Australia’s Lebanese community is outraged at Israel’s attacks which have killed thousands and displaced millions.
Ahmad Malas, CEO of Muslim Aid Australia, told MWM, “This is the rollout of a doctrine tested in Gaza, now being exported to the region, and tolerated by the international community with absolutely no accountability.”
On [Israeli' Defence Minister Israel Katz’s comments, Malas said “He’s describing collective punishment and mass displacement as policy. These aren’t ‘fringe’ remarks; they are very lucid – they’re statements of intent, made publicly, with no apparent concern for legal consequence.”
Asked if he would use the word genocide to describe what is taking place in southern Lebanon, he replied, “When officials publicly declare intent to render a territory uninhabitable, invoke a prior campaign widely accused of genocidal acts as their template, and systematically destroy civilian life in what Amnesty International has deemed to be ‘war crimes’, the question isn’t whether the word applies.

Well the USA always likes to industrialize. Maybe they want to secretly industrialize genocide and make profit? If you are going to make all these weapons might as well give it to people who use it.

As horrific as that sounds you may be close to their motivation. But, it's not only the USA that profits from genocide, whether in the ME, Sudan or who knows where to next. The USA is the largest but many other countries are involved in the industry of killing.

Not a single country has tried illegal border expansions like this since 1939. So I disagree. The USA needs war because they created a $ trillion private military complex and it cannot stagnate under capitalism.

Not even close. Russia wants Ukraine. Israel secretly wants the entire middle east because of religious delusionments. They literally think they should control the entire middle east like backwards ass ISIS except with US approval. Thats why you have border expansions into Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. Whos is Poland?
