Barrack reiterated US threats that Israel will ‘take care’ of Hezbollah if Lebanon fails to disarm the resistance group

“It’s a good organization, it’s well-meaning, but it’s not well-equipped,” Barrack told The National in an interview. “Because who are they going to fight? We’re gonna arm them so they can fight Israel? I don’t think so. So, you’re arming them so they can fight their own people. Hezbollah.”

    So refreshing to hear the American regime being honest, that vassal state militaries are only allowed to fight America’s enemies or oppress their own populations.

    What this really means is that the next Israeli genocide will be against the people of south Lebanon, and the Trump junta will support it.

    The Israelis are still pissed off that, when Ariel Sharon sent the IDF into south Lebanoon, they got their asses handed to them and were forced to withdraw, because Hizbollah had massive popular support. Since then, Natanyahu has had Nasrallah murdered, but Hizbollah is still there and still supported by its community.
