Draw you out tonight queen?

[Ali 🪖🪂🇵🇸🇱🇧🔫 @ohaliohhh]

I love when the "far right" idolizes fairuz when she clearly stands against everything they stand for and made 1000 songs about palestine and we all know she's pro resistance

[shri @shriiyasays]

yes

Anyone who knows #Lebanon knows this song. It is the most iconic Lebanese resistance song, memorized by every Lebanese and Arab, performed by the legendary singer Julia Butros.

Watch this video and see how the audience sings with passion and pride, shouting every word, from children to the elderly.

Lyrics 👇

We refuse to die; tell them we will remain.
Your land, your homes, and the people who keep struggling.

Everyone, O South of Lebanon, has sold you empty words,
Justice is crucified, bleeding out peace.

We will remain here, even if the whole world fades away.
Not a grain of your soil will ever be lost, O South.

Don’t be afraid, O South, of time’s betrayal,
Of the horrors of war, of the pain of deprivation.

After all that has happened, after all that has happened,
This home will always be ours, and the laurel trees will return,
Blooming with dignity across your land, O South.

In case anyone is confused about what this is:

This illegal Israeli occupation map includes the sea, coincidentally where Lebanon’s gas and oil fields are.

This is and always has been a land and resources grab.

@IDF YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!! YOU'RE THE FUCKING TERRORISTS!!!

A ceasefire in Lebanon would happen because Hezbollah held the line in the south despite the destructive attacks, and because of Iranian pressure via Hormuz. Nothing to do with the Lebanese government, which offered nothing except a humiliating surrender through normalization.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Just FYI, this man is Antoun Sehnaoui, a Lebanese banker who made money helping to lead the country into financial ruin.

He is also known in Lebanon for funding a fascist Christian militia called Jnoud al Rab that commits violence against gay people.

In this video he stands by Trump appointed Morgan Ortagus as she celebrates his Zionism while Israel destroys his country.

Many Lebanese elites pushing to normalize with Israel are close to this very destructive man.

I honestly cannot contain my anger at what the Lebanese state is doing, especially at a time like this and after all the martyrs, but I am trying my best to focus on the outcome, and recalling Sayyed's words that I will believe till my last breath: that Lebanon will never become "israeli." The men of God will ensure that happens. I trust them.

What's happened in Lebanon over the past week is categorically worse than Oct 7 and if you say this most people will, at best, shrug or look at you like you're speaking another language

[asad abukhalil أسعد أبو خليل @asadabukhalil]

This day in Lebanon will live in infamy. It will expose and discredit those in government and media who, for a fee, have promoted peace with the genocide killers of Tel Aviv.

[Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve]

Beirut is under attack. Bombs going off all around us, multiple strikes across many parts of the city. Can’t post footage now for obvious reasons but people are desperately trying to find a place of safety.

100 strikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon. This is a clear message that there is no ceasefire on Israel’s part and that it is escalating its attacks on civilian areas

[Dermot Kennedy @DermotKennedy]

And so “The Weight of the Woods” is yours now. I’ve lived with these songs for a long time, and have kept them close, like some kind of promise. I’m so so happy to set them free. I dream that they can bring you some hope.

It’s album eve!!! I truly cannot believe it, feels quite surreal. I’m so excited for you all to hear it. Most beautiful experience I’ve had making music. I feel so so grateful today 🌲

I cry every time I think about Fatima and Mohammad’s parents. In a few weeks, when less and less people visit their house & when the media moves on to cover “Israel’s” next crimes, it will only be this steadfast man and his wife, alone at home with the empty rooms of their son and daughter.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel murdered every single person in this photo today in South Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

2 journalists
7 paramedics
1 Lebanese soldier

They bombed the journalists’ vehicle — then bombed them again when paramedics rushed to help.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

My friends and colleagues Fatima Fatouni and Hajj Ali Choeib have been killed by the Israeli army in a targeted drone strike.

They were shining examples of journalistic integrity and speaking truth to power. They died in the field while documenting Israeli war crimes. May they rest in peace.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

This is a famous Lebanese song for the resistance by Lebanese Islamic religious singer Ali Al Attar.

'Strike and the wind yells, bless you O protector of our homes'

'You're writing your honour with your weapons, from your martyrdom and wounds'

You can't defeat these people 🇱🇧

[leila @ainiladra]

his words are so missed but his presence is still felt even now
