I’m horrified by the IDF😡

Not sure how Israel ever comes back from what they've become. They've turned their Holy land into a Dystopian hellscape and will forever be tied to the suffering of millions of people. What a shame for the entire world.

A few quick thoughts:

1. This is part of Israel's goal of a "Greater Israel," which not only includes southern Lebanon, but everything from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers.

2. This targeting of hospitals because Hezbollah supposedly is in there -- is a repeat of Israel's assertions that "Hamas is in every building" in Gaza. Not only are these lies, these are works of pure evil.

3. The silver lining, though, to these war crimes is that none of Israel's aims will come to fruition. You simply cannot wipe out more than one million people in Southern Lebanon, more than two million in Gaza, or more than 90 million in Iran.

Lastly, let us remind ourselves that the entire Middle East is changing radically, and it will not end the way Trump or Netanyahu imagine. Larger forces are at work and we need to have patience and hope.

Americans DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ILLEGAL CONFLICT!

"From an international law perspective, civilians and civilian objects should not be targeted for attack,” Bekerle added. “But healthcare workers, facilities, and ambulances are especially protected.”

..apparently not as protected as Israel.

This is a problem.

No one - no nation-state, no entity of any sort - is more important than any other. Period. The human experiment will meet a gruesome and completely unnecessary end if we do not resist supremacy of any form.

First it was hospitals in Gaza. Now it’s ambulances in Lebanon. The playbook seems clear: destroy the medical system, then claim everything you hit was secretly “military.”

Israel has become a fascist state, with its Leader waging continuous war accompanied by massive destruction and victimization of the powerless. There is nothing left of any real Judaism in public Israel. It is all about expansion and waging aggressive wars against anyone who might want to challenge them, conducted in the main part, by their authoritarian giant buddy in the West. Anyone who is still a Zionist, despite all these thing, might want to reconsider and join Jewish Voice for Peace, the moral voice of Judaism.

‘Bekerle noted that the Israeli military has a long record of publishing lies . . . ‘

Well, ain’t that the truth.

I'd like to hear more about how the Iranians are doing with their arms response to Israel.
