On June 5th Israel attacked the home of world famous Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body.
Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries.
This wasn’t an accident. They didn’t make a mistake. Mona’s home was also where she ran her sea turtle conservatory- which she aptly named the Orange House Project- because, after all, her house was painted top to bottom in a deep, bright orange, the color of a late summer sunset.
The Orange House Project has been in operation for almost 30 years. You can find it on Facebook and Google Maps, along with dozens of reviews from visitors over the years.
So no, it wasn’t an accident or a mistake. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it bombed the Orange House Project on June 5th.
It’s exactly what they’ve been doing since the war with Iran started: ethnically cleansing all of Southern Lebanon so they can steal the land and occupy it for themselves.

🟢 New: Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan told Drop Site News that Hamas has told mediators that the failure to implement the terms of the agreement sends a message to Palestinians that negotiations are meaningless.
“It reinforces the belief that the United States does not want to implement what was agreed upon, and that Mladenov (High Representative for Gaza on the UN-backed Board of Peace) is merely an employee rather than a political figure capable of accomplishing the mission,” he said. “If that is the situation, then why should we even discuss other issues?”
“The Israelis’ failure to implement what follows this stage (Israel’s phase 1 obligations) pushes the Palestinians—and us as well—to say that without the implementation of this stage, there will be no trust in subsequent stages.”

"I want no Republican Party. I want an ineffective, feckless, weak Republican Party, like the Democratic Party is today.
