Israel just released footage of last night's attack on Lebanon where they demolished an entire town. (Photo of bombed apartment buildings that have been destroyed).

Israel got away with genocide, feels emboldened & openly brags about its war crimes. They’re stealing southern Lebanon right now & no one is stopping them. Who gives Israel weapons, planes, money? Who turns away from what’s happening but still pays for it through arms sales & political propaganda?
