Keep on blaming the victims, as if you would have any say the day armed and organized militias would come into your neighborhood to do the same.

The person you are replying to is probably someone who won't understand that the genocide Israel is perpetrating, the settler colonialism, the systemic abuses and torture and rape of prisoners, the invasion are all justified somehow.

Some people cannot take a step back and consider other perspectives, unfortunately.

Edit: see? Their response, "I like it"? This person is deeply troubled and misanthropic.

Israel isn't colonizing Lebanon or abusing and torturing Lebanese. But Lebanon certainly abuses prisoners: https://www.hrw.org/report/2013/06/26/its-part-job/ill-treat...

So by your logic it is fair game to attack Lebanon due to its treatment of prisoners?

Lebanon also commits war crimes by firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli population centers.

Why is your rage so selective?

> Israel isn’t … abusing and torturing Lebanese.

Israeli-backed army ran a torture center in south Lebanon for years.

Given the level of bloodthirst in Israeli society currently, and the accounts of torture of Palestinians in Israeli custody, I’m afraid that something similar is just around the corner for Lebanese as well.

This was from 1999 and it was run by the SLA who were Lebanese. But yes, it was not great and guess what, Israel withdrew from South Lebanon in 2000!

But Lebanon and other Arab countries still routines arbitrarily imprison and torture their citizens.

Have any of these countries poisoned Israel's farms from the air?

I didn't say this was all happening in Lebanon. The West Bank, Gaza, prisons across Israel. And now, an invasion and razing civilian lives in Lebanon.
