They struck her, then followed her to where she tried to take shelter & struck her there. They struck the rescue workers who came for her & only after hours, after she died, did they allow retrieval 1819881098

Lina Mounzer @warghetti.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Browsing any of the Israel-related subreddits is a fascinating and horrifying glimpse into the Israeli psyche.

Lina Mounzer @warghetti.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Just when the world is finally, rightfully beginning to turn against Israel, the Lebanese government decides to legitimize them through direct talks.

Lina Mounzer @warghetti.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Such massacres, going on 80 yrs, are the price of Israel’s “right to exist as a Jewish state.” So when you say “I believe in Israel’s right to exist” you’re saying you’re ok with the mass death required to secure that existence.
