PULVERISING Gaza, emptying the Strip of its people, bombing the West Bank, and expanding illegal annexations of land there — none of that is enough for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his genocidal drive to build “Greater Israel.” Lebanon, too, it seems, must be parcelled up and pieces of it brought under Tel Aviv’s control.
