Great article. Seems the trolls are out in force which indicates you are speaking truth and they are getting worried. Keep up the good work. This article is well written, researched and supported.
Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
Yeah, let’s talk about a society where children learn racism from every adult they meet and despite never having met a Palestinian, but only seen them from a distance, hate them enough to want to kill them because they aren’t human and pose a danger to their lives. If - and that’s a big if - Palestinian children are taught to kill Jews, bully for them. The Jews are foreign invaders intent on destroying the Palestinians. I’d have my kid out for target practice every night with a silhouette of an ugly hook nosed Jew in the cross hairs for him to fire at.

@Little Nell what is your evidence for your claims? I know this view is repeated in the NYT, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, AP News, The Guardian and such … but I never read or heard any concrete evidence. Indeed, I never saw or experienced this personally, from 5 trips to Israel where I was around multiple generations of families. Are you are a troll? Or worse, someone who is too lazy - intellectually or otherwise - to dig just a bit beneath the surface and get real facts to support (or refute - which is what you’d learn) your assertions. Spend only 5 minutes at www.palwatch.org, then report back. That’s just one suggestion. I have more, but will leave it at that for now.
How many Jews are killed by the Palestinians? Let’s hear the statistics. And then we’ll compare it with how many Palestinians are killed by the Zionists.
Oh God. You Jews find one note and then you just keep playing it and playing it and playing it, like a rat in a Skinner Box. Does Tel Aviv send you a check to compensate you for your time?
no but even if they did it wouldnt hold a candle to the decades of pay for slay “martyr” payments pushed out to countless Palestinian terrorists AND theyre families. Maybe the IDF soldiers ought to have a fund like that. and bully for them

They accuse their enemies of their own atrocities. An Israeli woman tells that she was half nude when Hamas took her as hostage. Because of that, she expected to be rapped. But none of the Hamas fighter did it. They gave her a piece of clothing to cover herself. The video is on the web.

Thanks for your opinion. Like the fakey, pretentious Roman name. However you are probably not a Gaius at all. Just a sad little hasbara bot, with the same little pushcart of timeworn and easily disproved lies. It’s a living, I guess.

Ink was invented 2300-2500 BCE. Writing paper around 200 BCE. Since ink to paper touched one another, this article would certainly be in that upper one percent of the dumbest, laziest most ignorant article I have read, since some writer of a literary masterpiece tried to convince me to support “Gays for Gaza.”
Seriously, the great Joseph Pulitzer, a Jew, would have stayed in St. Louis and made beer had he read this “article.”
As I started reading and scrolling down, I made a bet with myself that either the second to last page or last page would be a paint by numbers screen, but alas. Let’s look at some of this genius writing.
The Bibas Family. “Why are we hearing so much, blah, blah, blah…I dunno, 1 infant and 1 child were held in captivity and no one stated they were dead. Then we find out they were strangled to death you #%*+, and Oh By The Way, they were murdered last November. Furthermore you ^#}{*%{ +*^^, they returned, oops, they returned the wrong body. And by the way this just happened you *^%#}.
So your question to whomever you were writing this “article” to, “But why are we hearing so much about this story now?” Is the National Enquirer still looking for talent? Neo-Nazis are laughing at such a moronic question.
You know, I was going to go through your entire article and really tear into it as honestly, you seem as “naive, as Lois Lane.” I dunno, maybe I’ll do a video on it because every paragraph is more than just the obvious rhetoric and lies, but this will be a litmus test for me and Substack.
Sorry, I can’t help myself. I promise I’m going, just one more.
“In this article (pughlease), I will discuss how it fits a pattern of Israel teaming up with Western Governments and the mainstream media to use atrocity propaganda to justify support for Israeli atrocities.”
My gosh. Alright, Israel main supporters and only military supporters ARE IN THE WEST. Do you understand how much easier it would be for Israel if the had “Western Allies” near them? What pattern you say? Tell me, what’s Israel’s options fighting on 4 fronts. How about this, “I will discuss how it fits a pattern, of Hamas teaming up with Iran and without question most of the media by far to use atrocity propaganda to justify support for Hamas atrocities.
The only decent thing that has come out of Gaza since 2005, is they are now the world leader in digging. Digging tunnels, pools, basements, whatever.
I will leave with this. If you equate the amount of Israelis dead on October 7th, to US population, it would have been around 49,000 killed on that day. Furthermore, we probably wouldn’t be having this discussion because that “Western Country, would have annihilated that whole area.
I’m seeing a lot more documentaries on YouTube about the Nazi Holocaust. I believe that it's intentional to stir up sympathy for the Zionists in “Israel”/ZION.
“Oh, look how they suffered! That gives them a Get Out of Jail Free card!”
Every day every day we hear Western leaders repeat the sickening mantra that Islam is a religion of peace. Whenever an atrocity is commited in the name of Islam, whenever somebody is beheaded in Syria or Iraq, Barrack Obama, David Cameron, my own Dutch prime minister Mr. Rutte and many, many other of their colleagues rush to television cameras to tell the world that it has nothing to do with Islam. How stupid do they think we are? Are we stupid? We are not stupid. Look at the Quran. See that the Quran and Islam mean violence."

