I'm not with Hezbollah and I don't care about Iran, I care about society in Lebanon. Israel is occupying our land and ethnically razing our people and fragmenting our society. Iran is fighting Israel for reasons totally unrelated to us. We have an interest in negotiating with Iran to find a common path against Israel, if only temporary. I don't see how this government (that all tawaif support, subhan Allah!) has our society's interests at heart.

This is the views on a post of mine showing how Israel is a danger to Lebanon regardless of nationalist or Islamic ideology. 9% of 9800 views is 880 Israelis at least, if we add up some in the US and other locations we can estimate around 1000 Israelis on the post, with a number of them participating, obviously. This is in line with what the Israeli government confirmed they were making use of Lebanese media against Lebanese society as well.

So my question is: How can we protect our society against this?

Note: Please remain on topic instead of using diversion tactics to talk about Hezbollah's mistakes like you usually do whenever there's a post about Israel being a danger.

Daniel Klein describes himself as follows: "I was born in Jerusalem and raised in a West Bank settlement inside religious-Zionism, before dismantling that ideology. I share testimony and witness in service of human liberation."

This is a text entitled "How I Realized I Was In a Cult" on his Substack:

Someone recently asked me, “How would I know that I’m in a cult?”

Honestly, it can be hard to know you are in a high-indoctrination system until you start to break away. That’s the whole point.

But here are seven questions I asked myself:

1. When I voice a doubt or disagree, does the group engage with the substance, or do I face social rejection and warnings that my thinking is dangerous?
2. Can I explore alternative beliefs or hold conflicting truths without feeling a wave of panic, guilt, or the need to label the outside world as evil?
3. Is my sense of being loved and accepted unconditional, or is it entirely tied to my alignment with the group’s narrative?
4. When a hard question arises, am I met with an opening that expands the conversation, or a thought-terminating cliché designed to shut it down?
5. Does belonging to this group mean inheriting a list of outsiders I am expected to fear, pity, or hate?
6. Do I still know who I am when the group isn’t looking, or do I find myself hiding my truth even when I am alone?
7. Is leaving framed as a shift in perspective, or am I told that exiting is an act of treason, heresy, or becoming “lost” - a choice that will inevitably destroy my life, soul, or character?

Sitting honestly with these questions was scary. In hindsight, the scariest part wasn’t the cost of leaving. It was realizing the cost of staying inside.
