Somebody lied to you and called you a “journalist” and you have believed them ever since
Steve Sweeney@SweeneySteve
Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines. But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes. Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities. What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life

So sick of being called antisemitic by Jews just for criticizing Israel. Then again, what more would you expect from these bloodthirsty, money-grubbing demons who killed the Baby Jesus, JFK, and Charlie Kirk, and now manipulate everyone on earth (except me and some podcasters).

@SCynic1 Indeed!
Why was Mr Sweeney standing on a bridge when he’s just reported Israel is disrupting Hezbollah supply lines by bombing bridges?
I suspect the real target was the bridge - not him!
Does he work for Russia Today?
English
Poor Steve. That was yesterday.
Today he says he didn’t know Israel was bombing bridges.
Sad: we know that working for Russia Today rots both brain cells and moral sense, but if no idea it was so quick.

@Glinner Well said!
Typical Sturgeon though - ‘do as I say, not as I do’
What a brass neck!

One of the worst traitors to women and lesbians in history.
The Herald@heraldscotland
An emotional Nicola Sturgeon makes her final contribution in Holyrood. The former FM is stepping away after 27 years. "For the sake of the children who rely on us to look after them ... to those who will occupy these benches in a few weeks time, keep the promise."

@BladeoftheS But its people are prisoners living in a one-party state - why can’t Cubans leave and return to Cuba if they wish?
English
Since the liberation of Cuba in 1959 from US imperialism.
The USA has bombed 25 countries, invaded 13 countries and killed at least 20m people.
The 'evil' Cuba has bombed no one, invaded no one, and killed no one.
¡Viva Cuba!

@hippyygoat Daftie comment - why isn’t she bothered about an Islamic state for Pakistan or Bangladesh?
Why is a Jewish homeland such a bother?

ZIONISM AND ISRAEL HAVE FAILED THE WORLD.
It's time to put it in the rubbish bin.
Dr. Ghada Karmi, describes Zionism as purely evil.
She states it has caused disasters, misery, atrocities, wars, aggression, unhappiness, and insecurity for millions.
The ideology, she argues, has no place in a just world and must end.

This the dude who ignored a warning and went to where the IDF said it would bomb?

"It was a deliberate attempt to silence us..." British journalist Steve Sweeney talks about surviving Israeli bombing.

A Russian propagandist is not even trying to hide his support for terrorists.

Hey @SweeneySteve, it’s unwise to stand where you know the IDF is currently operating and targeting. Don’t come whining afterwards.

@Mark1957 @cathy_mudge One of my local fire stations has a massive decal on a door saying “we’re recruiting” and a Progress Pride flag. Can we assume that non-LGBTQ+++ people need not apply? 🤷♀️

"Journalist" is a bit of a stretch. He's a paid-up propagandist for the Kremlin.

🚨BREAKING -- British journalist Steve Sweeney has been targeted by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.

BREAKING:
The IDF has issued a statement on the viral video showing an airstrike narrowly hitting RT propagandists standing on a bridge targeted by Israel and used by Hezbollah for "both terrorist movement and to transfer thousands of weapons."
“In footage released in the past few hours, a journalist is seen at the ‘Qasmiya’ crossing. An explicit warning had been issued regarding this area. The crossing was struck after sufficient time had passed since the warning."
The Russian state TV channel RT ignored the evacuation warnings, resulting in its staff members being slightly injured.

No idea who this dude is, but I see he’s reporting for Russian state propaganda channel RT. Better question to ask is why he was in such close proximity to Hezbollah?
Steve Sweeney@SweeneySteve
Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

As Israel tries to murder another British journalist we must remember they are the biggest War Criminal on the planet, and it is not just Genocide.
They have murdered more journalists in 3 years than the rest of the planet combined have killed in 87 years.

Israel: We are going to strike these bridges that cross the Litani River. This is a warning so that civilians and journalists do not go to this area when it is going to be hit.
RT's Steve Sweeney: I will go there anyway.
The internet: Wow Israel tried to kill a journalist!

“Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike”
Sir, you literally posted *yesterday* that Israel said it was striking bridges.
