[00:00:00]This is not a sign of strength. This is a sign of weakness by Israel. Israel is cornered and it's just it has no other idea of what to do other than to to lash out and unleash its wrath upon anyone it can find. But this is a response to the fact that like they are desperate. I mean why are they really in Lebanon?

[00:00:17]They want to destroy the resistance. And they find there just like in Gaza they they comm committed this genocide in Gaza for 2 and a half years and massacred enormous numbers of people blew up hospitals and schools and filled mass graves with you know innocent civilian bodies and they did all of this but the one thing they couldn't do was disarm the resistance.

You see these people then, you know, double down on their support for the resistance because they understand we need to get these genocidal settlers out of this place. We cannot we cannot tolerate this state anymore. And Iran and and all of the resistance has opened up now a door where people can see a future in the coming years where there's no more Israel in the Middle East. I mean, that that is a is a future that we all kind of dreamed of, but never thought it would be a a reality that we'd live to see. And now we're watching it collapse in real
