One, interesting that they’re pulling out the old “Terrorist base under the hospital” excuse from last year, in Gaza they’ve fully stopped trying to make excuses and just attack hospitals constantly

Two, while obviously Hezbollah does not have millions of dollars in cash sitting in a bunker because they’re a real organization that would invest assets like that in some way, even if they did okay and??? That’s still none of your fucking business?

This genuinely bothers me so much, even though Israel lies constantly, even if everything they said was true they’re still in the wrong and the claims they keep making don’t justify what they’re doing even if they were true. There’s nothing saying that if a political party or local militia in a neighboring country keeps money in a bunker you can bomb whatever’s on top and take it?

Brb gonna bomb Fort Knox which is okay because the US army is hiding billions of dollars

I don't believe them. But like Hezbollah is not just a paramilitary, it's a civil and political organisation that employs thousands of people, in a country that has had multiple financial crisis's. Even before you get to things like US sanctions and freezes, it makes sense to have cash on hand so you can pay people? Buy supplies? etc.

Exactly! A semi-governmental organization has good reason to have cash reserves, cash being in a place isn’t a justification of anything even if it were true!

Never believe that Zionists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their statements.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Headline phrased in a way to make it sound like the bunker definitely exists, and only its contents are in question

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

And it would've been shorter too:

Israel claims bunker with millions of dollars under Beirut hospital.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

It's a day ending in y if it's war news and "Israel" and "hospital" are mentioned in the same sentence.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Israel did not provide evidence for its claim that cash was being kept under the hospital. Instead, it published an animated graphic that purported to show a bunker under the hospital and said it had previously been used to hide the former secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

If only there was an emoji for those insane cutout graphics of hypothetical Al-qaeda mountain bases

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The money appears to hold Israel's interest
