Escalating Crisis in Lebanon
Journalist Rania Abouzeid reports from Beirut on the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, emphasizing that the situation has worsened over the past month with no signs of de-escalation. Israel’s unrestrained attacks have targeted all segments of Lebanese society, following a strategy known as the "Dahiya doctrine," aimed at creating divisions within the population. According to Abouzeid, "This is the Gaza playbook," and the prevailing sentiment is that this is now a war on all of Lebanon.The United Nations has reported that Israel's offensive has displaced 1.2 million people, including 400,000 children. Recent attacks include an Israeli airstrike on the Beqaa region, following warnings for residents to evacuate. Additionally, a strike on a municipal building in Nabatieh killed at least 16 people, including the city’s mayor and aid workers meeting to coordinate relief efforts.
In another incident, the U.N. peacekeeping forces in Lebanon came under “direct and apparently deliberate fire” from an Israeli tank, which damaged a watchtower and destroyed surveillance equipment. Video evidence has also emerged showing Israeli forces demolishing a historic neighborhood in the Lebanese village of Muhajbib.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller faced questions about Israel's actions, including the destruction of an entire village. Despite acknowledging the footage, he could not clarify Israel's intent or the legitimacy of its targets.
This speaks volumes of the Biden-Harris callous unconcern for the sanctity of human life refusing to acknowledge the appalling mistakes funding the Israeli war machine.
