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.”

    Literal terrorism. Literal war crimes. This just happened.

    Even worse than a militant group, this is state-sponsored. Which is, of course, what legitimizes it in your sick minds. That’s the difference between “defending ourselves” and, “commiting horrific acts of terrorism.” Some intangible concept of legitimaticy that apparently gives carte blanche to commit genocide.

    I could be wrong, but I cannot ever recall seeing any articles about Hezbollah (or even Hamas for that matter) attacking humanitarian aid convoys. And I mean ever. And yet this isn’t even the second, or third time I’ve seen Israel do it in one year.

    Not many things are black and white in this world…
