"Don't Do It": Lebanese Lawyer Warns Israel Against Using War to Create a "New Middle East"

[Uncle Joe]

Israeli strikes continue to rain down on Lebanon, including a strike that killed rescue and health workers in Beirut. Lebanese authorities say 1.2 million people have been displaced by the Israeli attacks. Israel announced eight of its soldiers were killed while invading southern Lebanon this week. Israel launched the ground invasion after assassinating Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, despite Nasrallah reportedly agreeing to a 21-day ceasefire. "This overwhelming use of force cannot change people's agency," says Nadim Houry, Lebanese researcher and executive director of the Arab Reform Initiative. "The region does not want to be a satellite of Israel or a satellite of the U.S. And by the way, the region does not want to be a satellite of Iran either. The problem is the region is not really being given much of a choice."

1. The warmonger Netanyahu is out of control. War to create safety for Israel is an illogical oxymoron.

IMO the man is drunk with the power of the weapons that Lebanon nor Gaza has any match for...US weapons btw. We are complicit.

Where are the apologists for this. Why can't we hear from them now?

Who will rein in the warmonger?
