Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that, under orders from him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the IDF will accelerate the demolition of Lebanese homes in frontline villages along the border, “in line with the model we applied in Gaza’s Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” which have been largely flattened.

    I will not shed a tear if israel is wiped out, just like I wouldn’t have shed a tear if I was around to see nazi germany wiped out.

    Western countries need to kick whatever Zionist organizations they may have that collect funds for Israel and lobby the government, like AIPAC or the Jewish Defense League and such, then come down on Israel like a bitch with full military force and put the region under mentorship until Israel is dissolved and the land returned to Palestinians.

    This is my proposal to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.

          The world, including Europe and the US, needs to boycott, sanction, and isolate israel like the world did with South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. They will soon realize that their ethnosupremacist state has made them a pariah that has cost them legitimacy and money.

              The real fantasy is thinking a genocidal ethnostate that relies heavily on billions in welfare from the west is sustainable.

                Israel is a prosperous country. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel

                The economy of Israel is a highly developed free-market economy.[23][4][24][25][26] The prosperity of Israel’s advanced economy allows the country to have a sophisticated welfare state, a powerful modern military said to possess a nuclear-weapons capability with a full nuclear triad, modern infrastructure equivalent to developed countries, and a high-technology sector competitively on par with Silicon Valley.[23] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States,[27][needs update] and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China.[28] American companies, such as Intel,[29] Microsoft,[30] and Apple,[31][32] built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel. More than 400 high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Facebook and Motorola have opened R&D centers throughout the country.[33] As of 2025, the IMF estimated Israel has the 25th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.[1]

                  It’s prosperous thanks to heavy support from the west through billions in welfare and trillions spent fighting wars for them. The private companies opening branches in israel is another form of support. Also, their nuclear program was built by stealing our secrets which apparently we allow.

                Israel will accept my proposal because it will get a huge chunk of land in the Sinai. More land equates to a larger population and consequently, a more powerful country.

      Uh… the West Bank doesn’t border Egypt. You’d be cresting an Egyptian enclave separated from the rest of Egypt by Israeli territory. And anyway, that land originally belonged to Jordan.

        In the proposal, Israel would have to allow Egypt access by land to the West Bank. Alternately, Egypt could be given a land corridor through Israel. This land would count as part of the land given Egypt in exchange for Israel being given the Gaza Strip.

    This is sick. I’m so fucking tired of Israel’s actions at this point.

    Lebanon isn’t a pure Shia country that poses any acute threat to Israel. It’s a relatively diverse country with many religions and full of innocent people.

    Yes, Hezbollah is a problem, but that doesn’t give them the right to destroy entire villages.
