@52 The IDF began destroying the bridges across the Litani River in Lebanon before the loathsome Bezalel Smotrich uttered these blasphemies, so the Likud Cabinet had this idea of permanent expansion in mind before their brutal and illegal offensive against the people of Lebanon.
In the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the IDF looked the other way when their Christian militia proxies murdered captured unarmed Palestinian and Muslim fighters. This well-documented barbarity was known as the "Sabra and Shatila Massacre" and was the nascence of Lebanese Hezbollah. The previous Shia movement "Amal" was too weak and ineffective in resisting the Israeli invaders. Israeli DM Ariel Sharon was at first punished for allowing this war crime, then brought back into government as a minister-without-portfolio.
Lebanon's previous colonial master and historic protector, France, deployed the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier to the Middle East, but is doing nothing to defend the people of Lebanon from Israel's onslaught.
This is why the Lebanese people no longer consider France a friend or ally and youngsters speak English in the cafes and universities when years ago French was their second language.
The "suckers and losers" in this illegal war are the hardworking American taxpayers who fund a fascist junta here in the US and a vicious ethnic cleansing regime in the Middle East.
