The Lebanese state being kept permanently just strong enough to police its citizens internally and permanently just feeble enough to not be capable of protecting its citizens from Israel is just a fact. US diplomats say this outright all the time.

Is "Hezbollah-affiliated" the new "Hamas-run"? When will the media stop whitewashing genocide? This man is obviously a journalist trying to do his job. Why don't you watch your own video post, Reuters, and try again?

Killing an illegally-present, occupying soldier is verbatim the most legal thing a person is allowed to do under every single international law.
Today's deadly clash in the West Bank began when about 30 settlers, including armed men and minors, entered Tell, a Palestinian village that Israelis are not allowed to enter, using a "hike" as cover. They did not coordinate with the IDF, even though it is required. The incident ended in a gunfight that killed two Israelis and four Palestinians, and the IDF sent five more companies to the area to contain the situation the settlers had started.

None of this excuses the Palestinian who seized a weapon and killed an Israeli officer. That is a crime in its own right, and two Israeli families are grieving tonight. But it does not change how the events began, or who set them in motion.

According to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) the occupation is illegal, and so is all cooperation with or support of settlements and settlers. Therefor this so called "UK charity" is breaking international law. And by letting them do so, the UK is breaking it too. Make them accountable!

⭕️ Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responds to Vice President JD Vance: “For every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry. All of Lebanon should burn.”

He writes:

“With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not up for grabs. All of Lebanon should burn. Our highest duty is to protect Israel’s citizens and IDF soldiers, and that commitment comes before any other consideration.

I tell the Prime Minister, including in our meetings: for every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry.

Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you do not win through measured responses and restraint. You have to go crazy. Erase. Defeat terrorism.”

Controversial, I know, but I think the people of Iran are human beings and that the nation who committed war crimes against them should surrender all the individuals responsible for this perverse, heinous, pointless war of murderous aggression to face justice in Iran (not here, not at the ICC).
