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.”

BT’s Rania Khalek breaks down the “surrender deal” framework agreement signed by Lebanon’s ambassador in Washington on June 26, and the level of capitulation is shocking – complete with benchmarks set by the United States, reviewed by the United States, and enforced by a Lebanese army being quietly converted into an extension of Israeli and US military will. 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.
