"In Beirut, Nowhere Is Safe From Israel's Bombing"
In an on-the-ground dispatch from Lebanon, displaced residents describe the toll of Israel's relentless attacks, as the Israeli military escalates its assault on the capital and advances in the south.
The slaughter in Lebanon is unfathomably cruel and almost no one is talking about it in the US x.com/ramabdu/stat...

Israel is bombing Dahieh Beirut extensively right now. I'm watching it on Al Jazeera Arabic live and it's one bombing after the other
Hah! Sue the fuckers anyway.
Oh cβmonβ¦
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
