Israel currently occupies 12% of total Lebanese land (up from 0% pre-October 8th 2023) and is bulldozing it into a new depopulated DMZ minefield like they've done with the 75% of Gaza they occupy.1.5 million Lebanese have been displaced and live in squalor in makeshift camps in the north of the countryIsrael continues to bomb Lebanon daily. Thousands of Lebanese have died since the "ceasefire".Yet Hezbollah does NOTHING. Their leader makes speeches from his hidden bunker and promises retribution that will never come but otherwise total silence. Even when Israel bombs them directly, they do not return fire. They just take it. The last Israeli soldier in Lebanon was months ago and it was from an unexploded bomb they themselves droppedWtf is going on with them? This is disgraceful. They are supposed to protect Lebanon yet caused this current catastrophe but refuse to fight on as required by them.
>>544949562they will do whatever they are paid to do. as of now they are paid to "stand down". kinda obvious
>>544949562HisBvllAss are built for BIC
>>544949562They were infiltrated to the bone, which is why the pager attack and all the assassination was so successful, lots of Hezbollah members were agents, every week or so one gets caught, I blame the terrible free falling economy since 2020 which made money from Mossad enticing, and Iran not paying enough, I've personally lost two people, a mother and her 16 year old daughter in one of these assassination airstrikes.
>>544949562The official government of Lebanon is anti Hezbolah. They decided they're not gonna intervene until the government caves and admits they need them
>>544949923The government including the pro-Hezb parts, Nabih Berri etc, are always in contact with the US embassy, it's why Beirut hasn't been bombed since April.
>>544949888I went to ACS Beirut in the late 90s. Sorry things are so bad. I remember going to Verdun to watch movies as a kid and skating on the Cornishe. Beautiful country.
>>544949562>Why has Hezbollah just given up?That's what happens when you're defeated on the battlefield and your forces are beyond decimated. Not only in Lebanon itself, but in Syria. You remember Syria right? Where Hezbollah with Iranian support committed genocide against the Sunni and drove millions from the country into europe? Not your fault if you didn't know that last point. That simple truth is heresy on /pol/. Hezbollah doesn't "protect Lebanon" Hezbollah protects Hezbollah.
>>544950002Thank you anon, Beirut in the late 1990s was the best of times, no civil war, city was being rebuilt, and no endless political strife, wish we could go back, unfortunately the uncertainty of what is coming next in this war is getting to everyone.
>>544950189yeah I remember, I used to play half-life multiplayer and quake multiplayer at an Internet café near AUB. Good times for sure.
>>544950189And then Hezbollah assassinated the man responsible for that revival with a truck bomb.
