...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

On Tuesday, an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah maimed nine soldiers in Iqrit.

#1 I wonder if NYT authors already preparing articles about total unacceptability of IDF attacks on "civilian" targets in Lebanon. And Tony Gutieres fiery speeches about laws of war.

p.s. Globalist logic:
(1) Ukrainian Nationalists are not Nazis, because Zelensky is a Jews!
(2) Israel ARE the new Nazis!!!
