Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”

Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

Israel considers Hezbollah its most serious immediate threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles that can hit anywhere in Israel. The group, which has thousands of battle-hardened fighters who participated in Syria’s 12-year conflict, also has different types of military drones.

Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.

    If Iran had genuinely intended to inflict harm upon Israel, it would have acted within the initial 24 hours following the Hamas incursion. This was when Israel was most vulnerable and disoriented, uncertain of the situation unfolding before it. This window presented the ideal opportunity to deploy Hezbollah for a response, long before the Americans rushed to protect the so called Powerful Israeli army, if they were they would not need protection.

      On the same take Israel could have killed off the whole Palestinian population several times over, if they really wanted to. But this doesn’t hinder you to spread the idea that Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, right?

        Israel already killed thousands of Palestinians during 75 years of occupation. There is no status-quo and there is no forgetting the RIGHT OF RETURN.

          Fuck off Nazi.

          Up to date, Hamas killed more Palestines than Israel. Go as far as throwing FATAH members from roof tops.

            Typical Israeli Hasbara propaganda. You recoil in horror when faced with a principled opposition to Israel’s Apartheid. And then, immediately afterwards, covers up you cowardice in lies about a different story.

        People tends to forgget that countries are not people with emotions or capacity for decision making.

        They are agruparions of people with motivations and ways of thinking highly variants. There are israely people who wants ro lever Palestine? Sure, but there is people who want peace too. At least one of the Hamas atack was pro Palestine. Same with Iran.

        The necesities of juggling so many conlicting ideologies make decions way less fast, optimal or consistent that people are comfortable to asume.

    So there is now a trend among genocide sympathizer were they exploit a flaw in the site, where they delete their own comment which also deletes from the thread, all your responses to their comment. When they dislike your response to their comment, they delete your response by deleting their comment.

    My comments in response to the person that called me a “fucking nazi” for pointing out Israeli war crimes.

    Every mother-fucking-time someone points out the fucking despicable evil Israeli state of apartheid for its war crimes, someone brings up fucking Hamas, even when i never fucking did.

    Fuck Hamas. Fuck the Israeli state of apartheid. Fuck Fatah. Fuck Islamic Jihad. Fuck the United states of Arrogance the number one sponsor of Israeli terror. Fuck Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, they are all fucking garbage.

    Israel’s Apartheid is a fucking fact!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

    Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.

    Amirabdollahian discussed during a meeting in Beirut Saturday the situation in Gaza and the region with the top Hamas official in exile, Saleh Arouri, and the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, Ziad Nakhaleh, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.

    With an eye toward Hezbollah, U.S. President Joe Biden has warned other players in the Middle East not to join the conflict and has sent American warships to the region and vowed full support for Israel.

    The Iranian foreign minister said he will be contacting U.N. officials in the Middle East because “there is still an opportunity to work on an initiative (to end the war) but it might be too late tomorrow.”

    The possibility of a new front in Lebanon brings back bitter memories of a vicious monthlong war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 that ended in a stalemate and a tense detente between the two sides.

      Agreed, we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleans Gaza. They are animals after all that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth right.

        I hope this was meant to be sarcastic. If so it doesn’t have enough overly self-aware mockery of the position you’re aping to make it clear.

          Sadly, I thought the /s was obvious. Very sadly I am now seeing with over a million Gaza children now experiencing war crimes, I didn’t expect to see this being anything other than an obvious reprehensible situation. Anyone green lighting apartheid and etheric cleaning is a nazi. Hard stop. Fact.

            I thought the phrase “we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleanse gaza” should’ve been enough as well, but the responses proved otherwise :/ It’s a shame there are people that will unironically say this.

          I am happy to take the upvote for my sarcasm/gaslight. As the husband of a Palestinian, I and am glad some people with a soul struggle to see ethnic cleansing as ok, Seeing Biden/ Cory Booker/ AOC/ Peloci green lighting genicide has jaded me.
