Massive Israeli air strikes on residential towns in southern and eastern Lebanon killed at least 274 people on Monday, in what has been Lebanon’s bloodiest day for decades.

At least 21 children, 39 women and two emergency responders were among the dead, Lebanon’s health minister said, adding that more than 1,024 others were wounded.

In response to the bombardment, Hezbollah fired rockets at military targets in northern Israel and illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Over the weekend, an Israeli minister called for the “Shia enemy population” of south Lebanon to be expelled and a buffer zone created on the border.

The zionazis and their tinpot shit stain dictator netanyahoo want a regional war. Netanyahoo wants war because it helps him escape his legal issues at home, and his ape shit terrorist settlers want war because they can steal more land.

Middle eastern countries should band together and blunt this insanity, but won’t because most of them are backwater dictatorships or oil companies disguised as governments. The rest care a lot about how you worship muhammad and won’t work with their neighbors because they don’t love muhhammad the right way. Fucking nightmare.

Also time for US/partners to stop funding genocide. Funny how israel “defense” ministers are making a bunch of comments on israels actions while their fighting looks a lot like offensive / genocide operations.

Imagine these terrorists doing this in your state.

Blowing up people’s faces at the grocery store. Hijacking your communications and commanding you to flee your home. Bombing your neighborhood and murdering your neighbors, family, self…

The double standards of racism and genocide could only be possible with an empire founded on racism and genocide.

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
