‘… a part of Lebanon’ - I think they want it all.

They are using Hezbollah as an excuse to bomb civilians, order the displacement of 20% of it’s population. It’s akin to a foreign country telling 70 million Americans to leave their homes because the bombing will begin. Sometimes it’s with barely enough time to run out the door.

But it’s worse. Lebanon is a small, more densely populated country. Where are they all supposed to go? They are in tents, shelters, on the streets, in cars, at friends/relatives, while their homes are destroyed.

How the hell is the world allowing this? They are openly saying they intend to take part of the country, flatten it, an area proportionately the size of CA/AZ/NM to the United States. Then they’ll continue in Beirut where they’ve been bombing,

All this land grab by, and enabled by, super powers is outrageous!

T has his own shopping list.
