To be very clear: reality is very different from the rhetoric. The IDF takes extraordinary measures to mitigate civilian harm in Lebanon. In fact, as in Gaza, it employs more civilian harm mitigation measures than any military in past or current operations.

The IDF issues evacuation warnings through multiple channels including text messages, phone calls, voicemails, flyers, radio, television, and social media. It operates dedicated civilian harm mitigation cells, tracks civilian presence through drones, cell phone data, and other ISR capabilities, and uses rigorous targeting processes that include legal reviews and proportionality assessments for any planned strikes. Legal reviews at lowest tactical level, and with the ability (which happens often as well as command decisions not to strike based on all context) to override commander decisions, unlike any other military.

In southern Lebanon, these measures are particularly effective because civilians can move away from military objectives and active combat areas.

Even in Beirut, the IDF has repeatedly provided warnings identifying specific buildings that will be struck and when. The warnings have proven so reliable that Lebanese citizens and journalists have set up cameras in advance to record the strikes. When targeting Hezbollah senior leaders, command meetings, or other military objectives in densely populated areas such as Dahiyeh (the Hezbollah controlled neighborhood of Beirut), the IDF relies on precision-guided munitions, small diameter munition (warheads with less explosives), and other low collateral damage munitions, detailed intelligence, and other methods designed to limit collateral damage while achieving the legitimate military objective.

There is also no equivalency. Israel does not intentionally target civilians. Hezbollah is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization whose strategy includes deliberately attacking civilians. Hezbollah launches rockets, missiles, and drones at civilian communities in northern Israel (daily, despite any cease fires), targeting homes, schools, businesses, and civilian infrastructure.

One side conducts legal reviews, proportionality assessments, civilian warnings, and precision strikes against military objectives. The other is a international designated terrorist group that intentionally places military assets among civilians while deliberately targeting civilians.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

🚨🚨🚨A standing ovation for the Washington Post, @wapo . 👏👏👏

You spent a full year investigating whether America's Director of National Intelligence, the woman with access to every classified secret this country has, was being directed by a cult leader who got busted for pyramid schemes in multiple countries.

And you held it until she resigned?

This same cult leader, Chris Butler, has his sect directly tied to QI Group (QNET), a Hong Kong-based company with operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

So the real question: Which countries now have access to our national intelligence? Which of our spy names are compromised?

And let's not forget, this is the same Tulsi Gabbard who used her position to do a coordinated hit job on Dr. Fauci, a man who spent his entire life saving Americans.

Imagine if this story dropped while she still had her hands on our nation's secrets.

Our press and mainstream media are failing us at every level.

Israeli apartheid has never looked so warm and cuddly.

@Luminary2009 @AmericanEthical Gonna debate this till my dying day

W dn get nearly enough shit these days thanks to Trump

He fucked the world with his response to Afghanistan - and the war he started in 2003 in Iraq

Smiling at the Obama library while millions of people suffer for his decisions to this day

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@OH_Zedong @trouble_man90 As if regretting the 2024 election and blaming those who thought Gaza, e.g., was a bigger issue than stopping Trump is wrong?!?

We have 2 more years of this disaster- I’ve yet to hear an acknowledgement how wrong they were or why trust their judgment now

Not ‘vote Republican’

@bantheshift If you’re only there to play baseball then can’t have a bible verse on your hat

Projecting the bible as if it’s yours is also worrisome:

What are you really doing when not publicly proclaiming your piety hmm?

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@FamilyLuvsDGS @PhilNvestigates Sorry - criminal defense lawyer here. Defending these people is a constitutional duty. Some are falsely accused.

No- the ones to be afraid are those who say ‘kill them’ or who wear hats ‘make them afraid’

Or just wear a red hat voting for trump/epstein: Look how many!

@Ourlady77 @scarylawyerguy @AntiToxicPeople Which doctrine?

Hey! Maybe go find your own religion cuz this one and you

@daniela__127 @J_fassler It’s not word salad it’s the real world v philosophy class

But unlike philosophy class there’s no awareness that this isn’t an answer as to what to do with murderers (and any violent or sexual offenders) in reality

Humans do murder and always have done.

@EYakoby No damnit if they say it’s a bomb then it is what they say it is. Now I look closer and I see a globe an orb with a hollow center almost like a ball but much more devious

Also I’m fat but I’m starving I’m peaceable but sometimes kill attendees at music festivals
I’m a victim!

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@IRINMuskFan @jewishinsider And yet it is funded hugely (take a look at PAC $$$ from other than Israel) yet some think not affected by it? People tweeting 24 hours a day about Gaza/Palestinians as if they care about people but Rohingya? Kurds? Darfur? Yazidis? Hungry kids worldwide but go Musk I guess yay

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@magi_jay @NickyFrank30 And for Afghanistan exit. 21 years after the war started by republicans with a framework arranged by Trump and republicans

Where the US deaths were from a suicide bomber

As if it was all Biden’s fault

I fucking hate our media

They wanted Trump back then lowered the bar

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@109ers @EYakoby You see, some people like the guy for reasons other than his efforts at art, get it? Regardless of actual or stated reason people need to shut the fuck up about it and let others live without knowing what a terrible person you are.
Back to silence

That’s what I was saying

@hashtaghomey @CBSNews Riddle me if winning IA shouldn’t mean shit same w NH But Hillary won big on Super Tuesday in NY, NJ, CA, MA, TX, FL: y do people not understand it was always unlikely for the “outsider” candidate to win: by fucking definition. Cmon now. Now go after Joe Biden or something

[Douglas Fox @DglsFox]

@CBSNews Please don’t do this Hillary. Maybe you miscalculated by running in 2016 when there was a VP ready to score the most votes ever but no

You miscalculated & thought it was your time your turn. Wrong. Any regrets?

Leave 2024 behind. So angry-Trump won -and you lost to him too
