    Important clarification regarding Lebanon:

    1. Hezbollah media has not yet made any official announcement. Those “OSINT” and other outlets that say Hezbollah and its supporters are calling to overthrow the Lebanese government are spreading dangerous lies.

    2. Hezbollah will not willingly disarm as long as the zionist cancer exists and everyone knows it. Even if the leadership of Hezbollah agreed to it (which they won’t) the fighters themselves and the mass base for the party would never agree to it. No one can disarm Hezbollah.

    3. Hezbollah is not just a phenomenon of Lebanese Shia. Yes most of its supporters are Shia but those pro-resistance Lebanese across every sect and cultural group in Lebanon. Those turning it into a sectarian discussion are doing the work of the enemies. Georges Abdallah, a Lebanese Christian communist, literally spent 41 years in jail and then came out and said this exact thing last week.

    4. Death to america and death to israel!!!

    I’m familiar with Sykes Picot and the history of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoomans. I’m not sure its totally fair to characterize Hussein as a British agent but I’m open to more evidence on the matter.

    If we are being honest, Antoun Saadeh had the most realistic analysis of nationhood in the region of “the Levant”: everyone is Syrians basically and has been Syrians for thousands of years. These statelets are just parts of bilad al Sham.

    However, I’m pretty sure that after the last century of sectarianism and Sykes Picot, that return is basically impossible now and I know for a fact that many people in “Natural Syria” (or Greater Syria) categorically reject the concept.

    At this point in time Palestine is the central struggle for all Syrians, Arabs, Muslims, and justice-loving people on earth. And the flag is a universally recognized symbol for that struggle. So I’m going to respect the flag.

    There is an interesting relevant history. Regarding the UN resolution 678 which justified the imperialist destruction and genocide of Iraq in the 90’s, the US pressured all members on the security council to support it. Even non-permanent members.

    With America’s place in the world, not to mention Mr. Bush’s political future, riding on the outcome of the gulf crisis, the Administration never hesitated to let other nations know that their support for this resolution was vital to Washington, which would remember its friends, and its foes. Minutes after the Yemeni elegate joined the Cubans in voting against the resolution at the Security Council on Thursday, a senior American diplomat was instructed to tell him: “That was the most expensive no vote you ever cast” – meaning it would result in an end to America’s more than $70 million in foreign aid to Yemen.

    Thankfully the US has much less leverage against Russia and China today compared to 35 years ago but I think its readily apparent that the UN “peacekeepers” are generally just used as cudgels on behalf of US-led NATO domination. Examples from Haiti to Lebanon to Mali

    I would much prefer a UN that is utterly powerless than one that is used to justify genocidal sanctions on Iraq or Iran for instance.

    Thanks for the sources, I’ve learned a lot more new material from this than I care to admit

    Always glad to share when I have time. We are all always learning new things together 🫡

    Namely the first two. The premise of R2P or “responsibility to protect” has been heavily promoted and one of the major arguments for it was “the UN did nothing to stop genocide in Rawanda”. Of course when R2P was applied it was to justify completely destroying Libya in service of US empire.

    In truth, in Rawanda, the most heinous crimes were carried out by the RPF led by US puppet Paul Kagame on behalf of US interests.

    The same issue in Sudan today is the US-israel-UAE arming RSF militants to throw the country into a perpetual civilian war. This is in line with the decades long zionist-American plot to fracture Sudan.

    In Myanmar, again, the imperialists are heavily invested in propagating lies to justify various types of intervention in the name of human rights but really to expand their empire.

    People dont just wake up one day and decide to exterminate their neighbors. Such genocidal campaigns are precipitated by imperialist schemes. And in cases when multi-lateral “human rights” interventions occur it has always turned out worse rather than better.

    The world doesnt need more UN intervention it needs death to America.
