Israeli Regime’s Hezbollah Disarmament Project: Striving for Regional Domination
The English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, reports that the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar has analyzed the underlying objectives behind the plan to disarm Lebanon’s resistance and its benefits for the Zionist project in the region. The article details various aspects of Israel’s political crimes against regional nations.
according to Al-Akhbar, the aim behind what is termed “politicide”-the destruction of a group not based on ethnic or religious identity but on their political positions-is central to this strategy. While distinct from genocide by identity, politicide serves as a framework for understanding political persecution even where ethnic or religious genocides occur.
The article further explains that Israel qualifies as a complete perpetrator of genocide. Beyond ethnic cleansing, it employs all forms of genocidal methods to advance colonial expansion:
1. Domicide: Systematic destruction of homes aimed at erasing residents’ sense of place and facilitating forced displacement. This policy is evident in recent developments in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
2. Urbicide: The obliteration of cities and urban communities. Preceding Gaza’s example is Lebanon’s 2006 war, during which then-Defense Minister Gadi Eisenkot described tactics now known as the “Dahiya Doctrine.” This doctrine differs from what Israeli researcher Eyal Weizman calls “soft violence,” employing shock tactics with rapid destruction and mass displacement-an extreme form of urban genocide.
Following October 7, Israel escalated aggressive policies targeting Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria. this strategy extends from outright genocide in Gaza toward comprehensive regional attacks culminating in “political genocide.”
The article stresses that anyone overlooking Israel’s expansionism within Lebanese and Syrian territories-or failing to view these aggressions as steps towards full domination-is either politically naive or complicit with Israeli aggression.
Barrack Kimmerling’s 2003 book “Political Genocide” links spatial politics with politicide; he defines politicide as a systematic process designed to weaken a nation by dismantling its political institutions, leadership structures, economy, social fabric-and ultimately erasing its political identity altogether.
A key adjustment noted is that Israel’s policies toward Palestinians now span across Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon alongside Gaza and the West Bank under one principle: demands for “disarmament.” These policies are applied similarly throughout these nations.
Al-Akhbar concludes by emphasizing that organized resistance weaponry constitutes the primary obstacle thwarting Israel’s regional domination plans. Consequently, our peoples have no choice but to confront this form of political genocide, thus repelling Israeli aggression and terminating Zionist-imposed borders across the region.
