The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The number of civilians ordered to evacuate by the Israelis is now close to 1M, out of a population apparently slightly under 6M, as the Israeli war machine works it's way north.

It doesn't have the color of official government policy, but a post, in Hebrew, on X, from retired general Uzi Dayan, translated to English, apparently reads:

“We need to act fast and with full force. Occupy the territory, expel everyone who is located there, destroy everything there, and turn it into a death zone — which means no one moves around there.”

Sounds like another ethnic cleansing, land grab, operation, in a country that is about 1/3 Christian, so it isn't just the Islamic boogyman they want to exterminate.

This follows comments by the Israeli Finance Minister, which *do* have the color of official policy, to make Beirut look like Khan Younis, a city in Gaza, that the IDF reduced to rubble.

So the Israelis terrorize 6M Lebanese into leaving, and where to those refugees go?
