    Lebanon’s, who Israel does not allow any military equipment for its army, is more or less siding with Israel to take their people’s land. It should be a warning to Iranians on getting an Israeli puppet as a new regime.

      Isntreal would have to jump over Jordan or Syria and Iraq somehow to take Iranian clay.

    A few years down the line, Israeli settlers come over in all this “unused land” , and a few years after that, a new buffer zone in Lebanon is needed to protect those settlers and so it goes

    They’ve occupied before, why not again? And slowly and steadily expand northward, genociding everything in their path, that’s why hezbola was created, and that’s why it’s needed.

      Why would they need to afford them? The whole point of territorial expansion is to gain land, resources and other forms of wealth. I think you’re referring to the occupations, in which case Israel is a wealthy developed country with a strong tech sector that also gets billions upon billions of US aid money annually. They also don’t overextend themselves, and many empires past and present have occupied many more people and much more land compared to their core population/area. I mean their only active military operations are on and off bombings in Gaza, more intense bombings in Iran and an actual invasion in Lebanon. This isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things, assuming they can control the fallout (which they’ve been somewhat failing at recently).

        Let’s be honest here. If they didn’t have the US covering their ass at every turn, and US money fuelling their economy, their territorial expansions, violations of sovereignty and human rights abuses would have caused them to have faced even a modicum of retribution. Essentially they’re a spoilt child, with a parent who can’t see that their kid is part of the problem. But then the parent is a big problem too so the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
