The attacks from Lebanon are in defense of Gaza and are part of Lebanon's legal obligation to prevent genocide. Aiding Israeli forces that are conducting illegal acts is complicity.
> are performed to limit casualties of non-engaged civilians in the conflict.
Over 20k Gazans have died, few of them resistance members because they are in tunnels. The majority of dead are women and children. Israel is attacking the families of the resistance because they cannot reach them. This is collective punishment. Almost every hospital has been evacuated or destroyed. Universities destroyed. They are wiping out all humanitarian services and cultural artifacts.
> FYI the ICJ's court of justice has NOT determined that a genocide is likely to be occurring,
Provisional measures are granted when it is determined there is a likelihood that genocide is occurring. The case will drag on for years to determine on the merits whether genocide has in fact occurred. Many scholars have opined that this case is unique because of the sheer number of open statements of intent by every level of Israeli society.

- khokhol 3y agoThe attacks from Lebanon are in defense of Gaza Sorry, but this is simply naive. Hezbollah and Iran are doing what they're doing out of long-standing ulterior geopolitical motives. Not because they could give a flying toss about the Palestinians.
- tehjoker 3y agoI wonder if those geopolitical motives has something to do with Israeli expansionism and settler-colonialism, which founded the Israeli state with the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, in 1948? Surrounding states have been highly sympathetic to the Palestinian plight. Israel invaded Lebanon multiple times.
- khokhol 3y agoWhich founded the Israeli state with the Nakba, Look, we all know the history. Please don't be so arrogant. The main point is, if you were to break down the reasons why the theocratic regime in Iran really opposes Israel at every turn - as opposed to what the narratives that they're happy to let you believe, such as the above, say about these motives - you probably wouldn't be blithely repeating those narratives.
