Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”

      Oct 7 was the pretense Bibi needed to start his genocide. Why would they stop it?

      Same thing as George W. Bush (moreso Cheney and Haliburton) wanting war in the middle east and letting 9-11 happen despite actionable intelligence beforehand.

      Agreed. Mossad spends a lot of time and huge amounts of money spreading myths of how capable they and the Israeli military are. A good chunk of Israeli military are conscripts serving short terms. Israel is powerful because they have bought off western powers, not because they are in any way a power unto themselves. If the western powers would start prosecuting Israeli spies and theives itd be a good start, and the world would quickly see they arent scary against anyone with decent funding.
