Raad criticizes Lebanese 'going to the beach and nightclub as the South is under attack', causing a stir

> Hezbollah MP and parliamentary bloc leader Mohammad Raad sparked controversy on social media when he called some Lebanese "reckless" and accused them of caring only about their comfort and relaxation, criticizing them for "going to the beach and nightclubs while the south is under attack."

> Lebanese Forces announce MP Pierre Bou Assi responded to Raad on X saying, “You classify Lebanese according to your taste. Who exactly are these vile people you're talking about? If you have the audacity, name them. And who authorized you to defend us outside the state and as representatives of the people? With all due respect, explain to us how you're defending Lebanon and supporting Gaza? All of Lebanon is collapsing due to your policies and your illusory and destructive divine victories. Have you strengthened any economic or social resilience in Lebanon? Do you think your Iranian rockets will feed the people?”

Armenia recognises Palestinian statehood, says Armenian foreign ministry
  • How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

    A state that is currently glorifying Nazi collaborators will automatically be dismissed as hostile to Jews and to Israel. Any action of theirs in related matters is therefore irrelevant.
    Unless they have a different goal. Like getting closer to states like Iran.

    And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I'll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

    How is that relevant to news sources?
    I was pointing out that Armenia is currently glorifying a Nazi collaborator, building statues of him and calling him a hero. Not in the past.

    Surprising, but sounds positive. A civil administration in Gaza sponsored by Arab countries and without the involvement of Israel? Won't that be a precursor to a Palestinian state?

Does he know that hundreds of Lebanese businessmen have set up offices on the island after he caused the [economic] downfall of Lebanon?" wrote the journalist, while calling on the UN "to take the necessary measures to protect the Lebanese."

    Three French Youths Arrested in Alleged Antisemitic Gang Rape of Jewish Girl, 12
  • Yeap. Although this "trend" isn't very new.
    Antisemites calling all Jews, Zionists, was done from even before the founding of the state of Israel. One example from before its founding, is of Muhammad Rashid Rida.

  • Three French Youths Arrested in Alleged Antisemitic Gang Rape of Jewish Girl, 12
  • How is the link tenuous?
    You could write the same thing about neo-nazi violence.
    There's a clear issue here.

    The reality is that this is a part of a global spike of cases against Jews since the 7th of October, who are targeted because they are Jews.
    It could've been someone else. Another Jew. Like the other French Jewish woman who was raped because she's a Jew and was done as "revenge" in the eyes of the perpetrator.

  • Three French Youths Arrested in Alleged Antisemitic Gang Rape of Jewish Girl, 12
  • The "Plenty of articles like those here." was a reply to the first part of your post.

    Yeah, it's receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.

    And the rape was specifically because she's a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she's a Jew.

    Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza
  • The "original zionists" were socialist and communists who tried to do things in the way of cooperation and peace, and were a defensive group.
    The offensive groups splintered off the original one after Arab riots and massacres of Jews.

  • Who is the IDF general who ordered tank fire on a kibbutz home with 13 hostages inside?
  • "Staff from the Israel Antiquities Authority aided in the investigation of the incident in Be'eri, and Haaretz received the IAA's findings. The archaeologists divided the structure into 13 sectors and each one was excavated, and its remains carefully screened, by a team that also included soldiers, in an effort to find body parts. Remnants of the munitions that were fired were examined by a ballistics expert.

    The IAA inquiry ruled out the claim that the firing of the second shell "ended the incident" by bringing about the death of the hostages. Concentrations of bodily remains were found in two places – in the kitchen/dining corner and the living room. The shell apparently struck the attic, which was separated from the living area below by a concrete ceiling. According to the archaeologists' investigation, the ceiling remained intact, and therefore "the shrapnel did not penetrate the kitchen through the ceiling." In both arenas there were casings from a Kalashnikov rifle, which the terrorists used. Accordingly, the IAA's conclusions are that "the firing was executed from inside the structure" and that "the area in which human remains were found was not damaged by outside fire." "
