Israel has been bombing Lebanon effectively extending it's ethnic cleansing into the country.

It's shitty to say this but did they not see this coming? They've been right there watching gaza get flattened, why didn't they go into debt and beg Iran, China and Russia for hardware to defend themselves? Why wasn't there a rifle every rooftop and an rpg on every balcony?

I'm actually serious, I don't believe such a small country couldn't fortify their defenses to the point where this could have been avoided.

I don't claim to understand the conflict between the Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah, but if Communists in China could work with the Kuomintang to kick out Japanese fascists, they could have done more.

It's unfortunately entirely the fault of the Lebanese gov't which has put all its allegiance in the French (former colonial masters) and U.S. (current colonial masters) as though these were neutral third parties and not the allies/enforcers of "israel." The top level of the Lebanese gov't, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam & President Joseph Aoun, are traitors of the highest degree. The Lebanese Army, whether they like it or not, are armed and paid for by the U.S., and are forbidden from defending against "israel" by the Lebanese gov't. It is an unbelievably cucked, shameful situation because "israel" regularly massacres members of the Lebanese Army, who never return fire.

The equipment given to the Lebanese Army by the U.S., of course, is purposefully kept inadequate - but even so, was the Army not forbidden from defending the country from its most constant attacker, the Army could be of assistance to Hezbollah. Men with boulders & machine guns once defeated the Italian Fascists in a battle in Ethiopia - the Lebanese Army, despite its inferior equipment, doesn't have to be useless, yet it is made that way by active design. And that the Lebanese gov't prefers this to a situation where Lebanon could repel air attacks just illustrates theclevel of treason at play.

Unfortunately, there are some in Lebanon who are genuinely so stupid that they fall for the imperialist propaganda and choose factionalism over self-defense. There was recently a politician from the Lebanese Forces party, an offshoot of the Christian Falange, who was, along with his wife, murdered at his apartment by a targeted IOF strike. To show you how cucked some of these idiots are, there were people at his funeral saying "we've had it up to here with Israel & Hezbollah!" But Hezbollah aren't the ones who killed your guy, folks

Update on the situation from yesterday.

What people have to remember is that Lebanon had a 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990. It's not a state held together by its tradition of diversity like Syria, it's a state wracked by sectarian hostility that stems back to a dysfunctional sectarian government apparatus imposed by the French in the early 20th century.

Ah damn. That is really sad. Thanks for the detailed response.

Your summary adds some more context to why they're so dysfunctional. I'm realizing more and more that at some point even where I live, organizing will become a matter of life or death, and not just something I want to do to larp as a lefty.
