Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully and stay on topic

Western media is already working hard to manufacture consent for hitting civilian infrastructure in Beirut.
 
I find it remarkable that everyone has just pretend this simply isn't happening anymore.

Will it actually take a serious incident for regional and international actors to take this seriously?
 


This is the article that enraged the Lebanese government. It's a copy of their article about the Iraqi WMDs in 2003. Warmongering propagandists in full fart.
 
The Israeli’s and USA are going to get the war with Iran that they have longed for.

Violent governments with hungry weapons industries is a recipe for disaster.

Wait, are you guys insisting this is not true?

Just because it's a) being used for nefarious purposes by Israel and b) propagated by a bad-faith actor (Israel) doesn't mean that it's not true.

I believe nothing that the Telegraph writes specially about propagating wars in the middle east.

Ok, but what about the fact that it's been common knowledge that Beirut airport is under de-facto control of Hezbollah (as all two surrounding towns are basically Hezbollah controlled towns)?

The 2008 Lebanon civil war (if you can call it that) was literally caused because the government discovered that Hezbollah had set up secret cameras around the airport to monitor smuggling channels (allegedly, amongst other things) and the Lebanese government moved to take control of the airport and fire the Airport head of security, who was suspected to be a Hezbollah member.

Hezbollah in response blocked all passageways in and out of the airport via the two towns and then launched an offensive into Beirut itself. Fighting then ensued and by the end of it Hezbollah had taken control of most of Beirut.

The Lebanese government had to back down and as part of the deal, had to reinstate the Airport head of security and look the other way regarding the airport itself.

EDIT - this is a massive oversimplication of course, as tensions were already rising, but the airport crisis was the spark that actually triggered shooting in Beirut between Hezbollah and the government.

Ok, now lets suppose that is true. Why the telegraph decided to post an article about it if that had been on going since before 2008, so it had more than 16 years to post this article?

Large parts of Beirut is under control of Hezbollah, they use the Airport sure to funnel their weapons but they do not need to storage weapons in the airport itself, their is no evidence of this claim and it is as clear as the Iraqi wmd campaign in pro Israeli media to make the airport a legitimate target and kill thousands of civilians.

And also I would not believe my own name if the telegraph would tell me my name.
