Southern #Lebanon is actually northern #Israel - opinion
Source: m.jpost.com/opinion/article-82…
Indeed, back in biblical times, southern Lebanon was clearly part of the Land of Israel. In the Book of Genesis (10:19) it says, “and the borders of #Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as #Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Tsevoyim as far as Lasha.” Sidon, a city in Lebanon, is about halfway between the current Israeli border and #Beirut.
On that basis, the whole of America and Australia would have to be returned to the indigenous peoples, and their claims don't even date back to antiquity.

“Put Them in #Trauma”: Inside a #Key #MAGA #Leader’s #Plans to use #violence to #enforce Trump's #Agenda
Other policies mentioned by Vought dovetail with Trump’s plans, such as embracing a #wartime #footing on the southern #border and rolling back #TransRights.
