So, we just accept this open incitement and hate peddling as the new normal of election campaigns?

@MANJULtoons Epic 😀

इसमें खबर क्या है? ये तो सालों से चल रहा है।

Liberal democracy is dead. Political parties now represent oligarchs. The executive is a mask, a front, a puppet. State institutions, which once had relative autonomy, now bow to the executive. Citizens have no say thanks to constant surveillance and unjust incarceration

Here is a documented breakdown of Israeli war crimes in Lebanon, (not in Gaza or Iran) 1. Use of White Phosphorus Over Residential Areas: The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor. Human Rights Watch verified and geolocated eight images showing airburst white phosphorus munitions being deployed over a residential part of the town, with civil defense workers responding to fires in at least two homes and one car. White phosphorus causes horrific burns and is illegal under IHL when used over civilian areas. 2. Deliberate Attacks on Civilians and Civilian Infrastructure: At least 912 people, including 111 children, have been killed and 2,221 wounded in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2, according to Lebanese Ministry of Public Health figures. The UN Human Rights Office said hundreds of homes and other buildings, including healthcare facilities, have been destroyed, and stated that deliberately attacking civilians or civilian objects amounts to a war crime. On April 8, Israeli strikes hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut without warning, killing at least 254 people and wounding more than 1,000 others, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the US-Iran war. 3. Attacks on Journalists and Media Workers: Since October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have committed numerous violations of the laws of war and apparent war crimes in Lebanon with total impunity, including apparently deliberate or indiscriminate attacks on journalists, civilians, medics, financial institutions, reconstruction-related facilities, and peacekeepers. 4. Glyphosate Herbicide Spraying Over Farmland: Israeli planes sprayed chemical herbicides across Lebanon's southern border in early February 2026, covering approximately 8.5 square kilometers of agricultural land, forests, and livestock grazing areas with glyphosate concentrations up to 50 times higher than standard agricultural use. Euro-Med Monitor described this as part of a pattern of systematic destruction of agricultural land, including the burning of approximately 9,000 hectares using white phosphorus and incendiary munitions, and said the deliberate targeting of the means of civilian life violates the laws of war. The UN OHCHR stated that "attacks on farmland and water sources pose a serious humanitarian risk," and the UNIFIL noted that any IDF activity north of the Blue Line is a violation of UN Resolution 1701. 5. Forced Displacement of Shia Civilians: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Shia residents of southern Lebanon "will not return to their homes south of the Litani area until the safety of Israel's northern residents is guaranteed." HRW said this displacement looks less like a temporary military necessity and more like a move to permanently displace the civilian population based on their religion, a potential war crime. More than one million people, one-fifth of Lebanon's population have been forced to flee their homes in what has become one of the fastest and largest displacements in Lebanon's history, with more than 370,000 children displaced in the first three weeks. 6. Wanton Destruction of Homes and Property: Israel's defense minister ordered "the acceleration of the demolition of Lebanese houses in border villages" following what he called the "Beit Hanoun and Rafah models" from Gaza. HRW said this raises serious risk of the war crime of wanton destruction and violations of the prohibition under international law against deliberately destroying civilian property. 7. Targeting Civilians Based on Religion: Displacement orders stated that the Israeli military "will not hesitate to target anyone who is present near Hezbollah members, facilities, or means of combat." Singling out Shia residents indicates Israel is imposing measures based on religion, which is a human rights violation and suggests civilian security is not the actual aim. 8. Strikes in Violation of Ceasefire: The April 8 bombardment, Israel's largest coordinated strike since the renewed war began took place hours after the US-Iran ceasefire was announced, with Lebanon included in the truce per Pakistan's mediation. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri called the attacks a "full-fledged war crime." 9. Attacks on Civilian Buildings with No Military Target: Amnesty International investigated the November 2024 strike on the Cherri building in central Beirut, which killed seven civilians, and found no evidence of a military target in the vicinity at the time, concluding the strike should be investigated as a war crime. A civil complaint has since been filed before France's War Crimes Unit. The evidence is no longer a matter of dispute. White phosphorus over residential neighborhoods. Carcinogenic herbicide sprayed on farmland at thirty times safe levels. A million civilians displaced along sectarian lines. Hospitals, journalists, families at Iftar, all targeted. These are not the fog-of-war accidents that governments invoke when they want to look away. They are documented, verified, and systematic. When the UN, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International converge on the same conclusion, war crimes and the word means something. And so does the silence of every government that continues to supply weapons, diplomatic cover, and political protection to the state carrying them out. Supporting Israel's conduct in Lebanon is not a neutral foreign policy position. It is a choice to be complicit in what international law already has a name for. The world needs to realize, when you support Israel, you support a genocidal war criminal and a bloodthirsty psychopath.

Israel is in the grip of a genocidal regime...

NATO’s ‘historic’ purpose was always ‘Europe’, according to Lord Ismay — keep the Russians out, the Germans down and the Americans in. NATO should have been disbanded when the Soviet Union broke up and the Warsaw Pact dissolved but wasn’t because Bush Sr, Clinton and US arms manufacturers wanted to keep both the Europeans and the Russians down, the Americans in and the weapons procurement bill up and up. The Europeans went along with this agenda but were careful to not let NATO be used ‘out of area’ (eg Desert Storm). The high water mark of NATO’s emergence as an aggressive, offensive alliance came in 1999 when it attacked Serbia—the last European domino of the Cold War which remained—and that too without the fig leaf of a UN resolution. Then came the war in Afghanistan when NATO invoked Article 5 and tried (unsuccessfully) to help the US ‘stabilise’ the occupation after the US military ousted the Taliban regime. By the time the illegal American invasion of Iraq came along in 2003, however, NATO and its biggest European members refused to get involved. In 2011, the fig leaf of UNSCR 1973 was used to involve NATO in out of area aggression again (from which Libya has still not recovered) but that was pretty much the last time the alliance got involved collectively in war fighting and ‘regime change’ on behalf of the US. Any rational assessment of European security post 1990 is likely to conclude that reliance on an expanded, US- led, aggressive NATO has been bad for Europe and the world. It made conflict in Europe more likely rather than less (think Russia’s invasion of Ukraine). The US aim in first pushing ‘partnership for peace’ and then NATO expansion was to forestall the emergence of a cohesive European owned and led security architecture and keep Europe tied to America. This process worked pretty well for the US but reached its limit a few years ago, in Ukraine. And now the US is taking a wrecking ball to what remains. First came the US threats against Denmark and Greenland, then the use of tariffs as compellance. It is clear that the US is no friend of Europe. Globally, the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president, the inhuman blockade of Cuba and now the illegal and catastrophic war against Iran and Lebanon tells us just how destabilising and destructive the US can be. The US today is the world’s single biggest security threat and the sooner Europe world faces up to this the better. Europe and the world have already paid a huge price for their inability to constrain American military power. It will take the world economy more than a decade to recover from the disruption caused by the American-Israeli attack on Iran. What countries around the world need to do is find ways to collectively impose costs on the US for its rogue and reckless behaviour. Trump should be encouraged to follow through with his promise to exit NATO. Let this ‘useless’ organisation be disbanded and let Europe take charge of its own security free of the disruptive, counterproductive American protection racket that has been running all these years.
