🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 "Insulting Israel is like insulting my wife" - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee


The Lebanese government’s response to ongoing war crimes has been wholly inadequate. Statements of condemnation & security council complaints offer no path to accountability. They have real options they are refusing to take: Give the ICC jurisdiction to investigate & prosecute

A rare sight. Jewish man holds a book of poetry by Mahmoud Dariwsh, and shows up daily to defend Palestinians from Israeli attacks on farmers, and to 'take the heat off them'.

There has been no evidence provided by the Israeli military for any of these claims. Lebanon’s president Joseph Aoun and the Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos denounced the killing of the journalists, with President Aoun calling the attack ‘a blatant crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which journalists enjoy international protection in wars’

Now here's the important "context" Alex fails to cover. While it is true that "disagreements with journos do not justify assassinating them" pursuant to international law, attacking a civilian taking direct part in hostilities IS permitted by #LOAC (and not "assassination"). ⤵️
