I said they would try and blame it on Israel, not that Israel caused the explosion. Kinda like they blame everything on trump.

Oh I agree. I was just noting Israel would be more thorough IF they wanted to take out Beirut.

“No. Long over.”

Wasn’t sure, looked like a typical Ramadan celebration in that part of the world.

Thanks for tip on Saad Hariri.

That reinforces the Hezbollah likelihood as the perps.

That was my first thought. But then I asked myself who would put a fireworks factory in a busy port. So, I figured, what else makes small pops.

Then I read it was a fireworks factory in the middle of a busy port.

I am coming to love moderate zoning laws. Ha Ha.

Yeah, because everyone knows that the Lebanese and Muslims in general, are big on fireworks celebrations...
