One of the most diverse countries in the world and still very little attention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Lebanon

No more offensive weapons Let them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc. I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more. It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they want Israel has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent people They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc

The West at large continuing to be complicit in Israel's aggression and genocide is a source of great shame to me. Unlike many other atrocities of the past 75 years, this could not have been done without our help.

Daily reminder that "championing human rights in the middle east" is the easiest thing in the world if you get to determine who is considered "human" and who is considered "cattle".

Stop Israel's aggression and genocide.

Took so long to get flagged? I'm surprised... If the US–Iran front of the war is relevant for hn I don't see why the Israel–Lebanon one wouldn't.

As usual anything Israel gets flagged. From tech perspective, technology builders now need to be extra aware how it’s used. Is releasing the next autonomous algo/library worth it?, if the US department of war with their friends can use that tech to kill more people. Especially when more and more weapons become autonomous. Targets are chosen based on LLM hallucinations. In 2026, we are the baddies. More than tech we need to vote to reign in the Department of War spending. It will be the death of American Empire. The white cells meant to protect, have become cancerous.

Molotov cocktail thrown at Altman's gate? Top post and even dang gets involved to condemn violence as totally evil. Bombings? [flagged]

It's terrorism

As a Lebanese, this is deeply saddening. Israel is trying to exact some sort of "lesson" on the Lebanese. I don't want to blame everything on Israel, but the fact that Lebanon is a weak country unable to rein in Hezbollah is very strongly influenced by the US need to make Israel a hegemon in the region. And the vicious cycle continues ... As a Lebanese I feel helpless. And this type of situation only emboldens the "resistance" which in turns justifies Israels actions in Lebanon. It's never ending and we're done with it ...

Lebanon a terrorist nation that yet again not responsible for the terrorists.
