These systems were bought years before the US military grants were started for Israel.

I highly doubt it. But one can hope.

Systems Israel bought and later also upgraded to GEM+.

Hezbollah MP and parliamentary bloc leader Mohammad Raad sparked controversy on social media when he called some Lebanese "reckless" and accused them of caring only about their comfort and relaxation, criticizing them for "going to the beach and nightclubs while the south is under attack."

Lebanese Forces announce MP Pierre Bou Assi responded to Raad on X saying, “You classify Lebanese according to your taste. Who exactly are these vile people you're talking about? If you have the audacity, name them. And who authorized you to defend us outside the state and as representatives of the people? With all due respect, explain to us how you're defending Lebanon and supporting Gaza? All of Lebanon is collapsing due to your policies and your illusory and destructive divine victories. Have you strengthened any economic or social resilience in Lebanon? Do you think your Iranian rockets will feed the people?”

How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

A state that is currently glorifying Nazi collaborators will automatically be dismissed as hostile to Jews and to Israel. Any action of theirs in related matters is therefore irrelevant.
Unless they have a different goal. Like getting closer to states like Iran.

And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I'll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

How is that relevant to news sources?
I was pointing out that Armenia is currently glorifying a Nazi collaborator, building statues of him and calling him a hero. Not in the past.

I mean.. It's even in the name there. RAF is Royal Air Force.

The sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory. Cyprus has no sovereignty over that area.
If that's Hezbollah's issue, they should've threatened the UK.

Adding to the other comment, Cyprus has also welcomed tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees over the years since the 80s, and lobbied the EU to financially assist Lebanon.

Surprising, but sounds positive.
A civil administration in Gaza sponsored by Arab countries and without the involvement of Israel? Won't that be a precursor to a Palestinian state?

For journalist Tony Boulos, "Hezbollah now threatens international security." "Does Nasrallah know that Cyprus is home to thousands of Lebanese he himself pushed to emigrate? Does he know that hundreds of Lebanese businessmen have set up offices on the island after he caused the [economic] downfall of Lebanon?" wrote the journalist, while calling on the UN "to take the necessary measures to protect the Lebanese."

Yeap. Although this "trend" isn't very new.
Antisemites calling all Jews, Zionists, was done from even before the founding of the state of Israel. One example from before its founding, is of Muhammad Rashid Rida.

How is the link tenuous?
You could write the same thing about neo-nazi violence.
There's a clear issue here.

The reality is that this is a part of a global spike of cases against Jews since the 7th of October, who are targeted because they are Jews.
It could've been someone else. Another Jew. Like the other French Jewish woman who was raped because she's a Jew and was done as "revenge" in the eyes of the perpetrator.

How is this "pro-IDF"?
I thought people here aren't pro-Hamas?

This whole week I posted.. 1 article about Hamas. Truly hustling.

The "Plenty of articles like those here." was a reply to the first part of your post.

Yeah, it's receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.

And the rape was specifically because she's a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she's a Jew.