Let me be Blunt: This is BS with a capital B. Babies kidnapped and murdered by bare hand. No way could I be manipulated by this horror (Being facetious). Such Baloney. 10 minutes of my life has been ripped from me by this post and my response.
This is good however I think it would be useful to include the provocations throughout 2023, including the clear maneuvering tgat was being done by Ben-Gvir-backed third temple extremists to normalize Jewish desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ben-Gvir's statements that Israel will take it and Jerusalem over; the Israeli police beating worshippers all spring and summer; the May 2023 aerial attack on Gaza, during which an officer told the press *after* having already killed their targets and at least 4x that number of civilians including children that they were going to continue for a few more days and they expected a military response which they hadn't gotten yet and to my understanding did not-at that time. That attack is written up on electronicintifada.net. There's also Ben-Gvir's demonstrated intensification of provocations coupled with his strategy statement: that he would deem anyone responding to the provocations as "disloyal" and then expel them from their own country.
These are all in 2023 except for B-G's strategy statement which iirc was August of 2022. His activities are likely key to the eventual response, as the mosque encroachments were deliberate and also coupled with physical attacks on the structure, suspicion of tunneling under it, and so on. His aims on the mosque are clear; he's associated with the extremist movement. He began making moves in Jan 2023, pretty much immediately upon taking power. Hence as I understand it, the manifesto stated that defending the mosque, which is central to the religion, was a key reason.

the judaic savages are committing worse than that and have also been lying about it, on top of their other sins. As the oldest, most primitive of the Abrahamic sects, they live up to that primitivism in all ways. Their savage talmudic permissions for kid-fucking and other bodily harms to those around them, and generally paying off their thunder-god for what other religions rightly recognize as requiring *moral* effort, are the foundation of the stream of abuses we see issuing from the zionists' rotten souls every single day. The disgusting zionists were identified as pathological in 1891 by their own tribal member, Ahad Ha'am, who advised them in " Truth From Eretz Israel" of the practical consequences of their actions: they could not help themselves and have continued to this day. Have you ever *been* around a Zionist? I have. They're the most immoral fucks one could hope to meet, worse than the soldiery of the Rwandan genocide, or any other atrocity one cares to think of that they don't already have written down in the book of gloating obsession which they call a religious text.
I don't care about this drivel you're spouting. It is talking about a separate problem, which has been caused in large part by the actions of the Israelis over time. The Zionists should be the first group sent to colonize space, starting tomorrow. Then after things have settled down, the rest of the human population can figure out what other behavioral problems need to be addressed.
They did not JUST DIE as hostages in GAZA . They were atrociously MURDERED in the hands of these terrorists who are the personification of pure evil among the humanity

We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
One of the more stupid takes I've ever heard was yours just now maybe you can learn from a fellow traveler of Christian origin who used to dwell in Lebanon

What’s your point? You have not provided any answer to the problem either. One could say yours was a supremely stupid comment. We already know that islam is incapable of living in peace with any others unless you submit to allah. They hate the Jews.
The same zionist terrorist bombs shot by the invading colonizing anti-life zionist neo-nazi supremacists (who believe that the lives of those who a very specific (childish and God-ignorant) religious label placed upon them at birth are superior in value and importance to the rest of humsnity - their terrorist bombs that murder, maim, brutalize and traumatize hundreds of thousands of indigenous children, mothers, fathers and elderly. But of course the indigenous people are inferior sub human from the perspective of the NAZI ZIONIST culture since they didn't have the correct religious label placrd upon them at birth and don't have the sacred "jewish blood" (as zionist supremacists call it) running through their veins.

