a lot of time and huge amounts of money spreading myths of how capable they and the Israeli military are. A good chunk of Israeli military are conscripts serving short terms. Israel is powerful because they have bought off western powers, not because they are in any way a power unto themselves. If the western powers would start prosecuting Israeli spies and theives itd be a good start, and the world would quickly see they arent scary against anyone with decent funding.
So does giving a rival head of state “the Osama Bin Laden treatment”.
Sure seems like plain old terrorism to me.
Small Hitler can’t get enough.
Netanyahu is the closest thing we’ve had to Hitler in quite a while.
Watch out, a French humorist has lost his job for making that comparison
In general I’m not a fan of hitler or nazi comparisons. I understand how someone could take offense at the use of the phrase “grammar nazi” for example.
But the rhetoric and the genocide we have heard from Netanyahu and his cabinet is atrocious, dehumanizing propaganda against not only the Palestinians, but also anyone who believes that all humans should have access to even the most basic human needs.
And as time goes on, Netanyahu is only proving what a sick racist bastard he really is.
He will be remembered for being a shitty human being. And he is seriously hurting the reputation of Israel on the world stage and endangering the lives of actual Israeli citizens and Jewish people all over the world.
I still can’t believe the guy responsible for Yitzhak Rabin’s death is in power

So, similar…. But the difference is Netanyahu has a smaller penis?
I don’t know. I haven’t seen it.
He is Hitler.
I can’t support this. It’s like America’s little putin.
Wonder when he will attack Poland
It’s the exact same playbook as in Palestine.
No doubt there will soon be Israeli “settlers” in Lebanese territory surrounded by enormous areas stolen from the locals “for security”.
They’ve already been brainwashing their population for a long time:
Children’s book about invading Lebanon
And advertising properties for sale in Lebanon:
Settler group advertises properties for sale in southern Lebanon
A rabidly racist society whose leaders keep telling the West that they have “Western Values”.
Yeah, 19th Century White Colonialist Values, same kind that the Belgians in Congo and the Afrikaneers in South Africa had.
And they act as if we should be afraid of Hamas and Hezbollah.
I certainly don’t support Islamist groups, but both Hamas and Hezbollah have been born out of necessary resistance to Israel’s aggression. There could have been secular or socialist resistance groups, but Hamas and Hezbollah are the ones that have been funded and propped up because it’s easy to paint them as the enemy. Hamas and Hezbollah aren’t coming for any of us.
I have zero fear of Hezbollah or Hamas, but I’m deeply fearful of Zionists.
So he admits it. The plan was always to destroy Gaza, not Hamas, wasn’t it? Israel has some of the most advanced weaponry and intelligence out of any government on Earth, and the best they can do is indiscriminately bomb hospitals, refugee camps, residential blocks, and schools just in case Hamas is there, which is considered a warcrime by The Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute of the ICC. Rules of engagement state you do not attack civilian infrastructure in order to eliminate hostiles, unless you can demonstrate that the loss of civilian life is negligible compared to the military advantage gained from attacking a civilian building that houses hostiles. I’m sure the IDF really needed that hospital to run tactical ops out of.
Dont forget the purposeful murder of every journalist and aid worker they can find, very explicit and purposeful starving of a civilian population, and their attempts to frame the UN as a terrorist organization.
Notice that the schools, hospitals, residential blocks, etc in Lebanon are attacked without even a modicum of pretense. The justifications for bombing hospitals last year were clearly half-assed and false, but now they don’t even bother to give them.
They always claim Hezbollah is terrorist, but surely the IDF have a larger civilian kill count and a larger percentage of civilians killed.
Israel feeling pretty confident there is zero consequences to their actions now.
This is what I don’t get… Hezbollah has seats in Lebanon’s parliament. How is it any different than Likud? Aside from the whole, “not being actively genocidal” thing. Should we compare civilian casualties between the two groups?
Why are we only cool with democracy (and “spreading” it) when they vote for the people we like?
Likud doesn’t maintain a separate army under their own flag.
Yes they do, it’s called the IDF and literally every citizen has to serve and receive “conditioning” that dehumanizes Arabs.
Since I know you’re going to balk at that (doesn’t change the fact that it is an accurate comparison)… Then how about Israeli settlers (AKA Jewish people from Brooklyn) in the West Bank invading Palestinian villages with AR-15s and forcing them from their ancestral homes at gunpoint? Murdering men, women, and children for some property they have zero claim to. Is that close enough for you?
No, you’re right, it’s not. Because Hezbollah isn’t an invading force.
I’m tired of people acting like these parties don’t have militant arms directly because of Israel’s actions. Intentional, I might add. They know they’re creating more “terrorists.”
The only sane comment in this entire post.
Terrorism is when ones tries to achieve political objectives by putting pressure on a population through attacks on non-military targets.
What Israel is saying here is like Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers to “pressure their political opponents”.
That’s a tad bit difficult since Hezbollah military rivals that of the Lebanese government. This is pretty much an impossible request and him saying that he’s going to cause Lebanon “destruction and suffering”
