Why would Israel need to kill a turtle sanctuary ecologist?
There are moments in Israel’s disproportional violence that you flinch and turn away at the ugliness.
I’ve seen the IDF do some terrible, hateful crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran.
Their war crimes are so extreme they breach the technical thresholds of genocide.
The cruelty they have employed is beyond any sense of justification.
Israel’s violence is designed to leave a psychological wound but sometimes their actions can still burn nerve endings you believed were dead.
I don’t know why, but the bombing and killing of Turtle Activist Mona Khalil just seems so evil…
Israeli attack kills famed turtle sanctuary ecologist in Lebanon
The Lebanese marine activist Mona Khalil, who became a beloved figure in the country for a decades-long effort to protect a nesting site for turtles near her home, has died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike.
Khalil, 76, ran a sanctuary called the Orange House Project near the Mediterranean city of Tyre. She hosted volunteers in her house to clean and monitor a mile-long beach and welcomed tourists to stay and learn about conservation.
An Israeli airstrike hit her house earlier this month, severely wounding Khalil, who was moved to an intensive-care unit in Beirut before succumbing to her injuries on Friday, according to friends. Her assistant, an Ethiopian woman, suffered burns but was recovering.

…what possible military threat did a turtle activist pose to Israel?
If a Turtle Activist is a threat to you that demands death, then maybe you are the problem?
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the zionist mind. The zionist never intends to kill heroic freedom fighters, the kind of heroes who corrupt zionist politicians like Winston Peters call ‘terrorists’. No, they are targeting innocents- children, obviously, are the most attractive targets to the zionist mind, but anyone innocent will do. To the extent that soldiers of Hamas or Hezbollah die too, it is only because they are protecting the innocent from zionist monsters.
Just as frightening is Australias richest person ( and possibly one of the larger ones) asking for free land in Australia for the Israelis to come and settle and build drones. What is wrong with these people? F off Pauline Hanson.

“Lebanese journalist and analyst Marwa Osman writes:
They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon’s southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life’s work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon’s coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.” ……
“The Zionists want to strip this planet of all the goodness, the kindness and humanity, they suck the world dry of life wherever they exist. They are the plague of this age.”
Here in AO-NZ we see this dynamic of corruption, sleaze and evil play out in incidents like this ….. https://thedailyblog.co.nz/police-pay-10000-in-compensation-to-psna-campaign-co-ordinator-john-minto/ ,,, caught on camera, who cares ,,, the police back violence, lies and perjury.
