Aside from the obvious, has anyone noticed, that those stairs lead to a wall?

Any day now, "AI" will stop producing this garbage. They just need another trillion dollars...

This chair appears to have the reflection of a back, but not an actual back.

Like Netanyahu's politics?

So non military Israelis are invading a soverign country and claiming land? I hope Lebanon treats them as the invaders they are.

Lebanon is not in Israel. Not. Their. Land.

Neither was the Golan Heights.

They still are not!

Doesn't even stop them for doing it in Gaza and West Bank. That piece of land, that Israel we know now, is a combination of land grab through purchasing and warfare.

They are still fighting over the stories in a 4000 year old book.

I think the wealth of nations is not that old

They're going to build right up to the river they told everyone to get north of.

The only thing being pointed out there is that the settler group Uri Tzafon is not directly associated with the Israeli government. The article posted here doesn't say that they are.

Sure, this fringe group may be taking advantage of Israel's incursion into Lebanon for their own purposes, but the fact that the Israeli government doesn't say "Hey, cut that shit out," is telling. I would further expect that when "settlers" (occupiers) decide to take up residence in another country and then rightfully get kicked the fuck out of that country by force, that the Israeli government/military might then protect them in Lebanon. All while still saying "Oh, they're not at all affiliated with the Israeli government!"

It sure is. It’s telling the exact same story the West Bank has seen play out for decades now.

Isn't that way we call them settlers?

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

For me settling is primarily about stealing land. I'm not so concerned about the "legal status" of that theft under the thieves' regime.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world -2 points 23 hours ago

My point was that settlers are technically not considered Israeli.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

They’re definitely Israelis. Are they agents of the government? Well this is a little subtler than you might think. No they are not on government payroll. Yes they hang on their government’s week to week, mile by mile policy posture toward settlement and constantly take as much as they can get away with without alienating that government. It’s such a tight relationship that yes, you should effectively hold the government responsible for their behavior.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

It seems I am wrong. I thought certain settler groups weren't Israeli citizens to begin with.

....

The movement’s founder, Professor Amos Azaria, told Middle East Eye that: “Having a proper border based on the Litani river, or the Zahrani [river], will not only allow proper control over the border, but will in fact shorten the border as it becomes more of a straight line.

You can easily Google that guy

But maybe your problem is the source?

Do you trust an Israeli news agency more? Not sure why anyone would, but here you go.

Forced gentrification is a thing the racists and weirdos want to do now huh?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago

Its's been an Israeli tactic for 50 years now.
