While Europe still debates whether to end its Association Agreement with Israel, as if there is much to debate, Israel continues to happily commit war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
This was South Lebanon today.
First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime.
Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.
As a reporter on the ground, @SecRubio , I can tell you unequivocally that the only entity bombing and killing civilians in Lebanon on a daily basis is the Israeli army. Almost 3,000 dead since March 2nd. More than 100 medical professionals. Almost 200 children. All killed by Israel.
The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.
May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
Here are the 42 Democrats who joined 192 Republicans in fulfilling Trump's wishes to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data:

Israel killed her last night.
Trump’s billionaire allies will now control:
CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 450 local TV stations, including news, in 95% of U.S. markets.
X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.
Plus Gemini, ChatGPT and Grok.
They’ll make sure Trump’s lies are legitimized and the truth is always questioned.
A message from martyred journalist Amal Khalil... here is a translated transcript of her message:
"We have now completed a full year covering the Israeli aggression on South Lebanon. For an entire year, I have been in the field, day after day, as a correspondent for Al-Akhbar newspaper. This year has been heavy... it has changed us, matured us. It taught us to hold even tighter to our principles, to our beliefs, to the choice of resistance, and to the conviction that resistance alone protects the land, that it alone stands firm against the Israeli enemy, nothing else does.
To everyone who advised me to reduce my movement along the southern border, especially after the Israeli threats I received, my answer was this: our Hussaini faith and our southern, revolutionary upbringing have always taught us to say, "If only we had been with you." And the moment came for me to be with the people of the South the people of truth, who embody the cause of Karbala, who live its teachings. They stand in the face of a tyrant who kills, and in the face of oppression they remain steadfast, speaking the truth. Everything happening to the people of the South is simply because they dare to say "no."
[*call for prayers*: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah… I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."]
My alignment with the people of the South, my presence among them since the July 2006 war, has always been the right choice. They have always lived up to that faith placed in them. And they will remain so, even after loss. They will grow stronger, more steadfast, and more committed to this unwavering compass, toward truth, and toward Palestine."
~Martyred Journalist Amal Khalil.
VIDEO | "I received direct threats targeting me on my phone from the Mossad, from the Israelis, and they threatened to kill me. They were literally saying they would sever my head from my shoulders if I didn’t leave south Lebanon."
In an interview recorded before her targeted killing, Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, from the southern village of Baysariyyeh, reflects on the threats she received while covering Israeli aggression in south Lebanon for Al-Akhbar.
"Before 23 September, I definitely didn’t take precautions and I didn’t pay attention to these threats, because I said if I’m going to do what they want, why would I let the Israeli enemy impose its own narrative on me? It brings journalists onto my land and promotes the narrative it wants, while preventing me from moving freely on my own land."
Amal Khalil, along with her colleague Zeinab Faraj, was deliberately attacked and subsequently killed by Israel yesterday in the southern Lebanese village of Tayri. Zeinab Faraj was severely injured and, as per latest reports, remains in stable condition after undergoing emergency surgery.

The crime continues, so does international inaction.
