Israel has stated it does not plan to leave Lebanon even if the current ‘war' ends. Israel appears to be moving toward expanding its border into Lebanon.

While the US-Israeli war on Iran and its economic repercussions on the global economy continues to be at the center of global media attention, Israel is in the process of re-drawing the map of the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon.

Eretz Yisrael is  a sacred geography that has animated prayer for millennia.

American presidents are not required to pass mental health exams or psychological and psychiatric evaluations before taking office in the United States.

In the recent past  the U.S. that has been called a rogue state because of its military intervention in different parts of the world; using force to quell opposition and expel illegal immigrants by deploying the National Guard. Threats under the Trump administration towards Greenland, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba,  Panama and Iran, and its recent act of regime change in Venezuela.

The United States has a track record of periodic attacks and occupations of states under the pretext of regime change.
