BREAKING: Israel is heavily bombing South Lebanon right now, dropping white phosphorus bombs on residential homes.

This is the 10th day in a row that Israel drops white phosphorus on civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon.

And not a peep from the “free and civilized” Western world.

The US dropped 270 million cluster bombs on Laos.

"Every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years from 1964 until 1973, a planeload of cluster bombs was dropped on Laos by American B-52s."

50 years later, civilians (and children) are still being blown up by the bombs. "Laos is the most heavily-bombed country per-capita in the history of the world.

The U.S. was never at war with the people of Laos, and the American people were largely oblivious to the bombing campaign in the country at the time."

France forces 14 African countries to pay a colonial tax worth $500 billion each year.

Putin, on the other hand, wrote off the debts of several African nations worth more than $20 billion.

Yet Macron has the audacity to call Russia "the sole colonial power of the 21st century". Former French President Jacques Chirac said: "Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third [world] power."

Chirac's predecessor François Mitterand said in 1957 that: "Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century." linkedin.com/pulse/14-afric…
