Report from Beirut: Israel Bombs Banks, Attacks UNIFIL in Expanding War of Aggression

We get an update on Israel's latest attacks on Lebanese banks, which it accused of holding money for Hezbollah, and the Israeli military's attacks on UNIFIL forces in contravention of both Lebanese sovereignty and the rules of war. "There is nothing that shows they really want to impose a ceasefire," says Jamil Mouawad, a political science professor at the American University of Beirut, of Israel's flouting of international norms and the United States' complicity in its human rights violations.

What they approve of, are Israeli atrocities toward people they hate just as much.

(and also because many MAGATs are of the Armageddonist kind - who think this will bring about the 'second coming')
