“Israel just turned thousands of Lebanese people into involuntary suicide bombers in the name of fighting terrorism. At least nine people have been killed and thousands injured in an attack in Lebanon which reportedly involved pagers packed with explosives being remotely detonated around the country, often in civilian areas. An eight year-old girl is reportedly among the dead. According to The New York Times, unnamed officials from the US and elsewhere are saying that Israel planted the explosive materials in the pagers before they reached Lebanon after Hezbollah ordered them from a Taiwanese manufacturer. The US is denying any foreknowledge of the attack, but that’s what they always do.” (09/18/24)
