Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike earlier this month, family and friends say.
For more than 20 years she was a dedicated & stubborn protector of Lebanon’s sea turtles.
She had stayed at her home on the beach in Mansouri, southern Lebanon, despite the war.
I had the privilege of interviewing her in 2017 when she was resisting the construction of a beach resort backed by powerful local players.
Jonathan Cook:
How Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades
‘These accounts are nearly 60 years old, published last week by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz under the headline “We were ordered to kill”.
Israeli soldiers interviewed shortly after the 1967 war – often referred to as the Six-Day War – not only confessed that they and others routinely committed war crimes’
The genocide has been going on for decades.

Israel is training soldiers and other defense officials to conduct psychological operations designed to “influence public consciousness” in Israel and abroad, a leaked Defense Ministry tender has revealed. 🧵
Luana is a raging Islamophobe, a celebrant of Jewish terrorism, but is allowed to have a leadership role with an affiliate of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
Where is the CEO @AlexRyvchin calling for the resignation of this extremist from one of his affiliates? End/
There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. The IDF will continue bombing Southern Lebanon with the backing of the US, and none of the population will be allowed to return.
The world allows this, is complicit in it and supports it, just as it has the genocide in Gaza and the murders on the West Bank.
Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre.
Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
SISTER OF IRISH PRESIDENT RELIVES HORRORS
A harrowing account by Dr Margaret Connolly, sister of Irish President Catherine Connolly, as she relives the moment when she was recently targeted and kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces as she was sailing the seas alongside activists partaking in the 2026 Global Sumud Mission, hoping to break the illegal Israeli military air, land and sea blockade on Gaza by breaking the siege. In doing so, providing life-saving medicine and other vital forms of aid for the Palestinian people
This is so brave of Juliet. I haven’t seen her for some time but met and worked with her years ago and I know how dedicated she is
I have zero doubt they are speaking truth and @AlboMP must meet with them
20 years since I first met other activists from global south when OS
They used the word “impunity” in a way that was new. I knew meaning of word, but what I later realised was weight & lived experience held it differently
Now Israel shows us all so clearly
Didnt know this rapist was still advising Parliamentarians.
Of note is that the Independent Parliamentary Standards Commission that he and @senatorbabet are so dismissive of, was set up as a way of silencing the outrage arising from his alleged criminal conduct.
@senatorbabet ‘Commissioner of the IPSC’, almost as lightweight as the sheltered workshop dodgy Paul ‘part time’ Brereton is running over at the NACC. This is hilarious. Use your Senators Statements and read the post onto the Hansard under privilege then it’s on record forever!
Israel just executed Ali in Arab Salim, South Lebanon.
Not a fighter. Nor armed.
He was a paramedic. On the frontline saving lives.
Israel bombed him. Then bombed him again — in a double tap strike — to finish the job.
What part of this is “self-defense” exactly?
@SharriMarkson@GemmaTognini Spare us your contrived BS if you weren't also uppity when Minns did it worse. The lengths you go to in order to glamorise a rapist regime disgusts all people of good character.
