Germany uses the excuse of the ’ceasefire’ which Israel routinely violates to sell weapons to Israel again. Israel is being rewarded for committing genocide by the country that pretends to have learned from the holocaust.

Israel just struck Beirut’s southern suburbs for the first time in months and first time since last year’s war without a warning.
Reports saying it was an airstrike in Haret Hreik. Though such attacks usually are struck by drone
