Israel Bombs World Heritage Site in Lebanon, Threatens Major Hospital
www.democracynow.org
Israel is escalating its bombardment of Lebanon, leveling numerous buildings, including the offices of Lebanese news station Al Mayadeen. The Israeli military has also attacked the ancient city of Tyre, a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, and killed three Lebanese soldiers in a strike in southern Lebanon, all while continuing to defy international calls for a ceasefire. “What we’re seeing is a complete degeneration into a war that has no rules, that respects no international conventions. There’s one side in this war that has complete impunity,” says Lebanese sociologist Rima Majed in Beirut. “Israel is targeting civilians in most cases. … This is just terrorism.”

    North Americans, don’t be shocked when the shit starts hitting your neighborhood, schools, homes, daycares, and hospitals.

    Whether North Korea, or Venezuela, or Russia, etc, or a newly radicalized individual.

    We have let the world know there are no rules and we are now fair game for any nation that feels like it.

    And we have no right to complain when they do.

      Quite the opposite. The US is demonstrating that it is above any international law and will do what it wants regardless of any standing agreements. It’s demonstrating that the only rules that matter are the ones it makes. Israel is our dog on our leash and we’re letting it bite someone. But if anyone hurts our dog, we’ll go full John Wick on their country. That’s why Israel bombs schools and hospitals without warning and Iran gives a few days notice before they attack.
