The Middle East is a place where you can announce to kill βgroups of peopleβ with impunity.
You wouldnβt do that in Venezuela for example, because thatβs in the βwestern hemisphereβ.
But Middle Easterners can be dehumanized and erased en masse.
Shocking.
This will not end well.

Imagine Russian soldiers ticking boxes in their Shengen visa applications for the Paralympics. Promising that they haven't committed crimes against humanity, the crime of genocide and didn't do other bad things π€

Beside Israel's northern border fence, the bursts of machine-gun fire from inside Lebanon are loud and long, as new Israeli forces push in to take strategic positions near the border. The regular rumble of air strikes echoes over the shattered remains of Shia villages, destroyed during Israel's last ground war there in 2024. A senior military official said on Thursday that Israeli ground forces were taking additional hilltops inside Lebanon - a defensive operation, he said, to better protect Israel's northern communities. But there has been a significant military build-up here. On Friday morning we passed dozens of tanks and armoured bulldozers, newly-positioned right by the border, fuelling growing speculation that a full-scale ground invasion is planned.
Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have been fleeing Israeli air strikes in Lebanon over the past few days, less than 18 months after a ceasefire ended the last conflict with Israel in November 2024. During that war, Israel fought its way house to house through many Lebanese border villages. Their crushed remains still litter the landscape. But some Hezbollah fighters have reportedly returned to these areas, and Israel is now fighting its way through the area again. Without those assaults on Hezbollah in 2024, which left a key Iranian proxy severely weakened, Israel would have found it much harder to launch its current war on Iran - or the previous one in June last year - without a much higher cost at home.
This is the language used by the BBC to describe Israel's war on Lebanon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Cited: IDF Chief of Staff, Israeli living near the border, another Israeli, an Israeli politician and a Israeli commentator. No one else.
The Lebanese are just numbers throughout the piece.
Amazing that this essay never even mentions public transportation @thewaroncars.bsky.social

That LinkedIn story is terrifying. Not surprising but still terrifying.
Thank you for these weekly newsletters.
A fucking theocracy.

When you start saying some people are entitled to human rights and others arenβt, youβre on a fast track to becoming the kind of monster you fear.
They killed school girls.
Vulnerable refugees, including children, will now only get temporary protection in the UK. Most migrants will have to wait 10 years to get permanent residency rights. Refugees could have to wait 20 years.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.
Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.
These are the leaders who want to bring βfreedomβ to Iran?
Does anyone really believe that?
Adam Parsons: "In the eyes of many people this is an illegal attack"
No, according to international law it is an illegal attack. Do your job, look out of the window and tell us if its raining.

Nice, but I'm more tempted in a Renault 4L! π
Renault 5. My first car. Bought it second hand with my brother. A bottomless financial pit!
Iβm not the first one to point out that 1- Israel has a Palestinian Mandela, Marwan Barghouti who polls very favourably among Palestinians, in prison
2- Israel is an Apartheid state and figures like Desmond Tutu regularly compared Israel to Apartheid South Africa
How many more times do these people need to get hit in the face by the reality before their publishers finally begin noticing?
