Israeli forces killed 28 health care workers in Lebanon in just the past day, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a press briefing on Thursday. So far, Israeli forces have killed 1,600 people, including over 100 children, in the past two weeks in Lebanon.

Israel has openly adopted attacks on health care as a military practice in its genocide in Gaza — one of many tactics that seemingly violate international wartime law that Israel is now using on Lebanon.

Israel is carrying out intense shelling in Lebanon, killing nearly the same number of people in Lebanon in just 10 days as were killed in the 2006 Lebanon war,

Israel’s violence is also causing a major displacement crisis. (...) at least 1.2 million people across Lebanon, or over a fifth of the population, have been forcibly displaced amid Israel’s attacks.

It's shocking to me that there are still "people" that support this so called country.

Questioning the humanity of Jews and the legitimacy of Israel as a nation?

Found yet another Hamas antisemite on Lemmy!

More war crimes, for fuck sake.

[–] OutForARip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (5 children)

Why do the people of Israel never try to riot or protest against these war crimes they commit?

Israel has put great effort into tying judaism with zionism. The people that went to school in Israel (but also some jewish people abroad through jewish educational programs sponsored by Israel) learn that any attack on Israel is an attack on jews akin to the holocaust, and that all Palestinians want to kill all jews. Israel as an apartheid state has also been very attractive to racist people who do not care and even welcome a genocide of the people they consider to be ‘lesser’. Israel used that to advertise to such alt right people so that they can continue to violently colonise more Palestinian land. The people that do not condone apartheid and genocide were more likely to leave in the last decades (if they were able to) leaving those still there as a minority.

Netanyahu’s popularity rose with the invasion and large scale bombings of civilian targets in Libanon. That should tell you enough about what most Israeli’s think of the genocide.

They do. You just haven't bothered to look: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c722pyj1zm1o

Remember when the Israeli public did riot and protest and stormed a police office, because they wanted the military to have the right to gang rape random people.

I'm sure there are some in Israel who might not approve but I feel like the vast majority approves of this. You don't decide to live in Israel unless you're Zionist.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

The same is true of Palestinians and Hamas though: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/03/22/poll-hamas-remains-popular-among-palestinians/

So weird, how people rally to support those attacking the people who've recently done them grievous harm.

Have you seen videos of interviews with Israelis or translated some Hebrew Facebook posts? The whole society is sick. They would cheer this on and demand more violence.

[–] innermeerkat@jlai.lu 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

There are protests that are being severely repressed against Netanyahu's government. Don't generalize an entire people; it's the same propaganda as saying that all Gazans are terrorists.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

in this case you would imagine that it would be easy to show an organised anti war, pro peace movement in Israel?

[–] OutForARip@lemmy.ca 0 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

No.

There are protests against the hostages not being recused.

Show us a protest against the genocide and war crimes.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago

Simple Google search: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c722pyj1zm1o

There are tons of anti-war protests in Israel. You're just not hearing about them because you don't bother to look.

[–] DeadWorld@lemm.ee 20 points 4 hours ago

Jeeze, do they just target civilian locations exclusively?

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 hours ago

2nd verse, same as the 1st.

Wow, Terrorists are penetrating into the country in every aspect
