      Ben Norton Retweeted U.S. Embassy Beirut

      In case it wasn't already glaringly obvious before, the US is trying to carry out a "color revolution" in Lebanon to remove Hezbollah from the government This has been Washington's goal for a long time. Now they're exploiting the chaos to push regime change It's not even subtlehttps://twitter.com/usembassybeirut/status/1292159182322446336 …

      1/2 The Lebanese people have suffered too much and deserve to have leaders who listen to them and change course to respond to popular demands for transparency and accountability.

      Ben Norton Retweeted

      So-called Western "aid" for Lebanon is going to be predicated on removing Hezbollah from the government (even though it was democratically elected) and disarming the Lebanese resistance to US imperialism / Israeli colonialism https://twitter.com/AJCGlobal/status/1292512343486869509?s=19 …

      Pro-Israel lobby group AJC deleted their tweet yesterday emphasizing that Western "aid" for Lebanon must be conditioned on disarming Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance movement that expelled the apartheid Israel colonialist occupiers.

          Haaaa! Gawd Benji, you can't even interpret a tweet properly - ACJ pushing their own agenda and you're saying that Western (which is actually international) Aid has conditions against Hezbollah? I'd be surprised if you can correctly summarize the political landscape today
