The panic now- if only you could see the fear, the panic, the traffic, the ambulances, the planes, the flares, the strikes, the sounds, the smells, the drones… Beirut.

The sudden spread of targets in central Beyrouth suggests that Israel isn't just intensifying its bombing campaign ahead of a ceasefire. It's trying to shape the day after, through internal political pressure, by terrifying a broad cross section of Lebanese society.

همجية لا حدود لها.الغارات الاسرائيلية على المباني السكنية ليست حربا بل جرائم.لا بد من العمل على اظهار هذه الحقيقة البسيطة.ورغم تخلف لبنان عن الانضمام الى اتفاقية روما،تستطيع الحكومة قبول اختصاص المحكمة الجنائية الدولية والطلب اليها التحقيق في جرائم اسرائيل في لبنان.

There should be no fear where there is courage, integrity and committment to justice and human rights without discrimination. The reputation of the ICC has always been at stake because of Palestine; now more than ever. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/turmoi…

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

That patch of red earth on the left at 25sec used to be full of olive trees lined by eucalyptus, they were my grandparents’ trees

💔 The heart bleeds at the scale of the devastation. This is #Kfarkila. #SouthLebanon where Israel is imposing a forced depopulation by destroying everything, buildings and agricultural fields.

Not only are they fighting Israel to the last Lebanese, but now we have the good fortune of benefiting from hearing them explain our constitution to us.

Israel has just won the war crime of the century prize: The IDF used chemical weapons on UN peacekeepers! x.com/unifil_/status…

Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.

Operating today in one of the governmental hospitals in Beirut. The wounded patients have lost multiple family members and some of the staff have lost multiple family members. As is the case in Gaza, for Israel, peoples' homes is the battlefield

The field of IR and political science spends decades studying how processes of dehumanization take place to enable collective punishment of entire populations only to remain largely mute as a professional class when it happens in front of their eyes.

This language ("Hezbollah villages") is intended to pre-excuse civilian casualties.

Is anyone really surprised?

Journalists at CNN and the BBC have exposed the inner workings of their newsrooms, alleging pro-Israel bias in coverage of the war on Gaza, as well as systematic double standards and frequent violations of journalistic principles ⤵️ aje.io/ric9cw

Be wary of the credulous takes about a new Middle East being forged through war.

Here is Netanyahu *22 years ago* arguing that a US invasion of Iraq "will have, I guarantee you, enormous positive reverberations on the region."



Samer Makarem Reposted

The notion that Israel is now engaged in targeted attacks against the southern suburbs of Beirut is a joke. It is now pursuing the systematic destruction of Shia-majority quarters—the so-called Dahiyeh Doctrine—to exacerbate a humanitarian crisis for Hezbollah, and for Lebanon.


Samer Makarem Reposted

1/ There is something very worrying about the logic being presented in the region. People are speaking about power, all the time. How to corner an enemy. How to retaliate. The "rules of engagement". There is no discussion about politics. About the future. The alternative.


Samer Makarem Reposted

This time, there will be no divine victory. This time, there will be no “had I known” (لَو كنت أعلم). This time, only tears and devastation will prevail as we stand before the ruins of our country. For a year now, we’ve been calling on Hezbollah to stop the fire they ignited on…
