Genocide continues to spread like cancer through the Middle East, thanks to billions of dollars of weapons shipped from the US to Israel. Meanwhile, journalists who survive continue to complain, while the New York Times provides theater and dining suggestions and Israel makes a nice profit on generous donations from US taxpayers, reselling US$13 Billion in weapons each year.

The most recent and cogent complaints are from Truthout:

As Israel’s Bombardment of Lebanon Grows,
So Do Fears of Regional War

Just as in Gaza, the displaced are “in schools, mosques, churches, community centers,”

“Israel has been trying to carpet bomb the south as much as possible before invading,” Sintia Issa, editor-at-large of Beirut-based publication, The Public Source, told Truthout. “Israel will try to invade and occupy the south again, at least until the Litani River, but perhaps further.”
While Lebanon’s south has been under bombardment ever since October, Israel’s attacks have steadily moved to encompass more and more of the country. In a massive escalation on Friday, September 27, Israel dropped 2000-pound bombs on the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut, flattening at least six residential buildings and assassinating Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Lebanon needed Hezbollah during the long years of Israeli aggression against it's sovereign territory. It was Hezbollah that drove out not only the occupying Israelis in 2000, but also the "Christians" who ran a torture operation in an old prison in Khiam. Now Israel, strengthened by massive generosity from #GenocideJoe, renews its attacks on Khiam.
