We speak with journalist Lylla Younes in Beirut as Israel vows to expand its invasion of Lebanon and occupy much of the country. This comes as an Israeli strike targeted a marked press car in southern Lebanon on Saturday, killing Ali Shoeib of Al-Manar TV, reporter Fatima Ftouni of Al Mayadeen TV, and her brother, freelance cameraman Mohamed Ftouni. Israel’s military said it had targeted Shoeib, accusing him of being a Hezbollah intelligence operative, without providing evidence. The World Health Organization says nine paramedics were also killed Saturday in five separate Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, bringing the total number of health workers killed by Israel in March to 51. Such brazen killings are an attempt by Israel “to break the will of a people in a moment of deep vulnerability,” says Younes.

    attacking journalists and medics is terrorism, and its overwhelmingly supported by the Israeli public. The world must sanction and blockade israel. Israeli citizens should not be given visas to travel anywhere.

    This is my proposal to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.

      Heres my proposal. Turkey will be given Israel, the west bank and gaza and form a new ottoman empire. Same as ruled the area peacefully for 800 years until their empire fell. They will force the zionist terrorists and palestinians live in peace like they did for all that time, and the UN will acknowledge that zionists will never again be allowed to run a state anywhere in the world. Land stolen from the Palestinian people will be returned to them.
