    They’ve occupied before, why not again? And slowly and steadily expand northward, genociding everything in their path, that’s why hezbola was created, and that’s why it’s needed.

    Rewrite for truthiness: Israel declares itself above international law - announces it will keep stolen land because “God” loves them most. Such a bunch of cunty fucks.

    This is the definition of imperialism, literally.

    the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas

      Why would they need to afford them? The whole point of territorial expansion is to gain land, resources and other forms of wealth. I think you’re referring to the occupations, in which case Israel is a wealthy developed country with a strong tech sector that also gets billions upon billions of US aid money annually. They also don’t overextend themselves, and many empires past and present have occupied many more people and much more land compared to their core population/area. I mean their only active military operations are on and off bombings in Gaza, more intense bombings in Iran and an actual invasion in Lebanon. This isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things, assuming they can control the fallout (which they’ve been somewhat failing at recently).

        Let’s be honest here. If they didn’t have the US covering their ass at every turn, and US money fuelling their economy, their territorial expansions, violations of sovereignty and human rights abuses would have caused them to have faced even a modicum of retribution. Essentially they’re a spoilt child, with a parent who can’t see that their kid is part of the problem. But then the parent is a big problem too so the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

                No, they started a war of aggression with the goal of rendering Iran a failed state, in order to further their goal of total regional domination and expansion of israel’s borders. Anyone with half a brain (i.e. not you) can see that they won’t stop after Iran, so it’s now or never.

            Hezbollah participated in Iran’s defensive war against Israel. They “started” it in the sense that Britain started WWII. Also, you know, Israel was committing ceasefire violations on a regular basis and still had Lebanese territory under occupation.

              And Hezbollah was committing ceasefire violations by rearming and rebuilding positions below the Litani.

              So Hezbollah has valiantly thrown themselves at Israel’s flank to help protect the honorable theocratic regime in Iran. I’m sure the people in Lebanon being displaced and killed because of it will do so with a smile
