It is unusual to see Israel not getting the blame for everything that goes wrong with Palestinians. Despite Palestinian jihad violence against Israel and now the outbreak of severe violence among Palestinians themselves in Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp, it is routine to see Israel blamed. For instance, Popular Nasserist Organization movement leader Osama Saad warned of “suspicious projects targeting the camp,” stating “the Israeli enemy is waiting for us, and has an interest in detonating the situation.” And Ihsan Ataya, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader in Lebanon, “accused Israel of involvement in the clashes in Ain al-Hilweh,” as well as in America.
The reason why Israel does not get the blame in the story below is because the condemnation of Hizballah comes from Samy Gemayel, “leader of the right-wing Christian Kataeb Party,” who has likened Hizballah to the “devil.” The truth is that Hizballah has been altogether ruinous to Lebanon. See these articles: How Hezbollah destroyed everything that made Lebanon great and How Hezbollah destroyed Lebanon with backing of Iran.
In response to the deadly clashes, Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, asked a pertinent question: “Where is the international outcry“?
Unbelievable‼️
Over the past days, Palestinian terror groups have been battling with one another in the Palestinian refugee camp Ein el-Hilweh in south Lebanon.The tragic results:

Unless the mainstream media can effectively pin blame on Israel, it will collectively avoid accurately and thoroughly covering events that present the truth about Hizballah, and Palestinian jihadists.
“Lebanese opposition politician blames Hezbollah for deadly Palestinian clashes,” by Gianluca Pacchiani, Times of Israel, July 31, 2023:
The head of a Lebanese opposition party blames the ongoing clashes in a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon on Hezbollah’s control over the country.
“The problem today is that nobody has the authority to ensure security in the camps, we are a country left to itself, without leadership. We are a country of people who only think of emigration. We have [security] problems from the southern border [with Israel] to the northern border with Syria. And that is because of Hezbollah,” says Samy Gemayel, leader of the right-wing Christian Kataeb Party, also known as the Phalanges.
An armed confrontation broke out three days ago inside the Ain al-Helweh camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, between members of Fatah, the secular party ruling the Palestinian Authority, and Islamist factions. The clashes have so far caused the death of 11 people and forced more than 2,000 to flee the violence, according to the UN.
“Hezbollah wants to leave Lebanon defenseless and vulnerable to any sort of conflict. It is keeping Lebanon hostage, and it is willing to deprive the country of its economy, its institutions, its army, its weapons. Hezbollah is responsible for every problem affecting Lebanon,” he adds…..
