The United Nations at the time noted that the attacks “constitute war crimes of murder, attacking civilians, and launching indiscriminate attacks, in addition to violating the right to life” adding that, “Around 500 people suffered severe eye injuries, including a diplomat. Others suffered grave injuries to their faces, hands and bodies” and that “It is also a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians, including to intimidate or deter them from supporting an adversary, A climate of fear now pervades everyday life in Lebanon”.

At the time, when asked about the attacks, former CIA director Leon Panetta said, “I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism”.

Now, a new book quietly reveals that Israel carried out the terrorist attack with the help of the AI surveillance firm Palantir, led by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel.

    Why is every fraction of this conflict a piece of shit? btw for 1 year I thought this attack was in Gaza and targeted to Hamas. Hezbollah is fascist and terrorist organisation, but this attack endangered random citizens(there are many citizens of Lebanon that are not fascist).

      Because colonial terror doesn’t exactly inspire peaceful and productive governance.

      Hezbollah is fascist and terrorist organisation

      [Citation needed]. Not that I’m a fan of Hezbollah, don’t get me wrong, but both these words have meanings and I don’t see how Hezbollah satisfies either one. BTW you double posted.
