  1. Why include the part about Israel? The Lebanese government said what happened. If anyone’s to blame for this, blame the Lebanese government for allowing two highly explosive products to be stored that close to each other.

  2. Muchas tragedias hay hoy día en el mundo.
    Ya es tiempo de que decididamente tomemos en serio a Dios y le hagamos caso.
    Amemonos los unos a los otros tal como Dios nos Ama, mandamiento único y nuevo dado por Jesús para toda la humanidad y así trascenderemos tanto dolor y sufrimiento que nos embarga, producto de hacer las cosas mal, sin Amor ni sabiduría.
    Tenemos todo por ganar, por el bien de los niños, los jóvenes y los adultos.

    1. But that stuff destination was Mozambique 🇲🇿. And as the crew run out of money, they couldn’t afford the port fees and the ammonium nitrate was stored in the port. What a smart authorities!

  6. Israel had nothing to do with the explosion. The Mayor said it himself that it was just an accident that happened with chemical’s. If it was an actual nuke from Israel then the explosion would’ve been worse.
