Mikati denounces 'destructive plan' amid intense Israeli strikes
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced a "destructive plan" amid intense Israeli strikes Monday on east and south Lebanon and as Israel's military said it attacked some 150 Hezbollah targets.
"The continuing Israeli aggression on Lebanon is a war of extermination in every sense of the word and a destructive plan that aims to destroy Lebanese villages and towns," Mikati told a cabinet meeting. He urged "the United Nations and the General Assembly and influential countries... to deter the (Israeli) aggression".

Its tragic to have a "leader" who do nor dare to tell the truth. The current situation is a diaster brought upon us by Iran and their stooge in Dahiye. Again our grandparents, parents, siblings and children are left paying the price. Yes, Lebanons strenght was in it weakness, but then militant palestinians and later on Hezbollah came along. Weaker that they self imagine, but still able to create hell for peace and prosperity-minded people.

We, Lebanese, Palestinians, and Syrians, share the same DNA as the ancient Hebrews. Lebanon is mentioned in the Bible over a hundred times. Never, in history, has any people, tribe, or kingdom sought to exterminate another as the Zionists do. Our problems began in the 1930s when thousands of European settlers were shipped from Germany to our lands by Hitler, and it only worsened after WWII. Iran, Hezbollah, the PLO, Hamas—these are not the root causes of the problem; they are merely symptoms.

Lets get rid of the symptoms, then. We can deal with the cause later..

The notion that groups like Hamas or Hezbollah are the root of the problem is absurd and ahistorical. They are reactions to decades of dispossession and occupation. Blaming the oppressed for their resistance while ignoring the original, violent cause of their suffering is a classic tactic of colonial apologists. If you want to understand the real roots of the conflict, look at the Zionist settler-colonial project, not at the defensive mechanisms that arose as a response to it. What are your plans for the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon?

Your reinvention of history needs a bit more grounding:
"Adolf rose to power as the leader of the Nazi Party, becoming the chancellor in 1933 and then taking the title of Führer und Reichskanzler in 1934"
"Muslims and Jews clashed in Jerusalem and other cities from August 16 to September 2, 1929"
What comes after cannot cause what came before, even if you could prove that down is up.

Let’s face the reality you’re trying so hard to avoid. The Zionist movement—backed by British, the NAzi and later European powers—is a colonialist enterprise, plain and simple. European settlers, displaced by a fascist regime, were used to colonize and displace Palestinians. To argue otherwise is to rewrite history to suit a narrow, self-serving narrative. The Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians didn’t start this conflict—they were dragged into it by external powers who saw their lands as ripe for settler colonialism.

Your attempt to cherry-pick historical events and present them as somehow invalidating my original post from Yesterdat is not just intellectually dishonest—it’s a transparent effort to distract from the undeniable facts. The European-backed Zionist settler-colonialism that began in the late 19th century, was accelerated by Nazi Germany’s policies in the 1930s, and culminated in the Nakba of 1948, is the root cause of the ongoing conflict in our region. Denying this reality is not only historically inaccurate but morally indefensible.
So no, history isn’t on your side. If you’re going to attempt to refute my post, at least bring an argument that’s grounded in facts, not half-baked soundbites.
