 How many more civilian lives turned to dust?
This was filmed today in #Beirut—where the #war machine hides behind the skies, raining UStaxpayers funded Israeli missiles on city buildings, too cowardly to face the Lebanese on the ground inside #Lebanon. https://video.nostr.build/0d38c6cf2245d801197dfff5b28be1925ab59ee66b691ef6d3d4a0f936a2c09a.mp4  nostr:note1epy6p3xe4072h47ga29v099c65snuapvslx5z45ufrd280atyc8q4h2vtq 
 Fuckin' sad man😕. 
 But hey if it’s Putin doing it on Ukraine it’s a complete different world intervention and media propaganda. 
 Yep. That's the way the world works!  
 Not for long. 
 Hopefully. 
 To face the "Lebanese"??? Or to face the inbred goatfuckers hiding behind the Lebanese civilians? Isn't Hezbollah the dictionary definition of cowards with their tactics? Building their bunkers under hospitals?

The pager surprise was like pulling the pants down Hezbollas arse, showing the world they are dickless idiots. 

The civilians are even getting calls from idf to leave the areas before the bombings...

 
 Devastating... 
 109 times for good reason, because this is always the end result.

ALWAYS THE END RESULT. 
 Conflating Hezbollah with Lebanese is a contemptible propagandist's trick.

Most Lebanese people don't support Hezbollah and their islamofascist takeover of Lebanon.

Lebanon used to be civilized with a thriving Christian population. Women used to be able to wear what they wanted. Where is that now?

Hezbollah invited retribution by firing rockets into Israel at civilians (children). FAFO 
 Imagine living in a building where one neighbor forcefully moves in, violently evicting the majority of the building’s flat-owners. This neighbor then occupies one of your rooms—just like that, for decades. To make matters worse, they install cameras and microphones in your bedroom, living room, and even your bathroom, monitoring your every move at will. Whenever you or other flat-owners in the building—or even nearby neighbors—try to resist, you’re all shot at: newborns, children, women, and men. But that same despicable neighbor controls the media and academia, manipulating narratives so you’re not even allowed to name the injustice. Instead, you’re expected to obey and submit like a traumatized, abused animal.

This neighbor is Israel. No one “invited” retribution. If you haven’t been paying attention to the almost 50,000 massacred civilians in Gaza, or the thousands killed in Lebanon in 1976, 1982, 2006, and now in 2024, I urge you to learn the history. I refuse to act as a traumatized, defeated victim. When I see a killer occupying one of my rooms after massacring tens of thousands of my neighbors, I refuse to cower and accept it. If you choose to live that way, that is your choice—but millions like me will not.

Lebanon is far greater than any one political party. When a genocidal aggressor oppresses our sovereignty, violates our independence, and targets our civilians, our internal differences become secondary. In war, when faced with an enemy intent on domination, I stand with my fellow Lebanese siblings to defend our land and dignity—not side with an aggressor seeking our submission. This fight is about survival, dignity, and the right to live free from tyranny.

And as for what Lebanese women can and cannot wear—go on YouTube, see for yourself, and realize just how wrong and brainwashed you have been. 
 We do it slower in the #USA via gentrification & imminent domain laws.
Add in gerrymandering, redlining etc for racism. 

Blame the addiction of opioids on Addicts & allow the Supreme Court to let the Sacklers pay 10K a head per death. 💀 below 👇 

More than 500,000 people in the United States have died from drug overdoses involving opioids, and millions more suffer from opioid use disorder.

Sacklers deal is expected to distribute more than $5 billion over the next decade to public trusts created to fund drug treatment and health care programs.

Visionary mind led to riches 
Beyond all my human self could imagine 
One Dream was of every human recognizing 
   We are one human kind 
And humans fell swiftly to the ground 
Help me, it’s all so painful 
Cosmic nuclear explosion of minds. 
There is free. 
There is will. 
You are more than capable 


 
 Valid parallel  @pamplemousse 🫎 👍  
 Thanks friend and good morning 😃  
 GM! 
 Israel and Judah were there for many hundreds of years before the Jews were violently evicted by Arabs.

