Mark Zuckerberg - a Zionist Jewish extremist who supports massacring babies in Gaza - wants to let you know if you might have "extremist" friends and how you can rat them out to the government.

This is absolutely surreal. Dystopian nightmare.

It's quite amazing how Hezbullah's military wing is the least media-friendly of all armies and non-state actors in MENA.

No shows (like HAMAS does), no weapon expos (like IRGC or Ansarullah does), no documentaries about leaders, nothing.

It's a good thing, but come on... share some content. (Talking about peace time. Not during battle when military media posts videos of operations.)

💸 David Hale, former US Under Secretary of State in charge of the Lebanese file, said that nothing points out that central bank governor Riad Salameh is implicated with corruption!

CNBC: "Should the Americans still be meeting with him? Do you believe he was part of the problem in terms of that Ponzi scheme?"

Hale: "I wouldn't blame anyone, I have not seen any evidence [about Riad Salameh]"

Israeli PM Naftali Bennett, on the 2006 war:

"This was the last time the IDF conducted a large-scale ground invasion. As a commander of an infantry reserve force, and from the depth of the field, I saw what a military campaign looks like when preparations for it are insufficient, when the goals are vague."
Shortage of fuel:

Electricity of Lebanon announces that it is in the process of suspending the Deir Ammar and Al-Zahrani powerplants sequentially and reducing production capacity due to a severe shortage of fuel.

IDF: Deputy Lieutenant Shili Westland (22), a cadet in an officers' course, collapsed in the middle of the week at a base in the 1st Infantry Division.

The reason for her death: a medical incident that is under confidentiality, according to the IDF.
Two IDF settlers died this week:
Shili Westland
Sharon Asman

None are native to the Middle-East, as their families root in the West:

Westland: Scottish: habitational name from a place so called. ‘Westlandis, called the Leyes of Tullochaddie’ were granted to the Marquis of Huntly in 1638.

Asman: Americanized form of German As(s)mann, a much altered derivative (pet form) of the personal name Erasmus, which was popular among humanists in the Netherlands, Denmark, and northern Germany during the 16th century.
