Often #Zionists have #Israeli children write on rockets or missiles "From Israeli children to #Palestinian or #Lebanese children, with love"
Complete dehumanization from an early age.
Guess who the West calls "terrorist state".
The #cookbook stood as a simple, spiral-bound revelation when Habib-Kirske’s mother, Madelain Farah, first #SelfPublished it in 1972, fulfilling orders by mail herself (with young Habib-Kirske’s help). Back then, #recipes for the likes of hummus, tabbouleh & ful imdammas (falafel) weren’t easy to find & “ #Lebanese#Cuisine” became a treasured underground classic to #cooks from #Lebanon, other parts of the #MiddleEast & far beyond.
“This is terrorism. You can see it's a compound that's been here for 11 years. Everybody can go in and out. Everybody can see what's inside,” Hassan Ghadar, the mayor of #Ghazieh, told The National from the burning compound.
“When you talk about terrorism, this is terrorism. This is the destruction of people's businesses. This is terrorism, it is as simple as that,” he added.
I've cleared front & back pathways & lay down some sand on them. Put out some feeder plates for the birds. Warming up with some delicious #Lebanese style chicken & lentils with tamarind chutney & fresh cilantro #soup. One of my friends made some for me & dropped off 2 containers last night 😊
Asher is keeping me company. Cozy inside.
"Hamas wanted Palestinians to die en masse, to be martyred for their cause."
I can actually agree with this. Seeing things from a strategic 🪖 perspective, your argument, alas, makes a lot of sense. The #Hamas' leadership might even want to force the more powerful #Hezbollah's leader in #Lebanon to join the fight against #Israel: at what point will the outcry in #Lebanese
streets about the...
Exposure to violent death in a #colonial conflict in which they play no part is only the most dramatic manifestation of the #hyperexploitation & neglect that #Thais in #Israel have suffered over the last 30 years. But it is no coincidence that many of the #RuralAreas where #migrants are concentrated - including the #Lebanese border region as well as the area neighboring #Gaza — are also #hotspots of #violence.
Meanwhile #Israel's defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has said Israel will sever all ties with the #Gaza Strip once its war with #Hamas is over -- it would, as he put it, end its "responsibility" for life there.
The #Hamas authorities say #Israeli attacks have now killed more than 4100 people.
Over 1400 Israelis were killed in Hamas' unprecedented extremist attacks within Israel earlier this month
'They are facing the criticism that they have been talking about hitting #Israel, and now that the opportunity has come along, some say, “Why don’t you?” I have even heard some #Palestinians say, “ #Hezbollah have let us down.”
However, there have not been many signs that Iran wants this to happen. Deterring 'Iran and its #Lebanese allies is a major reason why the US has already moved one carrier group to the Mediterranean and another one on its way to the Gulf.'
الوكالة الوطنية للإعلام - Elysee: The #Lebanese and #Hezbollah must “stay out of the conflict” between Israel and
Hamas
(Lebanon must obey France …) @lebanon
A recap of main events today (while i was working on a completely different story so details to come later):
-emergency government and war cabinet formed in #Israel
#Gaza 's only power station stopped working, leaving the territory without main electricity
17 Brits, including children are dead or missing after #hamas attack in Israel
The #Israeli military says it has struck a "terrorist target" in southern #Lebanon belonging to #Hezbollah
It says it acted after it intercepted two "unidentified targets" above #Haifa, close to the #Lebanese border, and after an unidentified UAV (drone) crossed into northern Israel.
In recent days Israeli forces have exchanged rocket fire with Hezbollah.
Like #Hamas, Hezbollah too has been designated a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and other countries.
How does #Hezbollah compare to Hamas?
Hugo Bachega: Hezbollah - a #Lebanese military, political, and social movement - has long been seen by #Israel as a more formidable force than #Hamas
The heavily armed Iranian-backed group has an estimated 130,000 rockets and missiles, according to the CSIS. Most of this arsenal is made up of small, man-portable and unguided surface-to-surface artillery rockets. But it also includes anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, (cont.)
#Hamas said their operation was a response to #Israeli violence against #Palestinians in the West Bank. The #Lebanese militant group, #Hezbollah which went to war with #Israel in 2006 has expressed its support for the Hamas operation. The #Palestinian militant faction Islamic #Jihad - which is active in the occupied West Bank - has also backed the incursion.
#Israel undoubtedly sees the potential for a war that could open up on multiple fronts. A worst-case scenario is that it could draw in the powerful #Lebanese militant group, #Hezbollah .
Meanwhile, the Israeli military has ordered a massive reinforcement of troops. As well as its intense air raids on #Gaza, it has indicated that it is planning a ground operation there .
From BBC live page: #Lebanese political party and militant group #Hezbollah says it has not mounted an operation in #Israel after the #IDF killed at least two gunmen on the border with #Lebanon
The IDF stmt said it had killed "a number of armed suspects that infiltrated into Israeli territory from Lebanese territory", but didn't provide more details.
Hezbollah emerged with the help if Iran in the 1980s during the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.
