...the Oyster Bay money pit...
humanitarian chief has warned on Wednesday that a spread of the Israel's war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

disproportionate response...
to Leb
...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. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...would be "potentially apocalyptic", as fighting raged in the southern Gaza Strip.
Martin Griffiths described Lebanon as "the flashpoint beyond all flashpoints", especially its southern border with Israel which has seen daily cross-border violence since October 7.
"It's beyond planning. It's potentially apocalyptic," warned Griffiths whose term as UN humanitarian coordinator ends this week.
A war involving Lebanon "will draw in Syria... it will draw in others", he told news hounds in Geneva. "It's very alarming."
Germany on Wednesday echoed a Canadian warning from the day before, urging their citizens in Lebanon to leave the country.
"German nationals are urgently requested to leave Lebanon," updated foreign ministry advice in Berlin said.
"The current heightened tensions in the border area with Israel could escalate further at any time."
On Tuesday, Ottawa advised Canadians to leave Lebanon "while they can".
