‘To avoid destabilizing the region’

Yeah buddy I got news for you…

Didn't report what the Lebanese PM said today because I didn't bother read it.

He is a nobody that isn't worth the dirt on a shoe used to walk inside sewage

🇺🇸 JD Vance says the goal is getting Iran to commit to not build a nuclear weapon.

It already made that commitment in 2015 under the JCPOA—a deal Trump tore up.

Now this admin has dragged the country into a pointless war to recover ground it gave away—and American families are paying the price.

~40,000 housing units destroyed or heavily damaged in just 35 days — ≈16% of total war damage since Oct 2023.
Most affected: Southern Beirut Suburbs, Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, Sour.
CNRS-L/NCNE continues evidence-based monitoring.

Trump is insulting the Pope

A low even lower than this Jewish slave can be

📢 🇺🇸 🇻🇦 Trump lashes out at the Pope tonight, calling him "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Me and my friends be like:

— I’m not a Christian. Nor am I particularly fond of Pope Leo XIV. In fact, quite the opposite.

But, whether you like it or not, the Pope represents the religion of 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.

And, in a general sense, the Pope as an institution has always been an advocate for peace around the world, whether we agree with their specific statements or not (as Muslims we certainly have our reservations)

Pope Francis for example did a lot for Gaza, he spoke out openly against Israel many times, and he was overall a mostly respectable man.

Anyway, Trump needs to put some respect on Pope Leo’s name. Catholics can’t keep allowing him to use their religion only when it benefits him, then thrashing the Pope on a random Monday evening during an ego trip.

Today (April 12), Hezbollah published a total of 60 statements regarding recent operations targeting Israel and the IDF in Israel and southern Lebanon, up from 46 on April 11.

This brings their total stated operations since the beginning of the war to 1,711, with an average of 40.74 per day since March 2.

Note: Hezbollah only announces a small fraction of the total operations carried out against the IDF, and often combines multiple attacks into one statement. This graph only counts total Hezbollah statements.

📢 🇺🇸 🇻🇦 Trump on Pope Leo XIV: "I don't think he's doing a very good job. He likes crime, I guess... I'm not a big fan of Pope Leo. He's a very liberal person — and he's a man that doesn't believe in stopping crime."

📢 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm very disappointed in NATO. They weren't there for us. We pay trillions of dollars for NATO and they weren't there for us... I think that's going to be under very serious examination."

📎 Rapid Response 47

More than 10 Hezbullah drones launched from Lebanon at northern Israel and at troops in southern Lebanon since this morning.

Rocket fire was also fired at Israeli settlements.

For the second day in a row, 8 Israeli soldiers were injured when a Hezbullah suicide drone or FPV successfully impacted their gathering in south Lebanon

Situation in south Lebanon's Bint Jbeil continues to deteriorate, with many besieged defenders martyred following an Israeli bombardment and a commitment of several divisions and majority of elite units including Maglan, Egoz and others.

The football field where Sayyed Hassan gave his 2006 speech in it is still living rent free in their heads and dedicated a statement about it

May God bring peace to all the families of the martyrs and may God bestow patience for the rest

May God avenge their blood

Aoun is not the president of Lebanon. He is the president of Lebanese Christians only.

He is the president of Eastern Beirut, Keserwan, and only other Christian areas. As simple as that

The cunt son of a whore, when 2,000+ Lebanese were killed from Beirut and south Lebanon thought it is a priority to host the family of the Christian Lebanese Forces Party who was killed in a wrong Israeli airstrike in Ain Saadeh

Everyone else doesn't matter.

The Lebanese Army commander goes to the border to give condolences to the father of the church there killed by Israel.

On the other hand not a single official comes when Israel killed 13 Shia members of the Lebanese State security personnel.

Damn you and damn your Lebanon

The presidency issued the below:

President Joseph Aoun, accompanied by the First Lady, receives a delegation from the families of the martyrs of the Ain Saadeh strike:

The relevant security and judicial authorities are continuing their investigations to clarify the circumstances of this attack and take appropriate measures, and the state is exerting all efforts to stop the war and put an end to bloodshed.
