#BREAKING In first official comments from Saudi Arabia on the subject since the agreement btw #Israel and UAE, its Foreign Minister says #Israel undermines peace efforts with its unilateral actions

[Zambeezi]

Cui Bono? (the single question NOT answered by kangaroo court.)

Lebanon paid 800 million dollars for this

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon believe that "Syria and Hezbollah may have had motives to eliminate" former prime minister Rafic Hariri, but did not find evidence to link Hezbollah or Syrian leadership to the 2005 assassination.

— H.K (@Ibra_Joudeh) August 18, 2020

 

CONCLUSION: The UN-backed Hariri tribunal was a complete waste of everyones time.

The real questions that should have been asked:

- Who benefitted the most from the #RaficHariri killing?

- Why isn't Israel or Saudi the chief suspects?#Lebanon #Hariri pic.twitter.com/dxmBsmm6tJ

Hariri had good relations with Hezbollah and defended its legitimate right to defend Lebanon from Israel when the Lebanese Army cannot do so.
So why would Hezbollah assassinate a semi-ally that restored the group’s hopes of maintaining legitimacy and military power in Lebanon? pic.twitter.com/DG2YiCRrDC

— هادي نصرالله (@HadiNasrallah) August 18, 2020

 

Israel killed Rafiq Hariri in 2005. Here’s why:

- Hariri legitimized Hezbollah’s anti-Israel resistance

- to frame Syria and Hezbollah thus stripping them from Sunni and national support in Lebanon

- to force Syria out of Lebanon

-to isolate and attack Hezbollah later in 2006 https://t.co/xa8rJ4a15W

On this anniversary of the assassination of former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri on 14 February 2005, dare we raise again the question that so many have asked for 14 years: Can a truck bomb really have created such a huge crater? Or was this an underground explosion? A mini-nuke?

I read Lukashenko is moving assets to western borders. It is clear the Lithuanians are deeply involved in criminally destabilizing the lawful government of Belarus, probably also supplying the Hitlerite collaborationist red and white flag. This criminal subversion is an act of war. Lukashenko. Would be within his rights to smash the Lithuanians and take Vilnius in a several hours. Let’s see if NATO bigmouths want to really get involved for these empty suit worthless Balts. Putin was caught flat footed in Ukraine and can not let same happen in Belarus.
