Steadily escalating over the 80s, but exploding since Al-Aqsa Flood is a process of refractory genocidal projection, happening in tandem to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, towards Shi'a, identified as the most intimate symbol-from-without of the Palestinian cause

While genocides are usually thought of within neatly delineated frames of victim groups, in practice, the naturally paranoiac genocidal process proceeds through binding various communities -- racial, religious, or political -- as bearers of guilt & targets for eradication

You have the dyadic figure of the Judeo-Bolshevik during WW2, the triadic murder of ethnic Viets, Champa Muslims, and "Viets in Khmer clothing" in Cambodia, and the regularized connection between "5th columns" and foreign aggressions in other genocides.

What we see now in Iran and esp. Lebanon is the reality produced by the colonial natsec vision of the "Shi'a Crescent" -- an imaginary similarly promoted and appropriated by forces on the grounds, including 🇱🇧's "govt" -- as a geography to be eliminated without restraint
