From Beirut, Rania Khalek reports on the chaos as Israel orders hundreds of thousands from the southern suburbs to evacuate, saying, “Israel is trying to empty out huge portions of Lebanon like never before.” As Israel intensifies its war on Iran, Lebanon faces escalating bombings, mass displacement, and the…
Trump’s entire family has avoided military service. The completely unprovoked attack on Iran initiated by the United States and Israel has, after a little more than a week of military action, opened a new depth of geopolitical insanity. As suspected, the attack was all about protecting…
