AHRC Condemns Israeli Massacre against Civilians in South Lebanon:

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) condemns the latest Israeli massacre in the district of Nabatieh, South Lebanon that killed innocent civilians on February 14, 2024. This attack murdered all members of the Berjawi family including two young children, among other casualties.

According to media reports, total of ten civilians were killed making it the deadliest Israeli attack within the past four month of cross-border fight. This target was not a military target. This is another example of Israel acting with impunity.

South Lebanon has been a battlefield, mostly within the rules of engagement since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war against the occupied Palestinians against Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has been violating the rules of engagement. Israel in fact has been bombing not only Gaza but Lebanon and Syria as well.

Observers affirm that a ceasefire in Gaza is a ceasefire everywhere. The US should be demanding a ceasefire. The US policy is to keep Israel on a long leash while trying to limit the repercussions of the genocide in Gaza. This is becoming harder every day.

“We urge a ceasefire, this is standard when there is a conflict,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “Every day that passes without a ceasefire in place is a day with avoidable deaths and destruction,” added Hamad. "There is one word to describe Biden's Middle East policy: Unconscionable," concluded Hamad.
