Israel dropped clusters of leaflets across Beirut.
One called on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
The other resembled a newspaper front-page called "The New Reality" which they said has reached Beirut after "great success" in Gaza.

Jimmy Carter was the first US president to make human rights a central part of foreign policy, and that was because he listened to Patricia Derian, who pretty much invented US human rights policy.
If he had done nothing else in his life this would still be reason to admire him.
