An Israeli settler group is promoting new properties for sale in southern Lebanon, as the Israeli army wages a bombing campaign in the country that has killed over 1000 people since mid-September.

Uri Tzafon, or the Movement for Settlement in Southern Lebanon’s website boasts spacious, light-filled apartments overlooking a swimming pool, with offers starting at 300,000 shekels ($80,000).

“After the elimination of the Hezbollah leadership…do you also dream of a big house, a view of snowy mountains and a warm community in the land of our ancestors?” the advert reads.

A statement on its website claims the settlement of southern Lebanon is “necessary for Israel’s security” and that “only an Israeli civilian presence will ensure stable control and prevent the area from becoming a terrorist stronghold”.

    They’re making it really hard not to accept every form of revenge against them. I won’t promote it, I won’t call for it. But I’ll shrug and live on if those settlers get hit.

    Those fucking fascist assholes!

    So who advertises this land? I assume not everyone can simply sell random plots of land, regardless of war? So can this be taken serious or is it more delirious dreams of some crazy people?

      If an Israeli shows up in Lebanon and says “mine now”, Israel will back that claim.

      It’s delirious dreams of crazy people, yes, but those people have a lot of guns and other materiel from the US and other countries.

      The acquisition of land through the ethnic cleansing of the native population is central to Zionist Settler Colonialism, this is no different

      It’s been done in Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza, so I’m not sure why this would be any different.
