Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
In 2004, George W Bush bombed the Iraqi city of Fallujah with white phosphorus and depleted uranium weapons. 22 years later, Fallujah has the world's highest rate of birth defects. Higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the U.S. dropped atom bombs on them.
Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.
Yet somehow it is controversial to not want to send free weapons to this country.
The baseline position should be an arms embargo and sanctions. This is pure barbarism.
I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.
Carry on.
🚨🇷🇺🇮🇷🇺🇸 PUTIN ON IRAN: “Iran fulfilled all of its obligations under the well-known nuclear deal. All of them.
Then U.S. President Trump unilaterally decided to withdraw from the agreement, while the Europeans were saying, ‘Yes, it’s bad that the Americans have withdrawn, but you Iranians must comply with everything’
I apologize if this sounds a bit rude, but what the hell are the Iranians supposed to comply with?”
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
