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?

@lioryair @ayoub and Israel has a right to defend itself from being bombed and they have a lot of help with that and are very successful, as yesterday proved. But they don't have a right to invade or bomb others. They don't have a right to commit war crimes. Nobody does.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
So, you think self defense doesn't include counter attack?
You must believe that kids who're assaulted at school should just take it like potato sacks.
Accept reality. You attack a country, it has a right to counter attack.
It is absolutely bonkers, how far Israel is taking steps to defend another countries civilians.
Israel should do what is necessary to disarm their enemies.
Which absolutely would require land entry to Lebanon & Gaza.
Iran, just blow up nuclear & gas produc

@lioryair @ayoub self defence certainly doesn't include attacking others. Where does it end? By attacking others, you end up murdering innocent people who, by your logic, would be justified in self defence by preemptive attacks.
People with flawed logic like you are the reason the world is so messed up.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub
It's easy really, they've had years of basically no activity on the border with Lebanon, then Hezbollah attacks Israel.
It's not rocket science. It's really not complicated.
And yes, preemptive strikes, are justified.
If an enemy is amassing soldiers on your borders, and you have intel they're about to attack, it totally makes sense to do a preemptive strike.
Sometimes, I forget how naive people get.
Israel has a right to make sure, they won't be able to do this again.

@lioryair @ayoub By your own logic, the attacks by Hamas and Hesbollah are justified because you believe that war is a reasonable solution to solve grievances and preemptive attacks are OK. If they're wrong, Israel is wrong too. Can't be one rule for one and a different rule for another.

@BetsyBeeee @ayoub

I also said, that targeting civilians is wrong.
Which is exclusively what they do.
So no.
It's really simple.
The Muslim side actively seeks the murder of civillians.
The Israeli sides actively seeks to kill military targets, and sometimes, kills civilians on the side.
It is really, really simple our dear genocide supporter.
Few conflicts in history, are this black & white.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. From Jews, of course.
The beloved slogan you chant.
