With everyone talking about Iran, few are looking at the humanitarian crisis Israel is causing in Lebanon. Here are the facts:
* At least 300,000 people are displaced by Israeli attacks. The number will likely soon exceed 1 million
* 217 people have been killed and more than 600 injured.
* The medical system is under stress with 43 primary health care centers and two hospitals have been forced to close due to evacuation orders.
* Critical health infrastructure was never fully repaired following the 2020 Beirut blast and prior hostilities, leaving it structurally fragile.
* Closures have left patients requiring dialysis and cancer treatment with almost no access to care, as they are referred to other already overwhelmed facilities.
* The Lebanese lira has lost over 98% of its value since 2023, causing hyperinflation and destroying savings.
* Lebanon was already in crisis, with roughly 80% of the population living in poverty BEFORE this started.
Keep in mind that this is one of FOUR humanitarian crises Israel is causing right now. One in Gaza, one in the West Bank, one in Iran and one in Yemen.
Reporter: Do you think Israel boxed the US into war with Iran?
Schumer: "Look, no one wants a nuclear war, no one wants a nuclear Israel, but we certainly don't want an endless war."
*Walks away*
*Turns around*
Schumer: "What'd I say?"
Reporter: "Nuclear Israel."
Schumer: "Oh, no! Let me say that again. No one wants an endless war, but we certainly don't want a nuclear Iran, that's for sure, okay?"
Cops in Portland, Maine are livid at the “bush league policing” on display from ICE, already speaking out. What is a right wing coalition that doesn’t include the police?
Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers.
Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.
You can’t make this stuff up.
🚨 NEW: Congressman Thomas Massie says “I think Israel is influencing the Epstein File release. Israeli intelligence and our own CIA was wrapped up with Epstein. So, it will be embarrassing for our own intelligence agencies and Israel’s intelligence agencies for all that to come out.”
OSHA is moving to reduce protections for workers in the arts, entertainment, and sports.
The agency wants to gut a key clause, which outlines protections for jobs without existing standards.
OSHA’s own estimates say at least 115,000 workers would be affected by the change.
🚨🚨Breaking– The Two Israeli war Crimimals Who Were Arrested In Belgium Are Now Located in Amsterdam Netherlands
The #HindRajabFoundation, in collaboration with #GLAN, has filed an urgent criminal complaint with the Dutch authorities calling for their immediate arrest.
These individuals are accused of:
Direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure,
Torture, unlawful detention, and the use of human shields,
The deliberate destruction of homes, hospitals, and agricultural land,
And the creation of life-threatening conditions aimed at destroying the Palestinian population in whole or in part — acts constituting genocide under international law.
One of the suspects is a military commander, with operational responsibility for these crimes.
At this time, it remains unclear whether they were legally permitted to leave Belgium, or whether they are now fugitives evading justice.
In response, the HRF has submitted an urgent legal complaint to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, calling on the Netherlands to:
Locate and arrest the suspects immediately,
Initiate criminal proceedings under the Dutch universal jurisdiction framework,
Or extradite them to a competent state for prosecution.
Under the Genocide Convention, the Geneva Conventions, the Rome Statute, and Dutch national law, the Netherlands has a binding legal obligation to act. Allowing these individuals to transit freely would constitute a serious violation of international law and offer impunity to perpetrators of mass atrocity.
The Dutch authorities now bear direct legal and moral responsibility.
