An underestimated aspect of the Israeli attack on Lebanon is that there are a *ton* of Lebanese Americans who care a lot about Lebanon very specifically and the US abetting of attacks on it could depress Democratic turnout in places like Michigan even on top of the Gaza genocide

"The targeted raids are the latest indication that Israel is laying the groundwork for a significant ground incursion into Lebanon, although the Israeli government does not yet appear to have made a final decision about launching such an offensive."
