Rania Khalek: Lebanon’s Gov’t Just Declared War On Its Own People

“The people who signed this deal, the Lebanese people who signed this deal are not sovereign statesmen protecting their country. They are incompetent collaborators who sold out their population to Washington and Tel Aviv and they're calling it a win.”

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians in the south are being used as bargaining chips, as Lebanon signs away its right to prosecute Israel for the entire catalog of war crimes committed against its people. Plus Rashida Tlaib's War Powers Resolution and Thomas Massie's move to cut the $3.3 billion in US military financing to Israel.
