Israel becoming a threat to world peace

When war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before the UN Assembly and claimed that there was a missile in every kitchen in Lebanon, the subtext of this absurd assertion was loud and clear – Israel will claim Hezbollah is using civilians as human shields as cover to expand their genocidal killing spree to Lebanon with impunity, just as they have done to excuse their massacres of civilians in Gaza. 

Shortly after that speech on Friday, Israel dropped 87 tons of United States supplied bombs on the suburbs of southern Beirut, Lebanon, assassinating Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and a yet undetermined number of innocent civilians.

This is not the first political assassination carried out during this nearly yearlong terror campaign by Israel. In July, Israel assassinated Hamas’ chief negotiator, Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. Nasrallah’s assassination will certainly add yet more fuel to the fire burning out of control in the Middle East.

Kamala Harris’ response to this dangerous escalation was swift – she praised the assassination of Nasrallah, claiming that today Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of peace while reiterating her unwavering support to Israel, assuring that she will continue to provide them with US weapons and billions upon billions of taxpayers’ money to fund their carnage across the region.

Lately the Biden-Harris administration approved another 8.7 billion dollar weapons transfer to aid and abet Israeli war crimes.

What was missing from Kamala’s statement was any measure of concern for the people of Lebanon as they’re victimized by the kind of shock and awe bombing campaigns reminiscent of George W. Bush and prominent Kamala Harris endorser Dick Cheney in the early 2000s when they launched their illegal invasion of Iraq.

In fact, even George Bush demonstrated more concern for the loss of 12 innocent lives in 2002, when he condemned a residential bombing in the West Bank that assassinated a leader of Hamas. At least 1000 people have been killed since Israel started its onslaught of violence in Lebanon two weeks ago, and the death toll of this most recent bombing of six residential buildings is still unknown as teams comb through the rubble for human remains.

Biden and Harris are following Netanyahu headlong into an escalating cycle of violence that can only lead to more war, death, and suffering.

As Israel slaughters tens of thousands of innocent civilians with full US backing, they are creating more enemies than they can ever assassinate.

The United States need new leadership to stop this military madness by cutting off all US arms and funding to Israel to force an immediate ceasefire and end to the illegal occupation of Palestine.
