One of the most diverse countries in the world and still very little attention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Lebanon

There used to be a weekly column in the Independent by Robert Fisk, and it frequently discussed life in Lebanon. It sounded amazing, though often rather too war torn.

The Independent seems to have gone to garbage for n recent years, sadly.

No more offensive weapons

Let them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc.

I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more.

It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they want

Israel has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent people

They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc

No, just give them nothing. "Right to exist" is a bullshit propaganda term. Doesn't mean anything.

It frames themselves as under attack, which thereby gives themselves moral justification to attack, and when those attacked attack back they fulfill their justification, and the circle of violence and death perpetuates.

If it were me, we'd go a step further and apply sanctions, just as e.g. Russia and Myanmar are sanctioned.

They will just start making their own offensive weapons.
dewey•1h ago
Start? They have a large military sector already with IAI, Elbit etc.
A_D_E_P_T•1h ago
They're import-reliant. They don't make steel, don't make aluminum, don't have a large chemicals industry, etc. They're very vulnerable to sanctions and trade restrictions.

>Israel has a right to exist

Countries don't have any "right to exist", this very term is thought terminating propaganda created by Israel. Israel does not have a right to exist, countries either are, or aren't. People have a right to live.

And as it stands, Israel is a terrorist nation commiting war crimes and a genocide daily.

"Defensive" weapons also do not exist. If you give Israel weapons, or sell them weapons, you are complicit in their actions.

> thought-terminating propaganda

Exactly. I always struggled with this (which is the desired effect) until I heard Francesca Albanese give this exact answer.

There is no right to exist for a country under international law, but there is a right to live for people.

The West at large continuing to be complicit in Israel's aggression and genocide is a source of great shame to me. Unlike many other atrocities of the past 75 years, this could not have been done without our help.

Daily reminder that "championing human rights in the middle east" is the easiest thing in the world if you get to determine who is considered "human" and who is considered "cattle".

"We have democracy for some of our citizens" is not the flex they think it is.
devilkin•43m ago
Not sure what country you are referring to, Iran? USA? Israel? Libanon?
lovegrenoble•1h ago
Stop Israel's aggression and genocide.

Not letting Israel kill thousands because ... just because is antisemitic!
andrepd•1h ago
Took so long to get flagged? I'm surprised...

If the US–Iran front of the war is relevant for hn I don't see why the Israel–Lebanon one wouldn't.
