On one hand you explain the back and forth tit-for-tat.
Then you follow up by pretending Hezbollah wouldn't do it. You know, despite bombing Israel for months. Yesterday is supposed to be an exception?

The rest of your post drips with feckless venom, and explains the inconsistency. You are for Iran's allies.
You too stupid to understand points being made (or willfully misrepresent them). While ignoring other vital info that undermines your RW-derived, pro-genocide trash.

And never mind that Lebanese civilians were also victims of indiscriminate attacks by Israel in their tit-for-tat exchanges with Hezbollah over past several months.

And never mind the 30 civs & children who were massacred by Israeli strikes on a school in Gaza just a few days ago. Was this a lesser event then the one you posted?

And never mind that Fox didnt even bother to say that Hezbollah firmly denied their role in the attack (whether true or not, it should still be reported like other media outlets did).
Nevermind this, Nevermind that. Do you have anything of actual substance to add? Hezbollah started the war in the north unprovoked. Already 12 children dead in this incident, but lets blame Israel for rockets fired by Hezbollah.

Tbh I see no advantage for Hezb to strike that particular (illegally occupied) area where most of the victims would likely be Syrians than Israelis. Why not strike Israel proper like they've been doing before?
Maybe you should send Nasrallah a message and update us on his answer. No chance that when you fire dozens of rockets every day, you're bound to mess up.

Sure, another everthing-started-on Oct 7 Zio apologist. After that date, Hezbollah's first strike on "Israeli targets" was not on Israel proper but on the Shebaa Farms territory which Israel stole and occupied from Lebanon during their invasion of southern Lebanon in 1978. Which was/is a legitimate response to any occupation of a country's territory by a foreign invader. Even before Oct 7 things were not that quiet.

Since then the attacks and provocations have been overwhelmingly Israeli by a huge margin. Not to mention Israels use of white phosphorus in their attacks burning large tracts of land in Lebanon and killing far more civilians since. Hezbollah would not even exist had it not been for Israels 1982 invasion of Lebanon that killed 15-20,000 mostly civilians in very similar indiscriminate bombing as in Gaza.

Yet the predominant Zio-narrative is that Israel is the bigger or main victim in all of this which the MSM pay more attention to. Most paying attention to current events wouldnt have fucking known this.

According to the UN, there is no evidence that Shebaa Farm (which is basically abandoned farmland of about 15 square miles) was a part of Lebanon. At the time the UN resolution regarding Lebanon in 1978 (e.g. UN Security Council Resolution 425), they were considered a part of Syria. Of course, Hezbollah needs some reason to keep fighting Israel... from wikipedia:

Following the Israeli withdrawal, the United Nations Secretary General issued a statement proposing the area for the operations of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon; in the statement the controversy was described, with 81 different maps being studied; the UN concluded that there is no evidence of the abandoned farmlands being Lebanese, but proposed to maintain the existing boundaries of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force in Syria (which had included the Shebaa Farms since 1967) "without prejudice" to any future agreement between Syria and Lebanon.

[...]

According to the Arab newspaper, Al-Hayat, "The issue over these farms was created to justify resistance operations from Lebanon after the UN had created the Blue Line following Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon. The Shebaa Farms were placed inside Syrian territory."

See also this from 2000 from the UN saying that Israel has completely withdrawn from Lebanon:
Recalling also the statements of its President of 20 April 2000 (S/PRST/2000/13), 23 May 2000 (S/PRST/2000/18) and 18 June (S/PRST/2000/21) on the situation in Lebanon, in particular its endorsement of the work done by the United Nations as mandated by the Security Council including the Secretary-General’s conclusion that as of 16 June 2000 Israel had withdrawn its forces from Lebanon in accordance with resolution 425 (1978) and met the requirements defined in the Secretary-General’s report of 22 May 2000 (S/2000/460),

Since then the attacks and provocations have been overwhelmingly Israeli by a huge margin.
So basically, what you're saying is that Hezbollah/Lebanon attacked unprovoked first but "since then..."

The Sheba farms did not fall under the scope of res 425 because it was still considered disputed Lebanese-Syrian territory. What is NOT disputed is that it is NOT Israeli territory. Israel withdrew from other Lebanese territories that did not include that. Yet it remains occupying lands in contravention to UN res 242 and which would include Sheba farms (along with the Golan) and which it continually flouted along with many other UN resolutions. Glad that you use UN references because that would open a whole can of worms for anyone arguing in favor of Israeli positions.

Golan Heights themselves are disputed territory, and I've never claimed otherwise. It is, however, a dispute between Israel and Syria. Israel has totally left Lebanon according to international law, which I have proven against your claims that Hezbollah's acts are justified. As far as I could find, Lebanese claims for Shebaa Farms only started after May 2000. Pretty weird that when Israel annexed it in 1981 not a peep was heard from the Lebanese government.

Here is a Lebanese military map from 1966, showing the farms on the Syrian side (source):


It's clear, as I've just demonstrated, that Hezbollah would find some other patch of land no matter what. These organizations will always find something to justify their existence. If it wasn't Shebaa Farms it would've been some other area like Misgav Am or Margaliot.

