Channel 14 (Israel): U.S. envoy to the middle east Morgan Ortagus suggested that Israel strike the Beirut Sports City Stadium during the funeral of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Striking the Sports City Stadium during a funeral that drew hundreds of thousands of mourners would have produced an unimaginable humanitarian disaster, wiping out entire families in seconds.
A proposal of this nature is not an anomaly; it reflects a broader pattern rooted in the ethics of U.S. warfare.
From Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq, Washington has repeatedly employed strategies that resulted in mass civilian casualties, often justified under the guise of military necessity.
Today, the United States stands not only as a partner but as a key decision-maker in the Genocide on Gaza, where entire neighborhoods have been erased and civilian life treated as collateral. Ortagus’s suggestion fits squarely within this historical continuum, an approach to conflict in which the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians are viewed as an acceptable consequence of geopolitical objectives.
