Lebanon does have the headwaters and part of the watershed of the Jordan River and shared ground water aquifers with Israel and West Bank... If Israel loses desalination they rely on ground water and surface water. Ground and surface water can be cut off. Its a karst system below that moves a lot of water beliw and above. They can be blocked upstream.
That was the threat used back in 1967 from what I understand, and a motivating factor for…1967, from what I understand.
Kept Israel & Palestines (East & West) in water for the last over 1/2 a century. For the cause of whatever… do you think the Palestinians (West Bank & Gaza flavours both) wouldn’t have been martyred to also ditch Israel, etc…?
Control is control. There are few borders that can be delineated from space. This one is ased on irrigation.
No idea. Perhaps asking the Palestinians, ‘cuz not all Palestinians are Hamas, but all Hamas…etc…? But which Palestinians to ask? Maybe the ones that want to exist in Hamas free bubbles? Maybe that’s too simple without a vetting system set up by Hamas though?
Zionists....you just cant trust themIsrael has for years campaigned against the UNRWA, the main organisation delivering humanitarian aid to HAMAS/Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and caring for Palestinian refugees in other countries, claiming it has connections with “terrorists” and lobbying for its closure.
Earlier this year, Israel accused the agency of employing staff who participated in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on Israel, pushing more than a dozen international donors to suspend support.
A UN-authorized “independent” review found that Israel had not provided credible evidence for its accusations and most donors have since reinstated funding to UNRWA. There is a “separate” investigation into the October attack itself, by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services.
Gaza’s (= HAMAS’s) Ministry of Health said at least 38,794 people have been killed and 89,364 wounded in Israel’s war on the enclave…which is in response to….???
The death toll in Israel from the Hamas-led attacks in October is estimated at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.

Of course you can. They're diplomats, appointed by politicians! They couldn't possibly deceive or connive!
Yep. The Gaza War has led to another debate about what motivates Iran’s ruling elite. Washington has proffered primarily one realist theme: The mullahs wanted to disrupt the diplomacy aimed at Israeli-Saudi normalization, so they helped Hamas unleash a war to awaken the Arab street. Confronted with popular anger, the Arab potentates, they thought, would retreat.
Who wants you to believe the 3 terms are inseperable?Some argue anti-Zionism is not the same as anti-Semitism, and that it's wrong to mix up anti-Jewish prejudice with legitimate disagreement with the actions of the Israeli state…& thus the justification of attacking or defacing Jewish schools, daycares, synagogues, restaurants or book stores that happen to be owned by Jews in Canada and elsewhere…’cuz Zionists.
(I’m not saying it’s happening in this case, but I’m not saying it it’s not happening out in the world as a whole, that it’s been widely argued that the term "Zionist" has, in some circles, become a code word for "Jew" and that bigotry against Jewish people has been expressed using the language of anti-Zionism)
The “cool kids” have even shortened it down to just “Zio” or “Zio’s” for plural.

Who believes that those using the terms always separate them? That they’re using the Miriam Webster definitions consistently and not as political doublespeak like “colonial settlers” and others like that?

But this ignores a fundamental motivation of Iran’s theocracy: anti-Semitism. At least three generations of radical Iranian clerics have viewed Israel as illegitimate, usurping sacred Islamic lands in the name of a pernicious ideology advanced by history’s most devilish and stubborn people.
Using the language of French Marxism, they call Israel a Western “colonial-settler state,” and they believe Jews guide American imperialism in the Middle East. In this struggle between good and evil, Muslims have a religious obligation to resist Israel and global Jewry.
The founder of the revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, set the standard for the Islamic Republic of Iran. In his book “Islamic Government,” he wrote, “From the very beginning, the historical movement of Islam had to contend with the Jews, for it was they who first established anti-Islamic propaganda and engaged in various stratagems, and as you can see, this activity continues down to the present.” He depicted Jews as distorters of the Quran, financial hoarders, and agents of the West.
(I’m sure he means “Zion/Zionism/Zionist” in there somewhere ‘cuz Jews, etc…?)
Who’s the push behind Hamas? Or Hezbollah? Or the Houthi’s? Etc…? And because Zionists/Zion/Zionism like they’re not say’n about? Who’s supplying the rockets (aside from “Achmed’s Home Hardware!”) and money other military goodies or logistical support to the anti-Jew factions in the Middle-East (aside from UNRWA) ???

Myself and many many many more. You seem onligated to combine them, why? What do you owe Zionism, Israel or Judaism? Did they do something nice for you?