The part of ancient Syria that later became Lebanon was occupied by Maronites - Christians under attack by Romans and Persians for hundreds of years. Arabs kicked them out and turned Lebanon into an islamofascist ethnostate.

The "neighbor" is Arabs. Arabs are native to Arabia but colonized the whole Levant as well as Northern Africa and large parts of Europe. That invasion is being resisted by the native peoples they displaced. If you haven't been paying attention to the history then I urge you to read it. But I think you know full well really.

 Your comment showcases how deeply the fiat system's media and academic propaganda machines have gripped you. Before parroting narratives that sanitize the brutal atrocities against Lebanon and Palestine, do smarter research. These claims aren't just false; they're tools meant to blind, distract, and defend oppression, especially for the readers in the West. Confront the truth—unfiltered, and unshackled.

◻️ Ancient Israel and Judah: 
Yes, Israel and Judah existed—over 2,500 years ago. The kingdoms fell due to Assyrian and Babylonian conquests, not "Arab violence." The Jewish diaspora spread due to Roman oppression centuries before Arab influence in the region even emerged. Clinging to millennia-old kingdoms as a claim to modern land ownership? It’s as absurd as Spain demanding California back based on colonial conquest. Historical claims do not justify present-day displacement of Palestinians.

◻️ Maronites in Lebanon: 
The reality is that the Lebanese Maronites weren’t "kicked out" by Arabs; they found refuge and built strongholds in Mount Lebanon. Centuries of coexistence and cooperation between Maronites, Druze, and Muslims shaped Lebanon’s complex history. The depiction of Lebanon as an "islamofascist ethnostate" ignores that most Lebanese Muslims view Christians positively, the highest in any predominantly Muslim nation. Your “ethnostate” narrative serves only to distort and divide—a familiar tactic to justify foreign domination. We have 18 religious sects in Lebanon and the Lebanese constitution because we have a diverse population coexisting since Lebanon existed. And this is exactly why Lebanon is known to be the most modern Arab country.

◻️ Arabs in the Levant: Indigenous Presence, Not Colonization
The "Arab colonization" argument ignores that the Levant is home to a diverse Arab identity shaped through centuries of cultural exchange, migration, and settlement. Arabs did not descend from Arabia to colonize; they integrated and became indigenous, evolving alongside other communities. Meanwhile, modern political #Zionism's central planning expropriated land from Palestinians—real families and communities—based on a religious-ethnic ideology.

◻️ Colonization and Today’s Reality: Violating Sovereignty
The displacement of Palestinians in 1948 and beyond, including ongoing land theft, demolitions, and settlements, is not a footnote. It is a deliberate strategy of dispossession. Imagining Italy reclaiming North Africa or Britain seizing land in India because of past empires exposes the absurdity. History may have ghosts, but stealing homes and violating property rights in real-time is something else: colonization in plain sight.

⏰ If you’re serious about history, I invite you to confront the present reality. Historical myths cannot erase ongoing injustices on #Lebanon and #Palestine. All the above points are supported by open-source public records and reputable publications. I invite those with intellectual curiosity to verify and explore the facts for themselves. 
 I’m starting to understand why Jews aren’t well thought of. They want to play the victim card, all the while, they are the actual aggressors. 
 Zionists be like "But the ancestors of the Palestinians sold their land to the Jews. And the Jews made the land fertile. Before the Jews arrived it was not fertile nor a piece of land one can live on" 
Totally ignoring that the authority to buy the land was given to them by a occupying force.  
 Historical land sales were limited and do not justify mass dispossession, while the myth of "barren land" is a colonial narrative meant to erase Palestinian history. Doing so contradicts the very principles of private property and liberty.
