Bulletins and News Discussion from September 23rd to September 29th, 2024 - The War In The North

Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.

The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

  • Allegedly Pezeshkian has put out a statement saying that they were promised a ceasefire if they did not retaliate for Haniyeh's death and they were lied to. (Obviously)

    Goes to show how strong the demand is for a ceasefire. Every single time ive heard somebody reporting from Gaza it seems like every day the people are desperate to know when a ceasefire will arrive, making the demand on the side of the negotiators so high up as a priority but obviously the Zionists and US are just using it as a form of political warfare as thousands die.

    Also seeing reports of a thwarted terrorist attack in Iran today. If this new status quo becomes consolidated, it looks like the regional war started yesterday.

    • Why the fuck do countries keep falling for US lies. Why the fuck is anyone believing anything they say. Falling for the lies should have ended when Ukraine lied to Russia during talks. But it's worked like half a dozen times since.

      • Falling for lies should have ended when the rest of the world learned what happened to treaties with native people

        This was another very difficult question I had to ask my interview subjects, especially the leftists from Southeast Asia and Latin America. When we would get to discussing the old debates between peaceful and armed revolution; between hardline Marxism and democratic socialism, I would ask: “Who was right?”

        In Guatemala, was it Árbenz or Che who had the right approach? Or in Indonesia, when Mao warned Aidit that the PKI should arm themselves, and they did not? In Chile, was it the young revolutionaries in the MIR who were right in those college debates, or the more disciplined, moderate Chilean Communist Party?

        Most of the people I spoke with who were politically involved back then believed fervently in a nonviolent approach, in gradual, peaceful, democratic change. They often had no love for the systems set up by people like Mao. But they knew that their side had lost the debate, because so many of their friends were dead. They often admitted, without hesitation or pleasure, that the hardliners had been right. Aidit’s unarmed party didn’t survive. Allende’s democratic socialism was not allowed, regardless of the détente between the Soviets and Washington.

        Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence of a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported -- what the rich countries said, rather than what they did.

        That group was annihilated.

        • I think there is another side of this coin. The hardliners also tend to be targeted for murder early on. I suspect "peaceful" methods are often a self-preserving reaction people have, not wanting to get a target painted on them.

          However, the successful peaceful ones eventually get a target painted on them anyway.

      • yeah, like, you only get to do the whole "The West has once again fooled us with their duplicitous lies and schemes" thing if you're either a) relatively powerless compared to them and so you have to cut unfavourable deals to keep afloat, or b) it's the first time it's ever happened to you

        it's not a valid excuse anymore if you do it for the seventh time in a row. it's possible that you might just be a gullible moron.

      • Because America worship is a real thing and a lot of these lib leaders believe what they’ve been fed. They’ve been doing this since the colonial days with indigenous people but there’s always another sucker being elected/put into power who believes America is well-intentioned.

        • The US was able to fool Nkrumah who didn't realize his error until it was too late. I wonder if there's a generational aspect to this as well. Traore rightfully wants nothing to do with the West and he's just some dude in his mid-30s. Meanwhile, some 80 year old dude would've been born during the late 1940s when the US still had the (completely undeserved) PR from siding against the Nazis.

        • Is yes. The reform thought is always made into dogs by the west because of this.

    • What a fucking Moron.

      My God , Iranian Deepstate .. take my Energy .. or wait a week for Isreal to do it after 2 more Promised ... The Genius also wants to renegotiate the nuclear Pact ..

      Axis of Resistance seems to be blessed with a Naive Coward at the Top...
