Inspired by a post I saw on AskReddit (which has now been removed). What is something you believe is growing because of young people?

        They haven’t really done anything comparable to the Lebanese, but there is all kinds of places in the Middle East they covet.

          Only because they haven’t had as much time and because Iran (a major ally of Lebanon) is much more capable of fighting back. The Israeli government officials have said similarly genocidal language as they have been saying about Palestinians.

            Iran is an ally of Hezbollah, which is actually in competition with the (other?) Lebanese state. Iran’s also pretty tight with Palestinian Hamas.

              Yeah, that’s true. Israel was specifically talking about Hezbollah when they said all of those things, but they are absolutely still massacring civilians, regardless of their ties to Hezbollah, as they are trying to seize land.

              Iran does monetarilly support Hamas from what I understand, but they did not help militarilly defend either Hamas or Palestinians in Gaza when they were being massacred. It was only after Israel and the US attacked Iran directly that second time did Iran get involved militarilly.
