Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack III

[FreoRicci]

A ground invasion of Lebanon even after wiping basically the entirety of Hezb's leadership shows exactly what this is about. This is about baiting Iran into a war and annexing/occupying the South of Lebanon to expand their colonial project.

The fact that the US supports this is WILD and arguably a bigger PR disaster on the international stage because this is a country whose sovereignty is internationally recognised. It makes NATO's position on Russia's invasion of Ukraine to be very hypocritical. All of that outrage when Russia invaded Ukraine and they support the Israelis invading Lebanon?

Over a million Lebanese people are expected to be displaced. This is Gaza all over again.

Massively hypocritical.
Russia can very well up their defence and say the same as Israel.
It’s disgusting.

Great article. Biden will go down in history as a dog on a leash to Netanyahu and a war criminal.

They are supporting Israel in the thread on the Crime board.

Worth blowing up Israel cos of tobacco wars?

Just so you understand, opposing US imperialism does not imply support for Russia.

It is impossible to oppose Netanyahu and the genocide he is carrying out in Gaza and expanding to Lebanon without also opposing the paymaster of Netanyahu: US imperialism.

In the same manner, one cannot begin to understand Russia's invasion of Ukraine without understanding the role of US imperialism as the paymaster of Zelensky as well, and the past decade of history in which the US and its NATO allies have prepared the Ukrainian military for war and launching provocations against Russia's security.

I don’t think the 2 are the same. US 100% complicit re Israel, agree.

Saying the US made Russia invade Ukraine is a stretch and just comes across as pro Russia propaganda. May the US want to keep it going to help the war machine? That’s definitely possible, but Putin didn’t have to invade Ukraine, he didn’t have to invade Crimea, Georgia or Chechnya (the last one was Yeltsin I think).

Point being that it’s overblown rhetoric that Putin won’t stop is dumb. He hasn’t stopped before, why would he stop now if he was just allowed to take Ukraine?

It is not that much of a stretch. If China expanded into Papua Australia would be shitting themselves.

What do people expect Russia to do when NATO threatens expansion all the way to their border?

It is not propaganda - Putin always said he would react this way. He is just following through.

Such a great, true comment, which will clarify many. Thx.

....and Harris will be no different. Nor Trump
That is why the working class requires an independent political perspective.

Russia is not a powerful imperialist state like the US/Germany etc.
It cannot possibly have ambitions of dominating Europe, because it simply lacks the industrial, financial power to do so.
Putin has absolutely no intention of "conquering Europe"
That is just US fantasy propaganda to try to get us all on board in supporting their puppet Zelensky.

How can anyone on the one hand condemn the US government for its open endorsement of genocide as well as Israel's ongoing expansion of the war into Lebanon, while at the same time believing that the US is defending "freedom and democracy" in Ukraine??

Critical thinking skills are required.

Well, the "Crime Board" seems a well named place for them to populate.

Guessing everyone else is asleep.

Live: Iran is firing missiles at Israel, IDF says

Iran has fired missiles towards Israel, the Israeli military says. It follows warnings of a "widespread" attack.

www.abc.net.au

Oh boy.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Looks like the majority were intercepted... some landed but no reports of casualties

IDF Spokesperson said -

"We are on high alert both defensively and offensively. We will defend the citizens of the State of Israel. This attack will have consequences. We have plans, and we will operate at the place and time we decide," he says.

This footage is said to be incoming Iranian fire on the Nevatim airbase. LOTS of hits. The cameraman sounds excited!



I hope a lot of Israeli war machinery is in smoking ruins after that.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

This is said to be a strike near/on the Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Footage from what looks like an uber driver of a missile impact. Dunno where or what was hit.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

The caption here is... a little sarcastic of the 99% interception figure touted by the Israelis.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Can't vouch for the truth of it but the caption says an "Israeli Terror military building" was destroyed.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Said to be hits on the Tel Nof airbase south of Tel Aviv

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Hits everywhere. Location unknown.

 

[rdhopkins2]

This escalation is not good at all.
Israel are rather naive though if they think that other regional powers are going to sit back and watch.
Let’s hope that all have learnt a lesson and can no go about finding peaceful solutions.

What might be another angle of the strike on Nevatim airbase. Lots of hits and lots of smoke.
