This will lead to WW3. Plus the blow back will be endless. You can't murder tens of thousands of people, and displace and starve millions with out creating terrorists.

They think that hezbollah and hamas and all the attacks on Israel by both are 100% unprovoked and brought on by some inbred hatred for jews. Hell, I was accused of being a bigot simply for being Lebanese and it was somehow taught to me as a child that I must hate Israel because of where I was born.

Nothing could be farther than the truth. I hate Israel and zionism the same way I fucking hate the nazis. It is because of what they believe, what they did, and what they are doing now, and what they plan on doing.

And whatever blindfolded bigotry is in these areas they are justifying with their actions. Do they think someone who just had their lives, friends and family blown up or stolen by Israel is going to think rationally? I'd tell you what I'd do in the Palestinians shoes but it'll probably get me on a FBI watch list.

Look up 'Hasbara program' on your preferred search engine (duckduckgo or startpage. Degoogle your life!) And you will see that they train and pay people to go online and just spread this shit on various allegedly middle east communities until it is nothing but zionist hellscapes.

On reddit the Lebanon and Syria subreddits are havens for zionist propagandists trying to get Lebanese to think that everything is their fault or hezbollah's fault, and in the Syrian subreddit they claim that all Lebanese in Syria are troublemakers and drug dealers and thieves who want to wreck Syrian society.

No joke. It is that fucked. I could write more but I don't got the time or energy now.

Not will be. Is. The blowback from last time was, among other things, Hezbollah.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are countless fake Lebanese who claim that this invasion is justified and it is 100% hezbollah fault (yeah right) while not realizing that this shit could lead to something far worse.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

WW3 is the something worse. I don't see how this goes any other way. China and Russia will back Arab nations to stick it to the US if our troops get involved. (we just sent 10k troops to the region as "peace keepers and advisors" totally won't backfire like very other time) We are moving away from the proxy War phases and straight into full on global war.

The US military is gearing for war with the PRC around 2027, so I expect sometime in the next decade for a serious war.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you share a reference for this? I've seen similar claims but for the PRC military. If they're finishing their upgrades at around 2027-2028, shit is really gonna hit the fan.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

With fucking nukes I might add.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A person born with hatred out of those conditions is not a terrorist. They have every right to feel the way to do.

Typical westerners, acknowledging their plight and still blaming the victims.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not the message or point I was making. I'm not blaming the victims. Just read my other replies.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Using the word ‘terrorist’ doesn’t convey that message at all, unless you mean it sarcastically or facetiously. Which also wasn’t conveyed. Just saying, might be good to use an indicator. Especially when Americans are such blood thirsty psychos.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Blow back implies it's the person who (UN sanctioned terrorist Isreal and America) is the aggressor hurts themselves by harming others.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a weird take. Why do you think anyone becomes a terrorist? It's usually not because they had a normal upbringing.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You probably think of this, this is the upbringing making people desperately fighting for freedom and to end the oppression and genocide.

Terrorists are the Isn'treal and USA and their allies and vassals.
