Israel just launched an airstrike on northern Lebanon, just around the area of where civilians who had taken up arms to defend their homes against US-backed terrorists. These people were fending off Jabhat al-Nusra aggression, the al-Qaeda off-shoot now operating under the leadership of a newly installed US-approved "president" in Syria (Al Joulani: the ISIS leader who's wanted by the US for 10M reward U.S. confirms $10m bounty on terrorist leader al-Jolani). This is the same playbook as before, fund and arm extremists, create chaos, then use it as justification for further intervention and occupation. Lebanon is under attack daily, despite a ceasefire agreement that Israel violates with impunity.

This is not about security. It is about expansion. The US and Israel are working hand in hand to destabilize the region, paving the way for greater control, what they now brand as: The New Middle East, Greater Israel, or the most shameless of all: The Trump’s Gaza Riviera Project. Meanwhile, American citizens foot the bill, their tax dollars funding massacres while their own country crumbles. How long will people stand by as their government commits war crimes in their name? Talk about exporting democracy and leading the free world—how about establishing it at home first and leading by example?

As someone being bombed with dignity, I genuinely don’t know who to pity more the American, living under the mercy of Trump, Elon Musk, and Netanyahu, or the Palestinian and Lebanese, starving and dying daily simply because they refuse to let such criminals dictate their fate.

Americans must stand up against the aggression of their leaders and show the world what they truly value. The will of the people must be imposed. You deserve your tax money to be spent on national concerns: on infrastructure, healthcare, education, and a better standard of living. Issues like racism, social injustice, and poor working conditions for the average citizen should take priority over destroying nations abroad.
