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

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

The more the modern world falls apart, the more I understand why the Phoenicians did better after the Bronze Age collapse than the Egyptians. They didn't cling to things "too big to fail," nor did they give up on imagining alternative options.

The world is a large theater with a small exit door. The definition of the sucker is someone who focuses on the size of the theater, not the size of the door.

Joe Kent's wife Shannon was killed by an ISIS suicide bomb in Syria in 2019. She was a Navy cryptologist with JSOC, fluent in four languages, a mother of two. He buried her at Arlington. Then he spent 7 years turning his grief into a career fighting the wars that took her. This is a 20-year Green Beret. 11 combat tours. CIA paramilitary. The man Trump trusted to run the National Counterterrorism Center. He's not a pundit giving takes from a studio. He knows what a flag-draped coffin looks like up close. 170,000 people liked that post in two hours. 12 million saw it. But the number that matters is two. That's how many sons are growing up without their mother because of a war just like this one. When the person with the most skin in the game tells you it's wrong, you listen.

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics. This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.