Exceptional discussion as to how Israel attempts to justify her actions. Comments are all polarized—one sided. Everyone tries to make their chosen side the righteous one. It’s all bullshit trying to prove one side better overall. This is a blood feud. Ancient animosity. Hate going back for generations. Motivated by flawed logic like “Once we get the upper hand, we’ll finally be safe.” Then desperation to take and hold power leads to atrocities. Either side sinks to horrific violence to get the upper hand. And we armchair criticize believing that there’s a civilized way to kill each other and ‘what them others be doing ain’t it.’ Who believes, on close examination, that there’s a civilized way to violate the life of another human being. Sure, defend yourself, but without ever looking at your own part in encouraging others to violence? That’s our collective responsibility. We’ve got a few people with too much power and money who are using our issues to get us to kill each other. That’s a good place to start looking. These issues that make us feel good about hurting, maiming and killing. I’d say that’s closer to the core of the problem. These unresolved issues in us that make us too easily manipulated. Why aren’t we all putting our foot down and insisting that the insanity has gone far enough? Think about it.

Great article. Seems the trolls are out in force which indicates you are speaking truth and they are getting worried. Keep up the good work. This article is well written, researched and supported.

It was all within the control of Hamas to stop. All they had to do was to return the hostages and stop using civilians as human shields.
It helps if they would stop teaching their children to Kill the Jew where u fukin find them or is that too much to ask.
Yeah, let’s talk about a society where children learn racism from every adult they meet and despite never having met a Palestinian, but only seen them from a distance, hate them enough to want to kill them because they aren’t human and pose a danger to their lives. If - and that’s a big if - Palestinian children are taught to kill Jews, bully for them. The Jews are foreign invaders intent on destroying the Palestinians. I’d have my kid out for target practice every night with a silhouette of an ugly hook nosed Jew in the cross hairs for him to fire at.

@Little Nell what is your evidence for your claims? I know this view is repeated in the NYT, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, AP News, The Guardian and such … but I never read or heard any concrete evidence. Indeed, I never saw or experienced this personally, from 5 trips to Israel where I was around multiple generations of families. Are you are a troll? Or worse, someone who is too lazy - intellectually or otherwise - to dig just a bit beneath the surface and get real facts to support (or refute - which is what you’d learn) your assertions. Spend only 5 minutes at www.palwatch.org, then report back. That’s just one suggestion. I have more, but will leave it at that for now.
How many Jews are killed by the Palestinians? Let’s hear the statistics. And then we’ll compare it with how many Palestinians are killed by the Zionists.
Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right. Learn to live Stop The Hate.
Oh God. You Jews find one note and then you just keep playing it and playing it and playing it, like a rat in a Skinner Box. Does Tel Aviv send you a check to compensate you for your time?
no but even if they did it wouldnt hold a candle to the decades of pay for slay “martyr” payments pushed out to countless Palestinian terrorists AND theyre families. Maybe the IDF soldiers ought to have a fund like that. and bully for them

Blow it out your ass!
Hate More Ass Wipe.
Hate more, ass wipe! I imagine you saying that like the dumb ass Neanderthal you are. Ugh! Hate more…ass wipe!
They accuse their enemies of their own atrocities. An Israeli woman tells that she was half nude when Hamas took her as hostage. Because of that, she expected to be rapped. But none of the Hamas fighter did it. They gave her a piece of clothing to cover herself. The video is on the web.
So it’s OK to toss infants into ovens. Good to know.
Yeah. If they’re Israeli kids. Sure. Only that never happened, so why do you keep repeating the same lies?
Why do you keep denying the rapes and atrocities? You need counseling
Got evidence of babies in oven?