Clearly you are clueless about the issue, and you just have an agenda supporting a totally unprovoked attack by Hezbollah and Lebanon.

BS. Golan is NOT disputed according to intl law, but occupied territory captured (stolen) by Israel that Israel "disputes" in the same way a bank robber would dispute his owning of the loot. Its a false dispute meant to gaslight dumb fucks into thinking otherwise. Pretty sure you are not a dumb fuck, just a zio-hasbarist in on Israels favorite mode of communicating that mostly involves shameless gaslighting.

Sheba was captured by Israel in the 67 war but illegally annexed by Israel later on but is still obligated to withdraw from according to international law and UN resolutions that state the "inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war".

Map or no map there have been differing Lebanese and Syrian positions on the issue over many decades. From the wiki you cite it also cites references that are contradictory and present both cases for belonging to Lebanon or Syria. Not exclusively Syrian as you try to frame your case. Again, from your referenced wiki :

Historical documents​

In 2002, Asher Kaufman of the Harry S. Truman Research Institute at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, discovered previously unknown documents in French government archives. In one, French litigants in a private dispute entered into a private commercial agreement[when?] that suggested that the border should put the Farms in Lebanon. Two other documents, from 1937 and 1939, were reports from the administrative councilor of south Lebanon and the head of the Services Spéciaux in the Syrian town of Quneitra. They noted a discrepancy between the border, as determined by the 1:200,000 Ottoman map, and their view of the "reality" in the region. Collecting "unofficial information" from "various sources," they concluded that in their view the area was Lebanese. Their conclusion was based on the facts that: a) some area residents paid taxes to Lebanon; and b) three or four sheep pens in the Farms belonged to residents of the Lebanese village of Shaba.[45]

In a book published in 1988, Moshe Brawer, an Israeli geographer, mentions two French maps published in 1932 and 1946, the former shows the farm area as being part of Lebanon while the latter shows the area as a Syrian territory.[46]

The Arab League (which includes Syria) backed Lebanon's claim with a communique issued at Arab League's 13th session in 2001, asking for "complete Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights to the line of 4 June 1967 and from the remaining occupied Lebanese territory up to the internationally recognized borders, including the Shab`a farmlands".[44]

Syria agrees with Lebanon that the Shebaa farms area is part of Lebanon (from one of the wiki links).

All above are from from the wiki you cite.

It's clear, as I've just demonstrated, that Hezbollah would find some other patch of land no matter what. These organizations will always find something to justify their existence. If it wasn't Shebaa Farms it would've been some other area like Misgav Am or Margaliot.

Whats clear is your are a deceptive gaslighter hoping others will not bother to look at what you present more closely. You have been schooled well in Zio-hasbara.

Harris speech after meeting Netanyahu (has Israelis pissed):

“Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters. What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, told reporters in remarks after her meeting with Netanyahu in Washington.

“The images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent,” Harris said.

This is a dumb and insulting take, I have openly cited my sources. I cannot cite everything and anyone is welcome to read them.

BS. Golan is NOT disputed according to intl law, but occupied territory captured (stolen) by Israel that Israel "disputes" in the same way a bank robber would dispute his owning of the loot. Its a false dispute meant to gaslight dumb fucks into thinking otherwise. Pretty sure you are not a dumb fuck, just a zio-hasbarist in on Israels favorite mode of communicating that mostly involves shameless gaslighting.
I did not mean to gaslight, I will say it differently and maybe my wording should have been more precise. What I meant was that the Golan Heights was part of Syria and not Lebanon. Lebanon is not a part of it, and never really was.

Sheba was captured by Israel in the 67 war but illegally annexed by Israel later on but is still obligated to withdraw from according to international law and UN resolutions that state the "inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war".
I've already stated that it was annexed in 1981... Again, my claim is not that Israel is occupying illegal lands according to the UN (indeed, they are), it's that according to international law none of it is part of Lebanon. Until 2000s, Lebanon has never claimed that any part of it was annexed as well.

Lebanon (as an independent country) did not exist as a country in 1932 and was only founded in 1942 and Syria (again, as an independent country) was founded in 1945 - so how are maps from the 30s relevant? The only relevant maps are those recognized by the international community. The maps in 1946, after the founding of both countries, show the Shebaa farms as part of Syria.

The Arab League (which includes Syria) backed Lebanon's claim with a communique issued at Arab League's 13th session in 2001, asking for "complete Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights to the line of 4 June 1967 and from the remaining occupied Lebanese territory up to the internationally recognized borders, including the Shab`a farmlands".[44]

Syria agrees with Lebanon that the Shebaa farms area is part of Lebanon (from one of the wiki links).
I've said - the claims have only been made since 2000s. It is in Syria and Iran's best interest to have some justification for Hezbollah's existence, and Syria has also gone back and forth between them agreeing that Shebaa is part of Lebanon and not agreeing. What do they care? The land is relatively small and unimportant and it gives an excuse for Hezbollah's existance. For example according to this, Assad in 2011 said that "The Shebaa Farms Are Syrian, Whatever Hezbollah Claims".

