Beirut is the capital of a separate country. Telling every resident of 14 areas of Beirut to just immediately pick up and leave. Completely deranged, completely illegal. Funded by your tax dollars, with unconditional bipartisan support.
Please please do not let this become normalised. every time you see an image or video of a screaming child, a burning woman, a man crying because he lost everything, sit with it. Take it in and let it fill you with grief and rage, and let that move you to demand an end to this.
BREAKING - Israeli strike on Beirut’s Ras Al Nabeh/Noueiri area
— sources, videos and local media
Very central/eastern Beirut outside of the area usually targeted.
weaponizing controlled starvation to blow up hungry children with fake food is one of the most monstrous, barbaric, scum of the earth shit i've ever witnessed. israel has dug a grave for itself deeper than hell.
You're constantly worried dead about your family & friends, but you have to go to work & put on a façade because no one around you understands & the war is discussed in such a shallow way disregarding your feelings & that it's your home & everyone you love.
Diary of an expat.
Really distressing situation in Beirut. Hundreds of people sitting in parks, in Martyrs square, in the streets, smoking and coaxing children to sleep and waiting and wondering what the hell is going to happen next.
