Lebanon is currently being ethnically replaced on a scale equivalent to the naakba, and the media is hardly saying a word. Civilian neighborhoods demolished, with no false pretext like 10/7 to justify this genocide.
How can the world continue to let Israel get away with this?
Gaza. A young boy carries his sister, both starving, trapped, homeless and fleeing from Israeli genocide.
On the other side of a wall other kids play at swimming pools and eat fast food.
This is what the UK/EU and US support.
Arayes, an Arabic word, refers to a dish that originated in Lebanon. miraculously became an Israeli flagship dish 🤷🏽♀️
The lil thief can't even pronounce it correctly.
I'm afraid of what is meant to follow the assassination of Khaled Nabhan. hear me out...
Israel's modus operandi is to push the boundary to see what it can get away with. For example, frustrated by international activists in Palestine, they decided to kill one or two to see what they could get away with. Rachel Corrie, Tom Hurndall, etc were thus killed in cold blood. However, there were lawsuits and various reverberations that were costly to them. In other words, there was sufficient outrage and resistance to make them rethink that strategy.
Their desire to bomb hospitals in Gaza also preceded in this way. Recall the first hospital they hit? They tested the waters by targeting the courtyard of the Al-Ahli hospital first. There was initial outrage tamped by their muddling of the narrative. This paved the way for the much bigger target: Al Shifa hospital, the largest and most advanced hospital in Gaza. They employed the same playbook in collusion with corporate media solidly in their pockets (BBC, CNN..all of them). It worked. The bombing of hospitals was normalized and no one batted an eye as Israel proceeded to bomb, gut, invade, and destroy one hospital after another, killing, kidnapping, torturing, and raping healthcare workers and patients alike.
This is how they made their way into Rafah, the supposed "red line," and turned every so-called "safe zone" into an actual death camp.
This is how they've been assassinating journalists.
This is what happened with the assassination of the World Central Kitchen workers. Remember the first time? the second time they did it did not elicit any meaningful headlines or coverage at all.
There are a few personalities that have emerged from Gaza who've become much beloved and iconic symbols of love, light, endurance, dignity, family, community, and faith. Khaled Nabhan was one of them, and they just killed him.
Make no mistake that this was an intentional assassination to test our reactions; to see if they can get away with killing the next internationally known Palestinian with millions of followers. We all know who they are—those amazing people whose light on this earth shines too bright for the darkness of the Israeli soul.
