Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

      If only there were peaceful ways to get help that would almost have certainly garnered a lot more sympathy than resorting to terrorism…

          You said it, not me, but continuing to propagate violence only makes your solution the only viable one. Food for thought.

            Israel shoots into crowds of peaceful protestors in Palestine and has for years.

            Israeli Snipers have shot and killed on foreign journalists for years at these events.

            Israel has only ever responded to peaceful protests with lethal violence

            When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

            You can’t expect people subjected to systematic violence and dehumanization for generations to not fight back for their own humanity and human rights

              fight back for their own humanity and human rights

              If only that was what they were fighting for.

              When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

              Hasn’t been made impossible, just costly. Still less costly than resorting to terrorism. What is the body count now? More or less than projected when Hamas was deciding to 10/7? Any closer to victory? Let me know when reality sinks in.

        There are, in fact, none. That’s why Hamas managed to gain the Palestinian cause a lot of sympathy over the last 20 years while the PLO did absolutely fucking nothing.
