Israel is declaring genocidal intent to make Gaza look like Auschwitz and kill and drive out all Palestinians from Gaza.
Under international law, the crime of genocide is defined by “the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such,” as noted in the December 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Hezbollah is not sitting passively watching Israel completing its genocide on Gaza.
The real and vast scale on which Hezbollah is causing damage on Israel is hidden by the US media, but the Hindustan Times reports on it.
With over 500 attacks so far, Hezbollah is inflicting serious damage on Israel – all the time.
The Hezbollah attacks on Northern Israel are many times every day. See list of how much Hezbollah hits in just one day:
The video links above prove that Hezbollah is a strong force inflicting serious devastation on Israel with destruction of military buildings and Israeli soldiers every day.
Since October 2023, Israel has had to evacuate whole towns near the border with Lebanon.
Israel cannot sustain this. Israel cannot sustain its hurt pride of being hit daily by Hezbollah.
Israel also cannot sustain the long-term social and economic costs of having a mobilized force of more than 100 thousand soldiers permanently tied up in northern Israel.
And Israel’s citizens cannot bear that their military cannot keep them secure anymore, and never will be able to do so.
Benny Gantz, the First Alternate Prime Minister of Israel, has promised to “do something” about Hezbollah and Lebanon. Israeli Defense Minister Galant is equally foreseeing starting an Israeli war into Lebanon.
Israel’s Netanyahu and his generals have threatened mass-murder in Lebanon by turning Beirut into one more “Gaza”.
Hezbollah knows this and has therefore so far been holding back the scale of its attacks on Israel in order to protect civilians in Beirut from Israeli mass-killings.
But Hezbollah has also received Russian made Pantsir air defense systems. We may speculate, that Hezbollah with more Russian and Iranian supplies of air defense to protect Beirut is making itself ready for a big conflict with Israel, just as Israel on its side is preparing to attack into Lebanon.
This will expand to a very – very – big war.
And not only in the Middle East.
Russia’s president Putin has just made clear, that after dealing with Ukraine, Russia will also do something against Finland for joining NATO and thus breaking with Finland’s treaty-obligation to end the war post-1945 with an obligation that Finland must stay neutral forever. Meanwhile, in Asia, the US is stoking the Philippines to provoke their much-bigger neighbor China in the South China Sea. – and the US continues to build up for a war with China with arms deliveries to Taiwan.
Look forward to global war.
