Lebanese paramedics sit amidst the rubble, grieving their murdered colleagues.
Israel bombed a Civil Defense Center in Baalbek, Lebanon, wiping out 15 paramedics in an instant.
These were first responders, not combatants.
This is sheer barbarity.
The horror of the Holocaust is burned forever in my brain. There can't be much of it I don't know by heart. The horror of Gaza 2024 is similarly burned forever in my brain. The images are the same. They were lying when they said "Never Again". I refuse to believe that anyone who has seen both Genocides cannot grasp this. #Gaza #Holocaust

Israel’s army has released fabricated dossiers framing us, the last remaining journalists in North Gaza reporting on Israel’s extermination and ethnic-cleansing campaign, as “terrorists”.
This blatant and belligerent attempt to transform us, the last witnesses in the north, into killable targets is an assassination threat and obvious attempt to preemptively justify our murder.
We would like to remind everyone that after murdering our colleague Ismail Al Ghoul, Israel released a document that claimed he supposedly received a military ranking on July 1, 2007, when he would have been a 10 year old child.
This public threat was made without any evidence and is part of a systematic propaganda campaign to justify the unjustifiable as Israel continues to target civilians in Gaza, including doctors, aid workers, children and us journalists.
We call on our colleagues and media institutions around the world to show their solidarity with us.
Despite these dangerous and untrue threats made against us, we remain committed to our profession and will continue to report the facts on the ground as the genocide regretfully continues unabated.
When I was finishing this book, I did not realize that it will come out while the genocidal israeli war on Palestine and Lebanon will still be ongoing. The book discusses the Gaza genocide, the 2006 war, the COVID-19 pandemic, and intersectional feminism in Lebanon and the Levant, among other current matters, all within the framework of media literacy of the oppressed. I hope it will offer a guiding light to those fighting oppression today. I hope to translate it to Arabic soon.

Israel can't ban journalists from going into Lebanon like they can in Gaza, so when Israel claimed there was a bunker under a hospital in Beirut the press just sent a bunch of reporters to investigate and they immediately saw Israel was lying. That's why they ban press from Gaza.
Despite the dangerous and untrue threats made against us from the Israeli occupation, we remain committed to our profession and will continue to report on this genocide .
Tonight It feels that our whole future is hijacked by America’s military industrial complex and there is nothing we can do in this part of the world but endure its effects via the sickest group of psychopaths who every ruled a place in the world…
They wait until the night,
They choose random targets in heavily populated areas like in Beirut,
Give people 5 minutes notice to evacuate (or none at all),
And then bomb them for sport.
All paid for by American taxpayers.
“US doesn’t want to see daily strikes on Beirut”, state department spokesman told reporters…
And this is the third night in a row Beirut’s southern suburbs is under a heavy bombardment
يهددون مستشفى الساحل ويقصفون قرب مستشفى الحريري الحكومي. كلاهما لا يمتان بصلة لحزب الله. كلاهما جريمة حرب وتكرار لما شهدناه في غزة. لا شرعية لأي مسؤول لا يدين جرائم الحرب التي ترتكب على ارضنا.
Israel is making up lies to destroy hospitals in Beirut.
You let them do it in Gaza with zero consequence and now they are repeating the same exact script in Lebanon.
This is sick and criminal, they need to be stopped immediately.
