Berri urges int'l community to 'stop Israeli killing machine'
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Thursday described Israel’s deadly drone strike on a building in Nabatiyeh as “a new massacre” that Israel has added to “its record that is full of murder, terrorism and genocidal wars.”
Lamenting a “premeditated massacre,” Berri called on the international envoys who are visiting Lebanon, the United Nations and human rights organizations to address “the bloodshed in Nabatiyeh, Houla, Sawwaneh and Adshit.”
“Don’t condemn and deplore but rather act instantly to stop the Israeli killing machine and rein in the leaders of the occupation entity who are taking the region to a destructive war,” the Speaker added.
Seven civilians and three Hezbollah fighters including a commander were killed in the overnight strike in Nabatiyeh. The raid resulted in the highest civilian death toll in a single strike in Lebanon since cross-border hostilities began in October, raising fears of a broader conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. A woman and two children were killed in a strike the same day on the southern town of Sawwaneh.
The cross-border violence has killed at least 257 people on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also including 38 civilians.

A responsible and competent head of parliament, prime minister, and interior minister would promptly visit the location where blood has been shed, demonstrating a commitment to addressing the concerns of the affected community. Regrettably, our current leaders consistently fail to meet this expectation, underscoring their lack of legitimacy, moral integrity, and disregard for the well-being of the citizens they are meant to serve. This recurrent failure to empathize and take meaningful action raises again and again serious questions about the effectiveness and credibility of those in positions of authority.

Just like when it was he that was responsible for allowing the Islamic Duo to again and again keep us from having a president, so too is it he that is responsible for allowing the Islamic Duo to get away both with having not performed 1701, as we all agreed to do, and Hezbollah's initiating aggression on Lebanon's enemy to the South.
And so now he wants to play the weakling so unable to help himself or the country than it can only be Western Democracies that can make Lebanon safer?
No one believes .. no one is coming to save us .. no one will weep for the dead, afterward for each will have been gloriously victorious in being martyred for the advancement of the Ayatollah's power over us.

Ask Berri why the international community has to care about what happens in Lebanon. Under his leadership in the parliament the country was transformed into a shell of a government with all crooked politicians and thieves while being totally controlled by Hezbollah.
Berri and Nasrallah have drafted the Lebanese to die for the Iranian bloody sectarian expansionism. Nabih ya Nabih, you are responsible for the suicide of Lebanon.
