Environmental Catastrophe in Lebanon

The vicious attack by Israel has made it impossible to live in many places in the country.

"The environmental issues started with the five-week attack on thousands of Lebanese homes and buildings. The fires from the attacks caused large clouds of smoke that experts reported containing contamination with the potential to create hormonal and respiratory problems in humans.
The mid-July Mediterranean oil spill has been burning since. The oil gradually is spreading north to Syria and Turkey as well."


The oil spill is a direct result from Israel bombing Lebanon's oil depots and power plants.
But the most despicable crime was the use of depleted uranium munitions, the de facto zionist nuclear warfare. Not counting Nagasaki and Hiroshima, this marks the fifth nuclear war the fascists have waged, starting with Gulf War 1, contaminating yet more of the world's surface and dooming countless generations to genetic mutation, deformity and sickness.
Depleted uranium has a half life of 4.5 billion years.

Meanwhile, according to the Daily Star, Israel has begun to create a no-mans land by cutting down orchards and intimidating farmers to leave the border area of Lebanon. After dropping a million cluster bombs on the Lebanese, 90% of which were fired in the 72 hours before an expected cease fire, I can understand why the Lebanese would want to leave anyway.
