The Israelis fired on civilians & journalists in Lebanon today. The Israelis bombed Lebanon today. The Israelis kidnapped a Lebanese man from his home in the south. The Israelis bombed police officers distributing aid in Gaza today. These are NOT “ceasefires” if only 1 side is ceasing fire.

The U.S./European/Israeli holocaust in Gaza continuing into 2025 is horrifying on every level. I don’t know what to say anymore. They turned the live-streamed mass murder and starvation of Palestinians into background noise. Those responsible deserve the absolute worst in life.

14 months later and Israel is still attacking Gaza’s hospitals and calling it self defense. It’s the most shocking and unprecedented destruction of HOSPITALS in history.

Israeli drone is back in Beirut buzzing overhead. Meanwhile Israeli airstrikes continue in the south. Some “ceasefire.”

Dropping bombs on sleeping families at 4am in a densely populated city is demonic. That’s what Israel just did in central Beirut.
