Is that a joke?
How does a Zeteo article showing exactly which genocidal tactics Israel has been using is Gaza for years are now also being used in Lebanon considered “downplaying Israel’s crimes” in anyway. If anything, you are the one downplaying Israel’s crimes in Lebanon.
The genocidal intent and tactics are clear
Waiting until a genocide is complete before calling it such goes against the entire reason the definition exists in the first place
Strange, because reading this sounds like you don’t even understand what the mode of production or the contradictions fundamental to capitalism are. I find it hard to believe you’ve read or listened to his works but to each their own
Economist Richard Wolff has a lot of material on YouTube that explains the differences between Capitalism and Socialism as a mode of production, in addition to how this relates to how China’s economy differs from those like America. Assuming you are genuinely interested in learning more
Malcolm X posed as MLK j(oesta)r’s stand is an amazing image lmao
Yeah dude, for sure
In May 1958, Israel was invited to a meeting of the Council of Europe. After that, a special commission was set up to discuss Israel’s possible participation in the NATO economic procurement program.[5] After that, Israel began to supply weapons and military equipment to the countries that are part of this organization.[6][7]
In December 1987, Israel signed a memorandum with the United States on the status of a major non-NATO ally. This status was awarded by the US administration to particularly close allies with whom it maintains strategic relations but is not a member of the organization.[8][9] This step was initiated by Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[10] The memorandum strengthened ties between the two countries in the field of defense research, development and procurement. It also included logistical support for Israel. The document compared Israel’s status in the United States with that of a NATO member, which allowed it to participate in and gain access to U.S. security development programs. The memorandum also simplified the access of the Israeli defense industry to tenders from NATO countries. This was supposed to make it easier for them to participate in the tenders of the NATO countries.[11]
In November 2017, Israel and NATO signed an agreement on the mutual exchange of security information.[25]
On February 9, 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between Israel and NATO. This agreement gave Israeli companies the opportunity to participate in NATO tenders.[26]

A few weeks ago, Commander of NATO Maritime Command Vice Admiral Keith Blount said, “Israel has been an important partner to NATO for more than 20 years as well as an active member of [the] Mediterranean Dialogue.”

not to mention Operation Gladio
If you think any of that is awesome, that’s a huge yikes
Settlers were always all of those things tbf. Even the dehumanizing propaganda and ethnic cleansing tactics have barely changed
AJ has more details
It’s not too surprising that this story has been picked up mostly by Israeli outlets, ignoring both the complete control of Aid that Israel has had deliberately restricted for years (and decades before Oct 7) as well as the Israeli-backed gangs that have historically disrupted aid
Once the wounded are treated we may have more info on what exactly they were planning, and if any government backing was involved. But I think them being vigilantes makes more sense currently
In addition to weapons, crewmembers had bulletproof vests, rifle scopes and camouflage fatigues
They clearly weren’t smart but it’s obvious they had lethal intentions. If anything was trying to be smuggled it would have been confiscated, yet nothing of the sort was found. plus there are far easier ways to smuggle through legal channels than on an armed unauthorized speedboat. Nothing about the smuggling angle holds up
Smugglers that were headed to Cuba, armed, and instigated hostilities with Cuban ships by firing upon them? That makes zero sense.
You seem to be having fun making up whatever fantasy scenarios that you like, so keep at it
Firing on Cuban ships, did you not read what happened?
why do you think they were armed? and opened fired on Cuban ships
yeah no, that’s a bunch of Zionist bullshit
the IRGC and Hezbollah are not the ones committing genocide, nor are they the ones assisting Israel in any way, just the opposite. Shifting the blame to them is false and only serves Israeli hasbara.
In Israel’s own words, both the Gaza offensive and Lebanon offensive are both genocidal
