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.

"A U.S. diplomat who was in the embassy when McGurk arrived found his steady advance astonishing. β€œBrett only meets people who speak English. … There are like four people in the government who speak English. And somehow he’s now the person who should decide the fate of Iraq? How did this happen?”"

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

My 89 yo Lebanese-Palestinian-Italian grandmother, who fled the Nakba in 48 as a child to Lebanon, has essentially never lived more than a few years at a time in nearly a century of existence without being impacted by Israeli state violence.

And then they call this 'crisis in the middle east.'

168 people reported killed. Mostly children. Their family members will never ever forgive us. I don't care that it was next to a military base - if you can't shoot straight, you shouldn't be shooting. If you're trying to call them "human shields," well, US military bases have schools too.

Even when Macron expresses solidarity with Lebanon his most tangible action is to send armored vehicles to a do nothing army for a do nothing central government. Where are the sanctions on the aggressor state which now occupies the territory of three other countries France has relations with?

But of course, this will put you on hate list from both side.

And to add, being extreme is also not only annoying but very often do damage that affect everyone.

Becoming extreme on one side is never a good idea (and annoying too). Hardline no AI/LLM at all, or AI for all and replace human is one of example.

Be moderate, acknowledge both the benefit and the issue and problem, while actively trying to solved the issue.

The LLM itself is fine, and I do fasicate about it's capability.

Unfortunately the greedy of the capitalist (how the training is done, the statement of this will replace human and it's impact on mass layoff, and gobbling whole compute resources) is ruining it's reputation.

This is a introspectional must read especially for journos. It dissects how a series of investigative stories on a trove of leaked docs containing data & gruesome photos of Syria's forcibly disappeared, ended up retraumatizing families.

Critical reflection on the duty to inform, & minimizing harm.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
