Israel’s unchecked brutality The numbers released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health paint a horrifying picture of unchecked brutality: more than 4,000 human lives extinguished; over 12,000 individuals maimed and wounded; an entire nation subjected to calculated terror. This is not mere collateral damage; it is a systematic logbook of unpunished war crimes. From the deliberate obliteration of entire villages and the engineering of mass human displacement to the calculated targeting of journalists,…

It also found that killing continued even after the October…

British historian William Dalrymple has sharply rebuked Sky News, accusing the outlet of “shameful complicity in war crimes” after it characterized Israel’s war on Lebanon as “taking a much tougher stance” rather than the “ethnic cleansing of one quarter of a neighbouring state.” In what lexicon is ethnically cleansing one quarter of a neighbouring state “taking a much tougher stance”.

Now a panel of three Washington DC appeal judges have put an “administrative stay” on Leon’s ruling. They described the stay as “procedural” only and insisted that they were making no judgment on the merits of Leon’s decision or the Trump regime’s appeal. But the White…
