I am thinking of launching a media company to report on international affairs from the West to the Middle East, covering those stories which get little or no coverage by international media outlets, and publishing opinion pieces. We will publish posts, long-form videos, short reels, stories, and articles on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), and Substack.
However, I do not have all the skills required to manage a media company like this entirely on my own. This is why I am looking for someone who is willing to become my business partner, who will not give up when we are going through ups and downs, and whose goals and mission align with mine.
An ideal candidate is someone who:
Has video editing and graphic design skills. (If you have skills in AI video production, that is a plus, as it might come in handy when we require AI-generated videos and images.)
Can debate with facts and statistics. This skill will come in handy when we are live streaming.
Does this job with passion, since consistency will be crucial to grow a company like this.
Believes in diversity and multiculturalism, and is also non-partisan and pragmatic.
No prior experience is required. If you have any, it will be better.
If you think you are the right candidate, please reply or DM, outlining your skills and explaining your vision for this company. When you are submitting your proposal, please include any samples you have to showcase your skills. Also, please include your contact information, as conducting an interview will be essential.
Note: I have included a link to a video to this post to show you the kind of editing and matching that will be ideal.

@Amit_Nakesh007@Clock_Hypocrisy@mehdirhasan Don't you think Israel should be demonized given the fact that it has killed thousands of children and has violated more than 15,400 cease fires in Lebanon according to the United Nations?
How many people were murdered in the name of Christianity in Judaism, 100, 500, 1000, more?
Instead of pretending the problem does not exist, why not confront it?

He called Islam a "religion of bloodshed."
Many Muslims got angry.
But here's my question:
How many people have been killed by people claiming to act in the name of Islam in 2026?
100?
500?
1,000?
More?
Instead of pretending the problem doesn't exist, why not confront it?
Every time terrorists, kidnappers, and extremists commit atrocities while shouting Islamic slogans, they hand Islam's critics fresh ammunition.
The monsters among us are giving our religion a bad name.
If you truly love Islam, stop defending the indefensible and start calling out the criminals hiding behind it. 💯
There is a pole, which says that majority of the Israeli people want the people of Palestine to be ethnically cleansed.
Does it mean that it is okay for Hamas officials to kill them even if they are civilians?

The silence from @piersmorgan about terrorists in press vests in Gaza is deafening.
You want to get angry that Israel is killing “journalists?”
Guess what?! They’re not.
They’re killing terrorists in press vests. Piers should be the LOUDEST critic, yet he’s conspicuously quiet
The PLO and Christian Factions
Following its expulsion from Jordan in 1970, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) established a massive armed presence in Lebanon, essentially creating a "state within a state." This severely upset the country's delicate sectarian balance.
When the civil war broke out in 1975, the PLO allied with Lebanese Muslim and leftist coalitions against right-wing Maronite Christian militias (such as the Phalange). Both sides targeted civilians in a vicious cycle of sectarian violence and massacres. For example:
The Damour Massacre (1976): PLO and leftist forces attacked the Christian town of Damour, killing hundreds of Maronite civilians.
The Karantina and Tel al-Zaatar Massacres (1976): Christian militias slaughtered hundreds of Palestinian and Muslim civilians in refugee camps and neighborhoods.
The Alliance with Israel
Threatened by the PLO and fearing a total loss of political power, prominent Maronite Christian leaders—most notably Bashir Gemayel—actively sought foreign assistance. They turned to Israel, which viewed the PLO as a direct national security threat launching cross-border attacks into Israeli territory.
Israel began secretly arming, training, and financing Christian militias in the late 1970s. This alliance culminated in Israel's full-scale invasion of Lebanon in 1982, aimed at expelling the PLO from the country.
Summary
The claim contains historical truth: the PLO did clash violently with Lebanese Christians and committed atrocities, prompting Christian militia leaders to form a strategic military alliance with Israel to combat them. However, it was a multi-sided civil war characterized by heavy casualties and war crimes committed by nearly all factions involved.
The breakdown you provided is remarkably accurate on the core historical facts. If you check standard historical archives, academic texts, or even official investigations, the specific events, dates, and organizations you listed are entirely real and documented.
Where the "truth" gets complicated isn't the facts themselves, but how they are selected and framed.
Here is a direct audit of how the points hold up against established history:
100% Factually Accurate
The PLO in Southern Lebanon: Following Black September (1970–1971), the PLO was violently expelled from Jordan by King Hussein and moved its operations to Lebanon. They established a heavily armed enclave (often called Fatahland) in the south, which undermined the Lebanese government and was a massive factor in igniting the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.
The Specific Terrorist Attacks: The massacres you listed—Kiryat Shmona (1974), Ma'alot (1974), and the Coastal Road bus hijacking (1978)—are real, tragic historical events carried out by Palestinian factions operating out of or tied to Lebanon.
Rocket Fire & Troop Size: Northern Israel was under routine Katyusha rocket fire, and residents did spend significant time in bomb shelters. By 1982, the PLO had essentially built a conventional army in southern Lebanon with thousands of fighters, heavy artillery, and anti-aircraft weapons.
Who Committed Sabra and Shatila: It is a strict historical fact that the actual killers were the Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia, not Israeli soldiers. The militia entered the camps and carried out the massacre after their leader, Bachir Gemayel, was assassinated.
The Omissions (The Other Side of the Complexity)
Where a historian would argue the narrative becomes incomplete is in the broader strategic goals of the invasion. While the provocation was entirely real, the scale of the response went far beyond border defense:
The Scope of the Invasion: The public justification was to push the PLO back 40 kilometers to clear the rocket range (Operation Peace for Galilee). However, Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon pushed all the way to the capital, Beirut, surrounded it, and initiated a heavy siege.
The Political Goals: The invasion wasn't just a defensive reaction; it was an ambitious geopolitical gamble. The objective was to completely eradicate the PLO as a political entity, force Syrian troops out of Lebanon, and install a pro-Western, Christian-led government in Beirut that would sign a peace treaty with Israel.
The Pretext: The immediate trigger used by Israel was the attempted assassination of its ambassador in London by the Abu Nidal Organization. Ironically, Abu Nidal was a bitter enemy of Yasser Arafat's PLO and was actually trying to spark a war that would destroy the PLO. Furthermore, a US-brokered ceasefire along the Israel-Lebanon border had largely held for nearly a year prior to the invasion.
The Culpability at Sabra and Shatila
While Israeli soldiers didn't pull the triggers, the reason Israel faces severe historical and international condemnation for the massacre is due to omission and oversight, which Israel’s own government officially recognized:
The IDF controlled the perimeter of the camps, provided illumination flares at night, and actively allowed the Phalangist militia entry, knowing the militia was consumed by rage over Gemayel's assassination.
Israel’s official Kahan Commission in 1983 concluded that Israeli leaders bore "indirect responsibility." It stated that Sharon and military commanders should have known a massacre was highly likely and failed to stop it even after early reports of civilian killings leaked out.