Things from 2000s have been nothing more than made up stuff to justify Hezbollah's existence. If Israel would have withdrawn completely from Shebaa Farms, some other piece of "disputed" land created by the "Blue Line" would have been found to excuse Hezbollah's existence. There's Point B1/Naqoura, or any other of the dozen points of dispute. It's endless. There is an international border the UN has declared and Israel abides to it.

In that article it exactly states: "...and is the predecessor of modern Lebanon."
Greater Lebanon became the Republic of Lebanon in 1943 with the same borders. You have nothing to show that territory was adjusted or re-distributed other than references to vague maps amidst numerous other contradictory maps. Dont focus on something while leaving out other vital info, incl Lebanon and Syrias positions in the Arab Leagues 2001 communique that insist on Israeli withdrawal from "remaining occupied Lebanese territory up to the internationally recognized borders, including the Shab`a farmlands".

Its not for you or Israel to decide to whom the Shaba farms belong to but a matter between Syria and Lebanon. And they appeared to have settled that in the Arab Leagues communique (which both countries are part of).

Well this is interesting....


Haaretz | Israel News

Israeli Military Police Raid Sde Teiman Prison, Detain Soldiers Suspected of Abusing Palestinian Detainee​

Israeli Soldiers reportedly confronted the police and barricaded themselves, pepper spraying the military personnel that arrived to detain the suspects ■ Sources said the soldiers were detained due to reports that they abused a Palestinian prisoner
Israeli Military Police officers raided the Sde Teiman detention facility on Monday and detained nine soldiers on suspicion of abusing a Palestinian detainee. According to a security source, the detainee was taken to a hospital with severe injuries to an intimate body part – injuries that left him without the ability to walk.

A security source added that a confrontation developed between military police personnel and some of the soldiers, who refused to evacuate and barricaded themselves in the facility. Some soldiers reportedly sprayed pepper spray at the military personnel that arrived to detain the suspects.
One soldier was recorded saying: "We will unite against the IDF arresting our fellow soldiers". Some soldiers reportedly sprayed pepper spray at the military personnel that arrived to detain the suspects.


Another soldier said: "The military police came to arrest us because we are responsible for Nukhba terrorists. Every Israeli should go out into the streets for us, I am not ready for this shame that they are arresting me- I gave my life for you, for my country."


The IDF said that "following suspicion of serious abuse of a detainee who was held at the Sde Teiman detention facility, an investigation by the military police was opened by order of the military attorney's office."
It seems people are a bit upset



just starting a civil war over the right to sexually abuse prisoners.....

I was kind of surprised at the story of the military police detaining the accused soldiers. Normally they couldnt give a shit about torturing and abusing of Pal prisoners, but it appears the story has been getting international attention.

Haaretz has reported that close to 30 prisoners from Gaza died at Sde Teiman, which attracted global attention and demands for an investigation. The Israeli and military justice systems are concerned about entanglements with the international courts...

Also the Daily Telegraph claims that Hammas sent a video of hostages being tortured due to whats happening to Palestinian prisoners.

So no wonder the military courts are taking action. Where otherwise abuse and torture is just business as usual for them.

As stated earlier, with the Israelis being master manipulators of disinfo and media deception, they seem to have duped the BBC in how not to properly present a story.

@Jonathan_K_Cook writes

BCC coverage of the attack on a football pitch in the Golan Heights has been intentionally misleading.The BBC's evening news entirely ignored the fact that those killed by the blast are 12 Syrians, not Israeli citizens, and that for decades the Syrian population in the Golan has been forced to live unwillingly under an Israeli military occupation.

I suppose mention of this context might complicate the story Israel and the BBC wish to tell – and risk reminding viewers that Israel is a belligerent state occupying not just Palestinian territory but Syrian territory too (not to mention nearby Lebanese territory). It might suggest to audiences that these various permanent Israeli occupations have been contributing not only to large-scale human rights abuses but to regional tensions as well. That Israel's acts of aggression against its neighbours might be the cause of "conflict", rather than, as Israel and the BBC would have us believe, some kind of normal, pre-emptive form of self-defence...

And war crimes continue with a duped MSM rarely paying attention to such things.

The Israeli army blew up a drinking water reservoir in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported on Monday.

A force from the 401st Brigade of the Armored Corps “blew up the central reservoir last week on the orders of the brigade commanders,” the Israeli daily Haaretz said.

One of the soldiers posted a video of the explosion on social media with the caption “Destruction of the Tel Sultan water reservoir in honor of Shabbat,” it noted...



With already insufficient water, epidemics spreading, declining hygiene, etc. This obviously puts Israel in a pickle because a war crime has been committed and taped by a dumb fuck IDF soldier.

Bastards. An errant Hezbollah rocket lands in Syrian territory (Golan) and kills Syrian civs and they "retaliate" regardless. The chutzpah of the zio-fuckin-state is mind-numbing.

Any opportunity to escalate on the flimsiest of pretexts they go for it. They have a history of that. Their 1982 invasion of Lebanon was not triggered by enemy rockets or attacks on Israeli civs, but by an attempted assassination of the Israeli ambassador to the UK.