Ink was invented 2300-2500 BCE. Writing paper around 200 BCE. Since ink to paper touched one another, this article would certainly be in that upper one percent of the dumbest, laziest most ignorant article I have read, since some writer of a literary masterpiece tried to convince me to support “Gays for Gaza.”
Seriously, the great Joseph Pulitzer, a Jew, would have stayed in St. Louis and made beer had he read this “article.”
As I started reading and scrolling down, I made a bet with myself that either the second to last page or last page would be a paint by numbers screen, but alas. Let’s look at some of this genius writing.
The Bibas Family. “Why are we hearing so much, blah, blah, blah…I dunno, 1 infant and 1 child were held in captivity and no one stated they were dead. Then we find out they were strangled to death you #%*+, and Oh By The Way, they were murdered last November. Furthermore you ^#}{*%{ +*^^, they returned, oops, they returned the wrong body. And by the way this just happened you *^%#}.
So your question to whomever you were writing this “article” to, “But why are we hearing so much about this story now?” Is the National Enquirer still looking for talent? Neo-Nazis are laughing at such a moronic question.
You know, I was going to go through your entire article and really tear into it as honestly, you seem as “naive, as Lois Lane.” I dunno, maybe I’ll do a video on it because every paragraph is more than just the obvious rhetoric and lies, but this will be a litmus test for me and Substack.
Sorry, I can’t help myself. I promise I’m going, just one more.
“In this article (pughlease), I will discuss how it fits a pattern of Israel teaming up with Western Governments and the mainstream media to use atrocity propaganda to justify support for Israeli atrocities.”
My gosh. Alright, Israel main supporters and only military supporters ARE IN THE WEST. Do you understand how much easier it would be for Israel if the had “Western Allies” near them? What pattern you say? Tell me, what’s Israel’s options fighting on 4 fronts. How about this, “I will discuss how it fits a pattern, of Hamas teaming up with Iran and without question most of the media by far to use atrocity propaganda to justify support for Hamas atrocities.
The only decent thing that has come out of Gaza since 2005, is they are now the world leader in digging. Digging tunnels, pools, basements, whatever.
I will leave with this. If you equate the amount of Israelis dead on October 7th, to US population, it would have been around 49,000 killed on that day. Furthermore, we probably wouldn’t be having this discussion because that “Western Country, would have annihilated that whole area.
I’m seeing a lot more documentaries on YouTube about the Nazi Holocaust. I believe that it's intentional to stir up sympathy for the Zionists in “Israel”/ZION.
“Oh, look how they suffered! That gives them a Get Out of Jail Free card!”
Every day every day we hear Western leaders repeat the sickening mantra that Islam is a religion of peace. Whenever an atrocity is commited in the name of Islam, whenever somebody is beheaded in Syria or Iraq, Barrack Obama, David Cameron, my own Dutch prime minister Mr. Rutte and many, many other of their colleagues rush to television cameras to tell the world that it has nothing to do with Islam. How stupid do they think we are? Are we stupid? We are not stupid. Look at the Quran. See that the Quran and Islam mean violence."

Let me be Blunt: This is BS with a capital B. Babies kidnapped and murdered by bare hand. No way could I be manipulated by this horror (Being facetious). Such Baloney. 10 minutes of my life has been ripped from me by this post and my response.
This is good however I think it would be useful to include the provocations throughout 2023, including the clear maneuvering tgat was being done by Ben-Gvir-backed third temple extremists to normalize Jewish desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ben-Gvir's statements that Israel will take it and Jerusalem over; the Israeli police beating worshippers all spring and summer; the May 2023 aerial attack on Gaza, during which an officer told the press *after* having already killed their targets and at least 4x that number of civilians including children that they were going to continue for a few more days and they expected a military response which they hadn't gotten yet and to my understanding did not-at that time. That attack is written up on electronicintifada.net. There's also Ben-Gvir's demonstrated intensification of provocations coupled with his strategy statement: that he would deem anyone responding to the provocations as "disloyal" and then expel them from their own country.
These are all in 2023 except for B-G's strategy statement which iirc was August of 2022. His activities are likely key to the eventual response, as the mosque encroachments were deliberate and also coupled with physical attacks on the structure, suspicion of tunneling under it, and so on. His aims on the mosque are clear; he's associated with the extremist movement. He began making moves in Jan 2023, pretty much immediately upon taking power. Hence as I understand it, the manifesto stated that defending the mosque, which is central to the religion, was a key reason.

