Netanyahu's insanity between Gaza and Lebanon

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” (Einstein)

This expression carries many meanings indicating the insanity of Netanyahu and his fascist Zionist government, through their insistence on marketing the genocidal war in Gaza under the pretext of self-defence, eliminating the Hamas movement and recovering hostages held by the Resistance factions. Based on this, he has let loose in the Gaza Strip, killing, destroying, displacing and starving the Palestinian people, the indigenous people who have the right to the land.

Netanyahu and his fascist government are doing the same thing in Lebanon, revealing their true nature, and reminding the world of the extent of their brutality and the extent of their barbarity in committing massacres and slaughters against civilians, against Lebanese women and children. They continue bombing residential homes and civilian sites and are repeating the same genocidal war that the Occupation is waging in the Gaza Strip, as it has divided southern Lebanon into “squares” and called on civilians to leave their homes and villages that contain weapons and missiles belonging to Hezbollah according to its claims. It spreads panic by targeting civilians in order to displace them, accusing the residents of the south of colluding in the storage of weapons through fake images and videos using artificial intelligence, with the aim of weakening the Resistance environment, emptying the villages of their residents, and seeking to establish a buffer zone.

OPINION: Lebanon today, Jordan tomorrow?

What is happening today in Lebanon is not different from what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The barbaric aggression is the same, the legendary steadfastness is the same, the battle is the same battle, and the crimes of the Zionist enemy against civilians in Lebanon are a continuation of the war of genocide waged by the fascist Occupation entity against the Palestinian people, under American support and in the face of suspicious international silence, with the aim of breaking the will of the Resistance and dissuading support for the steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza.

What threatens the Occupation the most is not only the unity of the arenas and the development of the Lebanese Resistance’s capabilities, but also the connection and fraternal relationship between the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance groups. The Resistance in Gaza has persevered while the Resistance in Lebanon imposed new and similar rules of engagement, thus ending and shattering the image of the Occupation and its fascist army, despite its massacres and genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and its unprecedented bombing and raids on the southern regions, the Bekaa, and the southern suburbs of Beirut, in Lebanon. The Occupation claimed to be targeting Hezbollah sites and warehouses, while harming huge numbers of victims in a short time, and the families who perished with all their members under the rubble. All of this reveals the falsity of the Occupation’s narrative.

The aggression against Lebanon is not only an escape from the Gaza war, but it is a continuation of the Occupation’s crimes. The aggression on Gaza is ongoing and will continue as long as Netanyahu continues in his insanity and arrogance by prolonging and expanding the aggression, with the aim of breaking the fraternal bond between the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance.

Despite all the massacres and genocidal war it has committed in Gaza and Lebanon through raids and targeting civilians or by expanding the aggression, the Occupation has still not achieved any goals, given its failure to strike the structure of the Resistance and its environment.

What Netanyahu and the Occupation entity must understand is that the Resistance will not be defeated, and the will of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples will not be defeated, no matter how much Netanyahu tries to erase the blow dealt to the fascist entity after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood from the minds of the Zionists.
