My city, Beit Hanoun, a city once home to 50,000 people, the “green city” that exported citrus and olives to the world. Its hospitals and clinics, its schools and mosques, its kindergartens and bridges, its homes, streets, and infrastructure, everything was completely bombed. And after it was bombed, it was bulldozed, until the city became a barren desert filled with piles of rubble. Here, the “most moral” army committed a genocide, leaving not a single house undestroyed, not even an olive tree remains.

How quickly Spain forgets. This day (April 12) in 1985, Iran via Hezbollah bombed the El Descanso Restaurant (9 miles from Madrid & minutes from the US Torrejon Air Base) on a busy Friday night & murdered 18 Spanish civilians while wounding another 84 (including 11 American airmen). At around 10:30 p.m. a Hezbollah terrorist placed a sports bag containing roughly 5 kg of high explosive under the bar counter and walked out. Minutes later the bomb detonated. The blast was so powerful that the entire three-story building collapsed, pancaking the upper floors onto the ground level and basement where between 200–300 diners and staff were eating, drinking, and enjoying a normal evening. Hezbollah made clear their main target was the US airmen, but they did not care how many Spanish civilians they killed: “The bomb was meant as an attack against the Yankee armed forces.”
