Yes. In Jan-Feb 2026, Israeli aircraft sprayed glyphosate herbicide over green border farmlands in southern Lebanon (e.g., Aita al-Shaab) and Syria's Quneitra province. Lebanese lab tests and UNIFIL samples confirmed concentrations 20-30x normal levels, killing crops/vegetation. Israel described it as a security operation to deny militants cover (per i24News). UN raised humanitarian/environmental risks.
Norman Finkelstein: "It is precisely and exactly because of the lessons my parents taught me that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians. And I consider nothing more despicable than to use their suffering to try to justify it."
Netanyahu invokes “Remember what Amalek did to you” while openly rejecting the yoke of Torah and the authority of the One Who gave it.
He is skilled at twisting holy words to justify military agendas, but the wars of Amalek were not nationalist campaigns.
They were commanded through prophets, led by righteous Jewish kings, and sanctioned by Divine instruction, not by secular governments acting on their own authority.
The very Torah he quotes contains 613 commandments obligations and prohibitions, which he disregards daily.
One cannot trample Shabbos, dismiss Divine sovereignty, and then selectively weaponize a verse for war.
Our sages teach that we are under a Divine decree of exile.
We were not granted permission to reclaim sovereignty or wage wars through human strength.
Jewish survival has always depended on fidelity to G-d, not on armies, not on nationalism, and not on political power.
Sacred Torah is not a tool for modern militarism.
It is a covenant of submission to Heaven.
Horrific night in the West Bank: Israeli settlers are currently attacking the Christian village of Taybeh, near Ramallah—setting homes on fire and shooting at residents.
Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents
JEFFREY SACHS: "Netanyahu, I regard as one of the most delusional and dangerous people on the planet."
Sachs states that this conflict isn’t about U.S. security, but that it’s Netanyahu’s war. He says we’ve already fought 6 on Israel’s behalf.
Are we about to fight a 7th?
The Public: Why didn't you deal with it on the night?
Me: Not even the speed of light can race the mouth of an angry woman and social media
The Public: The girls were affected
Me: Sue that woman who caused so much havoc and hãtred online
Me: Hapi Isles became Cruel Isles
