Israel’s former prime minister, Naftali Bennett, is facing a fierce backlash and accusations of spreading “propaganda” to legitimise attacks on civilians after alleging that Lebanese households are being used to hide rocket launchers for Hezbollah.
“Many Shiites in Lebanon have a unique revenue stream. In their home, they have a special ‘Rocket Launcher Room’. They’re paid monthly rent by Hezbollah to host this launcher and be prepared to shoot rockets at Israel communities on demand,” Naftali Bennett claimed on Monday in a post on X, without providing evidence.”
Many compared Bennett’s post to false claims made by Israeli officials throughout their assault on the Gaza Strip.
"In Gaza - the world taught the Israeli political elite that any and all violence of theirs, however gruesome/illegal/inhumane will be forgiven, so long as they can string together any argument, however flimsy/fabricated/embarrassing. They are now applying this lesson in Lebanon,” said another X user.
It’s an identical playbook they used in Gaza and as before there is no evidence of that. Israel is a terrorist state committing a genocide, but they got US as an accessory with their unconditional support, so it’s all good.
Same play book as before. The civilians are their targets
I hate stereotypes, but it must be said: The one sure way to know an Israeli politician is lying is to check if their lips are moving.
I presume there are at least some Israelis who are opposed to genocide, right? Two or three at least?
