Israel is openly ethnically cleansing Lebanon

Israel has openly admitted that it will not allow displaced Lebanese people to return home, which is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing.

UPDATE: Israel says displaced Lebanese people won’t be allowed to return home

So far, the IDF has displaced over one million people in Lebanon as it expands its illegal ground invasion.

So while we’re fighting Israel’s war, they displace 1 Million people in Lebanon and they won’t be allowed to return home. https://t.co/6EV4BZRei2 pic.twitter.com/4Nj2JKkumw

But the world should have expected this, given that the Zionists have forcibly displaced the entire population of Gaza since October 2023. Not to mention its previous invasions of Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon.

that’s called ethnic cleansing. https://t.co/Kic52sbf6q

Nakba

But Israel set the precedent right back in 1948 during the Nakba – when it ethnically cleansed 700,000 Palestinians and almost totally destroyed Palestinian society.

Another Nakba. https://t.co/3FH8xraXVr

This is ethnic cleansing. Under the Genocide Convention, it is a form of genocidal violence aimed at destroying the foundations that constitute a group. https://t.co/T3LOF9VJyv

The very creation of the Zionist state included the forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. So how could we ever expect a normal society that doesn’t rely on blood and violence to come from that?

Greater Israel

Israel has been talking about its ‘Greater Israel’ project since 1967.

It’s about invasion, occupation, genocidal war mongering expansionism of the likes not seen since Hitler pic.twitter.com/j8BEb9h2Uz

It is used to refer to the territories Israel illegally stole in 1967: the Palestinian territories, the Golan Heights in Syria, and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

However, the Zionists have also referred to it to as including all of Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan, along with significant parts of Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

You’re still called an alarmist anti-Semite if you correctly state their long-term trajectory is of slowly but surely taking over the entire levante region and beyond. https://t.co/JrUkvgXKds

In 2024, Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister, advocated for the expansion of their borders. He said:

It is written that the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus, invoking the “Greater Israel” ideology.

According to Middle East Eye, he then suggested that:

Israel would gradually grow to encompass not only all Palestinian territories but also parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Additionally, during Israel’s genocide in Gaza, an IDF soldier wore a patch showing a map of “Greater Israel” on his uniform. This map included parts of Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

For a long time now, Israel has made its intentions clear. It’s textbook colonialism wrapped up in ‘never again’.

textbook imperial invasion and colonisation, while the world sits back. “Never again” and yet it still happens right in front of our eyes https://t.co/MbcRsdgFnw

Now, Israel is carpet bombing Beirut in the same way it did to Gaza.

The illegal terrorist state has proven it can take out military officials with extreme precision – to the point of being able to target specific apartments in buildings.

Despite this, the genocidal entity still feels the need to wipe out whole apartment blocks – just because it can.

It has no regard for human life – at least not Black and Brown lives.
