  • They also know what collaborating with the Nazis is like.

    I haven't heard about this before, so I can't argue about it at this point.

    Then you say:

    So I don’t think Armenia’s decision will have much of an effect.

    How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

    And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I'll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

    Zionist-Nazi Collaboration and the Holocaust-A Historical Aberration? Lenni Brenner Revisited - Edinburgh University Press

    How Zionists collaborated with the Nazis, in conversation with Tony Greenstein | EI Podcast

    we speak with activist and blogger Tony Greenstein, a veteran of the Palestine solidarity movement in the UK, about his new book "Zionism During the Holocaust: The Weaponization of Memory in the Service of State and Nation."

    Collaboration in German-occupied Poland - wiki

  • Of course not. Read again what I wrote. If that's still what you get from my reply, we got nothing to talk about.

  • Armenians know what genocide means.

    So it looks that the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations. Hope I'm counting correctly and didn't leave out a country, cause it looks like the relevant wiki page [International recognition of the State of Palestine] has not yet been updated. Not even for Ireland's recognition of Palestine and that happened last month. Soon I hope.

    For me the question remains. What could make the remaining white colonialists and Zionist settler colonialists change their minds and finally recognize Palestine, so that a 2-state solution is implemented.

  • Hahaha no, this one was addressed. I'm talking about the second comment, the one with the link of Zionist editing of wikipedia. I know, should have said "the way you keep ignoring my input is so funny"

  • Why, exactly, do you think that the country Cyprus is responsible for RAF Akrotiri?

    Decolonization processes are difficult. For Cyprus this process started in 1959, if I remember correctly. Within these processes having governments that are in favor of western imperialism does not help towards the ousting western military bases. I'm not saying no genuine effort too place during all these decades. Also, many people have been out on the streets for this, but among Cypriots in reality there is no consensus on the matter since many want to keep all ties with the UK.

    [Edit: I have not mentioned how much UK does not want to leave those military bases since it was not part of the question]

  • It is not leased from the Cypriot government.

    Who said anything about a lease?

  • That does not answer my question but that's ok I suppose?

    Anyways, this list does not include many Israeli lobbies, newspapers etc from what I see. Times of Israel is not there. Impressive.

    I'll add a relevant comment I did earlier so I'll just copy-paste it:

    Also, please keep in mind when using wiki links on anything (even loosely) related to Israel, that it has been edited by Zionists. This part of wiki doesn't work like the rest. See a 2 min video below from13 years ago.

  • Oops I forgot this one

    • Cyprus is not a colony. Not anymore. It's a country that chooses to have these bases there, and they have to take responsibility for their choices.
  • This article is based on a Guardian report and has some quotes. Is there something specific you find conspiratorial? Do you think for example it is unfair of them to say:

    Smotrich has called for the destruction of Gaza, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the strip, and its annexation as well.

  • why Hezbollah would view Cyprus as a target

    • Actually, according to Reuters "Nasrallah also threatened Cyprus - the EU member state in closest proximity to Lebanon, with which it has cordial relations - accusing it of allowing Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises."
    • In the threat local airports were mentioned, not only military bases
    • If you take a look at the wiki page of RAF Akrotiri they talk about several incidents in support of Israel, starting in the 1970's. For incidents that specifically involved Lebanon, the answer would be in the sections: 2000s–2010s and Controversies.
    • It could also be hint for other military bases in area, willing to have similar approach
  • I have to admit I thought RAF Akrotiri was an American base within the British one. By checking it out, you were correct to mention the term "used". And I was wrong.

    Also, I think what you mentioned earlier is the key element:

    American units are based there

  • And there’s been no hints for participating any further

    They have US military bases there and that's why Lebanon made that threat, and more specifically Nasrallah said:

    "The Cypriot government must be warned that opening Cypriot airports and bases for the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon means that the Cypriot government has become part of the war and the resistance (Hezbollah) will deal with it as part of the war" [source]

    Also you said:

    Imagine yelling at someone who’s only ever done positive things for your people.

    I'm sorry but this example is irrelevant. The threat does not come from Palestine, it comes from Lebanon.

  • I wish reporting like this would bother to define what they mean when they say children.

    I'm pretty sure that they define children like the rest of the planet does.

  • I think if they do a full-blown invasion, they’ll find out that Hezbollah (and quite possibly the regular Lebanese military) is a much bigger, experienced, and sophisticated (...)

    Oh they know well. Israel has invaded Lebanon twice (at least?) and both times they failed in a humiliating way.

  • Cyprus was caught off guard by comments from Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday that the island could be a target if it permitted Israel to use its military facilities in the event of an attack on Lebanon.

    So Cyprus was caught off guard because they were told "if we get attacked from your soil, you could be a target". This doesn't sound very complicated, why are they perplexed?
