Israel, which began incursions into south Lebanon two weeks ago to battle Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, has issued military evacuation orders affecting more than a quarter of the country, the U.N. refugee agency said on Tuesday.
The figures underscore the heavy price Lebanese are paying as Israel steps up its campaign to defeat Hezbollah and destroy its infrastructure in their one-year conflict.
@EndIsraeliApartheid USA did same kinda shit in #Iraq. Dropped flyers from aircraft, telling residents to evacuate. This is a classic #colonial #terrorism tactic.
@PhoenixSerenity
The United States are responsible for killing 25 million people since the Second World War, so what else can you expect from them. Now they are helping to commit genocide.
@EndIsraeliApartheid Exactly why many of my geopolitical posts have #FuckTheUSA in them.
@PhoenixSerenity
It's tragic how the United States has transformed itself from fighting fascism, to being its sidekick, and that within 80 years.
@EndIsraeliApartheid @PhoenixSerenity To be fair, the US hesitated on that "fighting fascism" part.
@majorlinux @EndIsraeliApartheid Yeah, you can't truly fight against fascism if you're still enabling it & think it's a good idea to negotiate with fascists.
@majorlinux
For economic reasons, if I remember correctly. Now they are driven by economic reasons.
Only the American people can stop their leaders, by reporting them and bringing them to justice. In the meantime, there are enough American laws that these people have violated.
@EndIsraeliApartheid Absolutely!
However, the powers at be have used powerful tactics to keep the American people docile and have them convinced this is necessary for peace and prosperity.
@majorlinux
For peace and prosperity... difficult to understand as a non-American.
I'm surprised that people have no problem seeing their tax money being sent to Israel, when their country in certain aspects (medical care, education, labor protection, infrastructure, etc.) is just a third world country.
@EndIsraeliApartheid It's the individualism.
The capitalist state has crushed so many people where they only look out for themselves.
It's them or someone else.
Sadly, most don't know any better and refuse to acknowledge that.
