@RaniaKhalek While I agree with your point, the minister of the displaced position was created for those displaced after the civil war (particularly mount Lebanon areas). Obviously like any ministry little to nothing was done about that as well
@humanprovince People talk about "iranian hegemony in Lebanon" as if the people were being colonised. No one understands the political situation of Lebanon less than the Lebanese themselves, and many Western academics seem to be worse at it
@VintageVault8 It's a very eurocentric way of looking at things and all it does is obscure the history and culture of Shias. Multidirectional memory exists for a reason and these comparisons still do the center/margin nonsense, instead of learning more about the history of our people
@trhxianl This argument was always made in bad faith because it implied and assumed that Hizbullah is not from Lebanon, but somehow an outside force. It also presumes that Lebanon has a separate functional state and not a coalition of postwar parties; delusional thinking
@LizHurra You cite a number but also say no data is available, then reply that you looked at wikipedia for another statistic. If we go by Wikipedia, 500-750 people died between 1988-1990 (and that is still not cited). Sloppy propaganda, go read a book
1.Shame on you for framing Israeli barbarism as a campaign of liberation when it is clearly waged against the very fabric of Levantine indigenous communities as a whole.
2.Who appointed you to speak on behalf of the Shia community?
3.Brutality was used against every community during the protests in a repression campaign spearheaded by state security forces and, of course, thugs from political parties - except those who co-opted the protests for their own political gain.
@HermezSami The german "left" is very staunchly pro-israel it's pathetic. Even "well-meaning" people think a keffieh is anti-semitic or seem to believe that there is a bunker full of gold and money under a hospital. It's a strange country
Finished operating with my colleagues on a 4 year old with a fractured thigh bone and multiple severed tendons in the hand. Maybe the German Foreign Minister can explain to him why it is necessary for him to go through life with these injuries and a dead mother and 2 siblings.
NEW research from @amnesty on Israel's evacuation orders in #Lebanon: “The warnings issued by the Israeli military to residents of Dahieh, the densely populated southern suburbs of Beirut, were inadequate. Our analysis shows that not only did the warnings issued by the Israeli military include misleading maps, but they were also issued at short notice – in one instance less than 30 minutes before strikes began – in the middle of the night, via social media, when many people would be asleep, offline or not following media reports.”
