awesome man i love how our civilization is increasingly at the mercy of ultra right wing psychopaths who somehow answer to no one. feels fucking great
Only because nobody has held them to account.
How can you hold them accountable when the democracy and freedom loving superpower is supporting them. The UN literally is showing its League of Nations era power and standing because of this shitshow. I’m sorry UN write me a strongly worded letter for attacking you.
We absolutely CAN hold them accountable, but most people aren’t ready for that conversation yet.
And any hint of it immediately draws all the people talking about how we should take the moral high road (that’s filled with corpses of people doing the same thing) and not resort to violence or even inconvenient protests
Yes, because more violence is the answer /s
News flash: your thinking is exactly why palestine and friends do not get as much sympathy as they should.

Look at that, it works!
Look at that, it works!
It brought you, didn’t it?
You been watching the news? A couple people have tried recently.
If you want to hold them to account, it means you support them extra hard, according to the people who don’t want to ever hold them to account.
Getting bored of targeting civilian infrastructure and UN peace keepers?
gotta clear out the current inventory of human killing devices before stores are replenished by the US
Ugh. That sounds like government/corporate inefficiency. “Our budget/quota will be reduced if we do not spend the full budget/quota this fiscal year, so let’s purchase new workstations for the team”
Distract from the genocide.
Don’t forget ambulances.
The financial institutions are civilian. Elia Ayoub on mastodon was saying that his aunt got funds for her chemo there. So… good on Israel. They know their strengths. Killing civilians.
Is Jordan, Egypt, or Syria next?
Syria. Israel has invaded Egypt before, then retreated. Jordan has support from Saudi Arabia. Syria doesn’t have support, and it’s a mess internally, so it’d be fairly easy to take.
I’d bet they’d just take Damascus and the coast, though, unless they’d also want wherever the oil is (somewhat likely).
Egypt has a half-decent army and a peace treaty so probably impossible. The Gaza blockade also relies on Egyptian cooperation. Israel is like… That, but I don’t think even them want to return to 70s era Arab relations. Jordan has Saudi Arabia support and a peace treaty, so again no reason to rock the boat. Syria, though? Definitely on the cards. They don’t have a peace treaty and Syria is a failed stated who only have allies in Russia and Iran. The blowback will be disastrous, but Israel has proven they don’t care about that.
Syria is always on the cards for hosting Hezbollah too, Israel takes out Iranian arms shipments in Damascus all the time. Egypt and Jordan have peace agreements with Israel, and as long as they stay frosty they’ve got nothing to worry about. If you attack or threaten the Jewish State it will make you fucking pay. Every time. It’s existential for the Israelis. It is no threat, it is always a promise.
lol the Israeli occupation will attack and kill anyone if they want to steal their land. The peace deals mean nothing to them.
It’s not existential for Jews, and Jews are increasingly anti Zionist.
Israel will fall, all fascist ethnostates fall. When they run out of enemies that don’t look like them, they’ll make enemies out of those that do. Usually they fall before getting to that step but that’s the fatal flaw in fascism, you always need an enemy to blame.
Correct.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah
Hezbollah’s 1985 manifesto outlined its key objectives, which include expelling Western influence from the region, destroying Israel, pledging allegiance to Iran’s supreme leader, and establishing an Islamic government influenced by Iran’s political ideology.

Hezbollah rhetoric has made contradictory claims about its long-term goals. “We do not seek the application of Islam by force or violence, but by peaceful political action, which gives the majority in any society the opportunity to adopt or reject it. If Islam becomes the choice of the majority, then we will apply it. If not, we will continue to coexist and discuss with others until we reach a common ground based upon correct beliefs,” the organization said in 1998. But Nasrallah has also repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel. “It is an aggressive, illegal and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land,” he said in 2005. “It’s destination is manifested in our motto, ‘Death to Israel’.” Hezbollah has also and angrily threatened to destroy U.S. “hegemony” in the Middle East. The military wing is tied to deadly attacks on two U.S. embassies and the Marine peacekeepers barracks in Lebanon as well as American targets in Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
Begins?
To bomb a financial institution’s buildings.

Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated seven individuals in connection with Hizballah and its financial firm, Al-Qard al-Hassan (AQAH). AQAH, which was designated by OFAC in 2007, is used by Hizballah as a cover to manage the terrorist group’s financial activities and gain access to the international financial system. Ibrahim Ali Daher (Daher) serves as the Chief of Hizballah’s Central Finance Unit, which oversees Hizballah’s overall budget and spending, including the group’s funding of its terrorist operations and killing of the group’s opponents. The other six individuals designated today used the cover of personal accounts at certain Lebanese banks, including U.S.-designated Jammal Trust Bank (JTB), to evade sanctions targeting AQAH and transfer approximately half a billion U.S. dollars on behalf of AQAH.
“From the highest levels of Hizballah’s financial apparatus to working level individuals, Hizballah continues to abuse the Lebanese financial sector and drain Lebanon’s financial resources at an already dire time,” said Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control Andrea Gacki. “Such actions demonstrate Hizballah’s disregard for financial stability, transparency, or accountability in Lebanon.”
While AQAH purports to serve the Lebanese people, in practice it illicitly moves funds through shell accounts and facilitators, exposing Lebanese financial institutions to possible sanctions. AQAH masquerades as a non-governmental organization (NGO) under the cover of a Ministry of Interior-granted NGO license, providing services characteristic of a bank in support of Hizballah while evading proper licensing and regulatory supervision. By hoarding hard currency that is desperately needed by the Lebanese economy, AQAH allows Hizballah to build its own support base and compromise the stability of the Lebanese state. AQAH has taken on a more prominent role in Hizballah’s financial infrastructure over the years, and designated Hizballah-linked entities and individuals have evaded sanctions and maintained bank accounts by re-registering them in the names of senior AQAH officials, including under the names of certain individuals being designated today.
What’s next They’ll claim *they’re striking the marketing department and go after the US protesters?
Edit: a couple words
Conservatives doing conservative things. When will this planet be free of this plague of oppression and death?
When conservatives have opposition.
Well yes technically if a country doesnt exist it cant have a terrorist organization that resides within in because… well the country doesnt exist. But i think there are more efficient ways of acheiving those goals and they also exclude the part where you murder 100s of thousands of innocent people.
