A million ppl have already been displaced in #Lebanon and the IDF publishes a map that effectively condemns half the country. These are Shia-majority areas for the most part. This is forced demographic change. Mass ethnic cleansing.

These are also Lebanon’s agricultural areas.

@ayoub War is not pretty.
But it is how it is.
Israel also has large swaths of lands evacuated in the north.

@lioryair @ayoub Your words will bring such comfort to the newly displaced.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
Comfort? No. But as a resident of Philippines, I know that life is not as comfy as you westerners think.
We're constantly under threat from China. But none of yall care.
I have comfort in knowing the overall, peace loving Israelis, have intelligently invested billions in missile defense systems, and mandatory safe rooms in every home.

@lioryair @ayoub Talk about changing the subject. How dare you try to make yourself the victim here? You wrote a disgusting unfeeling thing. Own it.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
Disgusting? Yall are complaining about the suffering of Lebanon & Palestine in times of war, while you couldn't give 2 shits about significantly worse suffering somewhere else.
Why don't you care about the literal genocide in China right now?
China is as of now, committing actual ethnic cleansing. In mass.
You're attacking Israel for defending itself.
Go after the actual big evils of this planet.
Where were you when the northern Israelis were displaced.
Quiet. Hypocrisy.

@lioryair @ayoub So whataboutery is all you've got? How can you tell what any of my opinions are about anything based on the knowledge you have? You wrote a nasty thing showing a complete lack of compassion and you're doubling down. It's embarrassing. You have access to Google. Look up logical fallacies. You're not good at this.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
Because unfortunately, it's extremely predictable.
If you'd like, prove me wrong.
Say right now, that the western world needs to put serious sanctions on China due to it.
And the displacement of Israelis is as bad as the displacement of Lebanon, if not worse.
As well as its right to defend itself, from the 500 missiles just shot at it by Iran.
Go on. I'll hold.
Also while you're at this, there are currently 0 Jews alive in Gaza strip.
Please, condemn actual ethnic cleansing.

@lioryair @ayoub I'm still waiting for you to show any compassion for the people whose lives you unceremoniously dismissed as being irrelevant because war happens. Obviously you don't care about the 10s of thousands of innocent people who have been killed in the topic we're actually discussing. You don't care at all. Of course people in other conflicts matter. That's the point. Picking and choosing of deserving and undeserving victims is the sign of the brainwashed.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
Sure, it's a shame innocent Lebanese folk have been displaced due to Israels retaliation.
And I hope they'll be able to retake their country from Muslim extremism, and be able to live peaceful coexistence with the Israelis.
Especially the poor suppressed Lebanese Christians.
Hopefully Hezbollah shall fall.
And the Lebanese people will be free of their Muslim oppressors.
Now, would you kindly condemn the actions of Muslim extremists vs IL, as well as the Chinese government

@lioryair @ayoub I know a lot of people from China, I've been there and I agree that the government is oppressive, especially to ethnic minorities. In my position as a nobody in the world, I can do very little to help, apart from help the people I meet through my work, which I do do. What do you do to help the oppressed?

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
I've adopted as many god children as I can afford, and do my best to be charitable with my income.
Now please. I've done as you've requested.
Condemn the actions of Muslims extremists such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, Syria, as well as the ethnic cleansing of China, as well as its great horrible actions.
And state that the Jewish people of Israel have a right to defend itself.
As well as that the displacement of northern Israel is just as bad, as of Lebanon.
Prove. Me. Wrong.

@lioryair @ayoub I think murdering people is wrong and I condemn anyone who uses it as their go to tactic. October 7 was an atrocity. So is the murder of so many Gazans and Palestinians. You haven't condemned their murder, or is killing people OK in your religion?

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
No, I'd like you to specifically state you condemn. Iran, Syria, Hamas, & Hezbollah.
In my religion, it is A OK to defend your nation from its enemies, even if it means the death of civilians of the enemy state.
Civilian casualties are a millennia old fact of war.
Now purposeful targeting of Civilians, is wrong.
Like what Hamas, Hezbollah & Iran do.
Please condemn the organizations of Hamas, Hezbollah, Leadership of Iran, Leadership of Syria.
It's hard to get you to condemn.

@lioryair @ayoub So murder is OK in your religion? This is why I'm not religious. I believe in morals. Religious people don't. They outsource their thinking which means they justify atrocities.

Lior Yair

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
Murder is by definition, wrongful killing of another, so no, Murder is not allowed.
Killing of people during war, absolutely is allowed.
And is shown in the holy books of every single religion.
And even without religion, it is absolutely reasonable to kill civilians in war.
I'm sure you don't condemn the British bombing of Germany which killed millions of German civilians do you?
At least, I hope so.
