Lebanese outraged at relatively comfortable conditions in futuristic-looking underground facility showcased in terror group’s propaganda video as country endures a crippling energy crisis; 'If Hezbollah can build tunnels, why can't they provide electricity and water to their communities?'
If Israel can build an international coalition to genocide Palestinians, why can’t they instead build an international coalition to provide electricity and water to the Palestinian communities? Again with this tunnels hasbara shit.
Because in my opinion the international community is generraly lazy. Supplying arms is easy. Making wars is easy. Helping people who really need that is a little bit more difficult. So the world would rather waste money on arms than help. While it may work in the short run the little bit more difficult thing would be long lasting and save countries trillions.
Yeah I was simply making the point about Israel being the primary cause for this conflict using the uncited and perhaps made up quote from the article.
“If Hezbollah can build tunnels, why can’t they provide electricity and water to their communities?”
The tunnels made or perhaps not made by HamasHouthi Hezbollah are always used as a reason to bomb.
Don’t forget that those tunnels were originally built to escape the blockade of Gaza imposed by Israel. They were originally built to smuggle goods in and out of Gaza.
Yep, can’t have anyone providing aid to the people they are genociding. More to the point, the existence of the tunnels is irrelevent. They may exist; they might not exist for a particular IDF campaign. Bringing them up in media is clearly a proven mechanism for manufacturing consent. No fact checking required, what the IDF says goes.
These tunnels exist long before Hamas, they were not used to smuggling weapons, etc. back then.
The blockade of the Gaza Strip has caused a shortage of certain basic products, especially construction materials, fuel, some consumer articles, and medicines and medical supplies.[8][9] Import restrictions, including of basic building materials, have led to the proliferation of tunnels under the border with Egypt.[10][11] As Israel limits the Palestinian freedom of movement, for most Gazans the tunnels are the only way to move from and to Gaza.
If the tunnels are used for military purposes then that is a reason to bomb them. That goes for any place. If they use a hospital as a weapons cache, that hospital becomes a legitimate target. Same if it is a mosque, a school etc. Using civilians as human shields is in itself a war crime.
Like any military would do no matter what the country. Using the tunnels to move weapons literally makes them a legitimate military target. Perhaps you need to read up on the rules of war.
Complete rubbish. Any side has a duty of minimalising civilian casualties. You cannot kill 10 civilians to destroy one combatant or piece of arm. Furthermore, Israel is an occupational force so any resistance against them is legitimate, unlike the occupation of Palestinian lands.
Unless of course you are a Nazi - as they used to do that during Ghetto uprising. And now they are doing it again, this time to inflict genocide on Palestinians.
The world has been sending them aid for decades. They received over 40billion dollars since 1990. You are so deluded in the head to believe any of what you say.

What kind of goods?

I suppose one war crime is worth another then, right?
Like the Nazis did during Ghetto uprising?

Yes they had schools and hospitals built using that money, which Israel bombed.
