„This adds to the controversy surrounding an ongoing series of reports from Haaretz in which Israeli soldiers report that the primary thing they’re actually doing inside Lebanon is #looting and destroying Lebanese villages.“

Israeli Soldiers Detail Ongoing Looting in Southern Lebanon

With the "ceasefire" in Lebanon that Israel continues to violate, having been extended another 45 days last week, Israeli commanders are finding themselves increasingly unclear about why exactly they’re still in Lebanon, whether the ceasefire is meant to be complied with or designed to fail, and indeed what purpose the…

Another good article from Paul Krugman.

"The #Looting of America"

"Think of it this way: The gravity of what the #Trumpists have already done has created a sort of black hole at the center of American political life — and the Trumpists have already crossed the event horizon, the boundary beyond which there is no escape. So they will do ever more terrible things, because they have nothing more to lose"

Israeli Channel 14: Israeli Chief of Staff's message sparks controversy after army commanders refuse to sign a pledge against looting in Lebanon

## THE MOST MORAL ARMY IN THE WORLD!

#Lebanon #WarOnLebanon #LOOTING #IDF #WarCrime #Israel

Wow! Look at those "judeo-christian" values. And guess what. Rather than progress to some level of morality - the IDF and Israel are still where they are centuries ago. Where theft from "the other" is a normal thing. A "deserved" thing. As if the people were somehow directly "involved" in past grievances.

No. Let's just say that this has always happened. Perhaps in underhanded ways. Perhaps in direct ways. But it always happened. And now - the state is there to back them up. They have no fear.

They can attack first and claim this was a "defensive move" a pre-attack of the attack.. as if there was such a thing. This is like me attacking a person because they looked at me the "wrong" way. And then when it's done..I keep punching them anyway.

When will the world stop this madness. They won't .. because this is colonialism. And all the world is involved and supports it, especially Labour.

“Soldiers of the Israeli occupation forces have been stealing everything they can lay their hands on in abandoned civilian homes in southern Lebanon. The looting has been systemic, with genocidal Israeli troops stealing ‘motorcycles, televisions, paintings, sofas and rugs on a wide scale, which has become routine’”

Motorcycles, TVs, couches, gold: Israeli army is looting everything it can in southern Lebanon

The founding ethos of the Israeli state remains alive and well among its current population and continues to spread into new areas that its soldiers set foot in.
