A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

NERMEEN SHAIKH:
LARA BITAR:
The call to action of boycotting Israel at the end is the valuable part of this quote.
I wouldn’t die on the hill of “Hezbollah is not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure” for the fact that they do not have the rocketry capabilities for targeted strikes. Isreal clearly doesn’t either.
Have you seen any of the videos they have posted? I saw a few that were actually guided ! they problem I notice in media they never show attacks by hamas or hezbollah. While IDF doesn't actually care what they hit and like to always claim to be right and accurate but we know from Gaza they are mostly lies which makes it hard to believe them anymore..
I haven’t seen those videos and I’d like to see them to be informed. Pls link.
I just know that even the US struggles with targeted ballistics not hitting civilians and I think any focus on that argument weakens her response. Israel’s mandatory conscription makes those standalone sentences mean even less.
Hezbollah has tried to deescalate by flagrantly violating UN resolution 1701 for decades.
As opposed to Israel also violating the UN Resolution by continuing it's illegal occupation of Lebanese and Syrian territory? Hezbollah disbanding it's armed wing doesn't make sense when Israel continues it's settler Colonialism and targeting of civilians. There is no guarantee Israel would stop, in fact they've given every reason that they would continue their atrocities.
What Lebanese territory does Israel occupy?
My bad, I confused it with the continued occupation of the Golan Heights, which is Syrian territory. The Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon ended in 2000. However, there has still been disputes about what constitutes the border, such as Shebaa Farms. Since 2006 its been much more about Israeli incursions into Lebanon. Hezbollah is also very vocal about considering all occupations by Israel, such as Palestine and the Golan Heights, as illegitimate, so that's also a factor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Lebanese_conflict
Under UN Resolution 1701, the governments of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria have to negotiate about the border and Sheeba farms. On all maps from the French mandate, the Sheeba farms are part of Syria.
Israel attempted to negotiate this under Olmert and didn’t get a response.
Hezbollah doesn’t give a shit about Sheba farms. They explicitly want to destroy Israel. Just listen to what they say and write.
Start reading something else besides the notorious anti-Israel Al-Jazeera.
Hezbollah wants to destroy Zionism, that includes ending Israeli occupation of any people, from Lebanese to Syrian to Palestinian. Hezbollah only exists because of Israel.

Israeli Withdrawal
It's difficult to quote from the article, so read the full paper for more context and details
2006
Hezbollah's ideology is both Anti-zionist and anti-judiaism, which Amal Saad-Ghorayeb can analyze and describe far better than I can. The anti-Judaist sentiment should absolutely be condemned and called out.
