And now #Biden / #Harris are caught between a rock (pro #Palestine / #Lebanon voters refusing to vote) and a hard place (pro-Israel voters who would regard disarmament of #Israel as an act of #antisemitism and refuse to vote).

#Trump and #Netanyahu are the true enemies of both groups, but they don't seem to realize it. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

At #UNGA, overwhelming anger at #Israel

At the #UnitedNations, world leaders cast Israel’s heavy-handed campaigns in #Gaza & the inability of the #UN system to rein it as a danger to the institution itself.

Israeli PM Benjamin #Netanyahu will speak Friday at the UN General Assembly, in NYC.

Is #history repeating itself in #Lebanon?

β€œThe Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 had its roots in the Palestinian–Israeli conflict, much as the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel does today.”

And at that time, the Israeli ground invasion resulted only in catastrophic results for all concerned – and set the stage for the founding and growth of Hezbollah, according to a professor of Middle East Studies.

"One needs no sympathy for Hezbollah to know that the exploding pager attacks in Lebanon and Syria was destined to tear through civilian spaces and kill or wound many innocents...

Israelis should be – first of all – morally repulsed. Then they should at least be asking themselves: what has this accomplished, and what will be the costs"

Dahlia Scheindlin in Haaretz today.

How #Israel Built a Modern-Day #Trojan Horse: #Exploding #Pagers

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive #PETN, according to the three #intelligence officers.

First legal view I’ve seen on the pager attacks:

β€œMary Ellen O’Connell, a professor of law and international peace studies at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, said booby-traps are banned under international law. β€œWeaponizing an object used by civilians is strictly prohibited,” she said.”

Right-Wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the decision to launch a large-scale military operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The Prime Minister recorded a 10-second video in which he says one sentence:

"I promised to bring the people of the north home, and that is exactly what we are doing".

Hand-held radios used by Lebanese armed group #Hezbollah detonated on Wednesday across Lebanon's south, in #Beirut suburbs and the Bekaa Valley, further stoking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions by the group's pagers. #Lebanon's health ministry said 14 people had been killed and 450 injured on Wednesday, while the death toll from Tuesday's #explosions rose to 12, including two children, with nearly 3,000 injured. FRANCE 24's Emerald Maxwell reports.

A person at the building said BAC Consulting was registered there but did not have a physical presence. The CEO of BAC Consulting, Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono says on her Linkedin profile that she has worked as an adviser for various orgs including UNESCO.

BAC's registered activities are wide ranging, from computer game publishing to IT consulting to crude oil extraction.

"The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it," Hsu told reporters at the company's offices in New Taipei, #Taiwan on Wednesday.

The stated address for BAC Consulting in #Hungary's capital #Budapest was a peach building on a mostly residential street in an outer suburb. The company name was posted on the glass door on an A4 sheet.

The source said about 3,000 of the pagers exploded when a coded message was sent to them, simultaneously activating the explosives.

Another #security source told Reuters that up to 3 grams of explosives were hidden in the new #pagers & had gone "undetected" by #Hezbollah for months.
