    I understand why they’ve been attacking Palestine. But why are they attacking Lebanon?

      In 2021 Netanyahu was indicted for bribery, fraud, corruption, breach of trust, etc. The trial is actually still ongoing, but basically as long as he’s Prime Minister, he’s probably not going to see the inside of a cell.

      So in order to stay Prime Minister he needs to keep his coalition of various nationalist religious conservatives together and he needs to not have another election.

      As long as there’s a war going on, he can postpone elections, and as long as he’s clearing land for settlers he’s appealing to those same nationalist religious conservatives.

      So basically he’s trying to start a forever war so he doesn’t go to jail.

      Same reason. Colonisation, genocide, white supremacy - or in other words “Zionism”.

      It’s just a different form of Nazi ideology.