the judaic savages are committing worse than that and have also been lying about it, on top of their other sins. As the oldest, most primitive of the Abrahamic sects, they live up to that primitivism in all ways. Their savage talmudic permissions for kid-fucking and other bodily harms to those around them, and generally paying off their thunder-god for what other religions rightly recognize as requiring *moral* effort, are the foundation of the stream of abuses we see issuing from the zionists' rotten souls every single day. The disgusting zionists were identified as pathological in 1891 by their own tribal member, Ahad Ha'am, who advised them in " Truth From Eretz Israel" of the practical consequences of their actions: they could not help themselves and have continued to this day. Have you ever *been* around a Zionist? I have. They're the most immoral fucks one could hope to meet, worse than the soldiery of the Rwandan genocide, or any other atrocity one cares to think of that they don't already have written down in the book of gloating obsession which they call a religious text.
I don't care about this drivel you're spouting. It is talking about a separate problem, which has been caused in large part by the actions of the Israelis over time. The Zionists should be the first group sent to colonize space, starting tomorrow. Then after things have settled down, the rest of the human population can figure out what other behavioral problems need to be addressed.
They did not JUST DIE as hostages in GAZA . They were atrociously MURDERED in the hands of these terrorists who are the personification of pure evil among the humanity
Emotional histrionic 🤷 no truth, pure lies.

Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
The first quote is from Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky. The last paragraph uses the word genocide…again. I guess I’d feel manipulated if it wasn’t all so obvious. Lazy writing.
You sound soulless. Are you so jaded that your cynicism blinds you to atrocity?
If Israels actions do not warrant characterization as genocide, then nothing does, and people can stop using the term to categorize the 'holocaust'.
wrongo bongo, Mr Strebel

So many dead and nobody knows how to stop it. Maybe neither jew nor muslim should be allowed to live there any longer. It seems irrepairable. I simply hope someone smarter than me can fix it.
If Mussie stop killing = peace. Should Jew stop Defending themselves = 3 million 10/7.
That probably means something to somebody, someplace.

What’s your point? You have not provided any answer to the problem either. One could say yours was a supremely stupid comment. We already know that islam is incapable of living in peace with any others unless you submit to allah. They hate the Jews.
Thank you for this. Also very important to point out in this context that the bibas woman and children was murdered by the zionist terrorist bombs https://www.uncaptured.media/p/did-israel-bomb-the-bibas-family?utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&triedRedirect=true
The same zionist terrorist bombs shot by the invading colonizing anti-life zionist neo-nazi supremacists (who believe that the lives of those who a very specific (childish and God-ignorant) religious label placed upon them at birth are superior in value and importance to the rest of humsnity - their terrorist bombs that murder, maim, brutalize and traumatize hundreds of thousands of indigenous children, mothers, fathers and elderly. But of course the indigenous people are inferior sub human from the perspective of the NAZI ZIONIST culture since they didn't have the correct religious label placrd upon them at birth and don't have the sacred "jewish blood" (as zionist supremacists call it) running through their veins.

Exceptional discussion as to how Israel attempts to justify her actions. Comments are all polarized—one sided. Everyone tries to make their chosen side the righteous one. It’s all bullshit trying to prove one side better overall. This is a blood feud. Ancient animosity. Hate going back for generations. Motivated by flawed logic like “Once we get the upper hand, we’ll finally be safe.” Then desperation to take and hold power leads to atrocities. Either side sinks to horrific violence to get the upper hand. And we armchair criticize believing that there’s a civilized way to kill each other and ‘what them others be doing ain’t it.’ Who believes, on close examination, that there’s a civilized way to violate the life of another human being. Sure, defend yourself, but without ever looking at your own part in encouraging others to violence? That’s our collective responsibility. We’ve got a few people with too much power and money who are using our issues to get us to kill each other. That’s a good place to start looking. These issues that make us feel good about hurting, maiming and killing. I’d say that’s closer to the core of the problem. These unresolved issues in us that make us too easily manipulated. Why aren’t we all putting our foot down and insisting that the insanity has gone far enough? Think about it.
