Hezbollah is a government. Which has a large number of civilian members, including doctors that treat people.
Are the garbage collectors bad guys?

Target large swathes of civilian populations is incredible targeting?
Only to those that think race/religion is what determines if someone is a legitimate target.
They were not exclusively used by Hezbollah.
Also, you’re equating a government with it’s militant wing.
Is it proper to call an Israeli Doctor a member of IDF? That is what you are doing.
Hospital administrators (A government position for non insane countries) are Hezbollah.
Has Israel released the larger number of West Bank Palestinians taken hostage without judicial oversight?
If taking hostages justifies genocide, what does the larger number of hostages that Israel takes justify?
Propaganda has a meaning, and it isn’t “this disagrees with the ideological framework that lets me justify genocide to myself, it must be propaganda”
I have the moral belief that genocide is wrong.
I use a more strict definition of genocide than the ICJ: Any government that intentionally blocks food, medicine, and potable water to a population it considers problematic is a government intentionally committing genocide.
Again, that is a more strict definition then the ICJ uses.
Never again meant for everyone.
“I wish Israel would just commit ethnic cleansing instead of genocide”
Do you support the much larger number of Palestinian children from the West Bank being taken hostage by the IDF without a judicial process?
That’s cause they are a Nazi. Take a look at their apartheid justification in their comments.
Do you not see the racism in your comment?
Are you that far down the genocidal Nazi hole that you can’t see how racist your comment is, and how racist it will seem to non Nazis?
I apologize for the accusations of lying and bad faith arguments.
If you actually want to learn about the history of the area, these are good starts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936–1939_Arab_revolt_in_Palestine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes–Picot_Agreement
The long and short of it is that the British promised the Arab’s self determination, and then broke the promise to give the land to Zionist immigrants mostly from Europe who absolutely stole the land from the indigenous people, with terrorism being one of the tools used. See the Irgun, Heganah, and Lehi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah
Fun fact: The first Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, organized kidnapping operations for the Irgun before the establishment of Israel. He was also in charge during the massacre of Deir Yassin.
They also completely lied.
The Ottoman empire didn’t exist after the Great War.
For the historical record:
https://lemm.ee/u/letsgo intentionally confusing the Central Powers with the Axis and deceptively editing a quote to try and sell the lie.
All in order to justify a genocide.
Maybe you could update it with yours:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire
In the aftermath of World War I, the victorious Allied Powers occupied and partitioned the Ottoman Empire, which lost its southern territories to the United Kingdom and France. The successful Turkish War of Independence, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk against the occupying Allies, led to the emergence of the Republic of Turkey in the Anatolian heartland and the abolition of the Ottoman monarchy in 1922, formally ending the Ottoman Empire.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine
Mandatory Palestine[a][4] was a geopolitical entity that existed between 1920 and 1948 in the region of Palestine under the terms of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine.
After an Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War in 1916, British forces drove Ottoman forces out of the Levant.[5] The United Kingdom had agreed in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence in case of a revolt but, in the end, the United Kingdom and France divided what had been Ottoman Syria under the Sykes–Picot Agreement—an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Another issue was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain promised its support for the establishment of a Jewish “national home” in Palestine. Mandatory Palestine was then established in 1920, and the British obtained a Mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations in 1922.[6]
Also, this is literally copied from your link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Powers
For the World War II alliance, see Axis powers. The Central Powers, also known as the Central Empires,[1][notes 1] were one of the two main coalitions that fought in World War I (1914–1918). It consisted of the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria; this was also known as the Quadruple Alliance.[2][notes 2]
Jesus, the link you provided was FOR the great war.
Did you even read it? Of course you did, you bad faith liar, the text literally from before your quotes was the time period that you intentionally removed.
On the tiny miniscule chance you actually believed the nonsense you spouted, do you see that you were either taught completely erroneously, or outright lied too?
EDIT: To address the racism of the original post:
Do you think Ottomans are Arab? Do you think Persians are Arab?
The whole point of Lawrence of Arabia was the attempt to get the Arabic people to mutiny against the Ottoman empire.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Revolt
Maybe you can read this and actually learn that Arab isn’t a generic term for middle easterner.
There are quite a few on Lemmy.
One is a mod on News on Lemmy.world
The Ottoman empire sided with the Nazis?
How has no one commented on this ahistorical nonsense.
The Ottoman empire dissolved in 1922.
After The Great War aka World War One, the British took over the area called Mandatory Palestine in 1920.
Everything about this post is insanely wrong.
My first computer game was a book with the code in the book that you had to type in.
I participated in FidoNet.
I saw labyrinth in the theaters
Remind me again who pulled out of arms control agreements first?
The real question is if the US would be interested.
Churchill led a fucking empire, and during that same time period chose to starve 4 million what would become Bengali’s.
Like, I see the argument you’re making, but the British fucking empire is not the example you want to use.
They’ve been doing the same for Hamas. Hospital administrator? Hamas. And so Israel bombs out their apartment killing them and their entire family. You know, back when there were apartments.
Same for police.
That one is what gives away Israels genocidal intent. Getting rid of police gets rid of the first line of defense against civil disorder, and the people most likely to do stuff like distribute food and supplies.
Police very rarely end up fighting as militantsin occupied countries, too. Unless you fire them en masse, which occupying countries shouldn’t do, if they’re smart.
Edit: We do know multiple EMT teams and doctors were hit by the beepers.
