They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.
@SenatorFischer Wilderness is not a tree farm! As your constituent, I urge you to oppose S. 4103, the so-called “Save Our Sequoias Act.” I'm counting on you to keep Wilderness and giant sequoias wild! Vote NO on S. 4103!
MAGA's line in the sand wasn't the fact that Trump is a pedophile, it wasn't the fact that he's manipulating markets, invading sovereign nations for no reason, or even shooting American citizens in the streets... it's gas prices. Why? Because they're all selfish assholes.
@SenatorFischer I urge you to oppose the Montana Sportsmen Conservation Act (S. 3527/H.R. 6788). The bill would remove protections for 100,000 acres of Wilderness Study Areas in Montana, opening them to logging, roadbuilding, mining, and motorized wreckreation.
Five years ago, Donald Trump incited an insurrection to overturn a free and fair election.
Today, his attacks on our democracy have only increased.
To stop him, we not only need fighters in Congress but we need ones who know how to win.
Join me in this battle.
To all those MAGA that say I didn’t vote for this well you definitely did! The whole invading Venezuela and the regime change is all over Project 2025 and most of the authors of it are now in his Cabinet making sure all these things come to fruition! Yes you voted for it ! 🤬
So, Republican lawmakers are proposing a statue honoring Charlie Kirk for our nation’s capitol.
If anyone deserves a statue it’s U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, who actually defended our nation’s capitol by diverting an unruly MAGA mob away from Senate chambers.
I stand with ARIZONA Senator Kelly‼️
#ArizonaStrong @SenMarkKelly #AmericanHero @CaptMarkKelly
This REGIME & THE GOP, Republicans, MAGA and all that allow this are a Disgusting, Disastrous, Disgrace‼️ ANY QUESTIONS?
Microphones were muted and the board meeting and vote NOT unanimous
I’m told Trump explicitly motivated to act by JACK FOR NEW YORK
Our campaign represents everything Trump can’t stand or defeat.
