If 300+ people died and 1,000+ got injured in any place in the world.
London, NYC, Dubai, Toronto, Paris or any "major city" everyone would be screaming TERRORISM.
But when that HAPPENS within 10 minutes in an afternoon in Beirut, Lebanon by Israel suddenly the world switches up.
Disgusting.
Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is "normal." As if those families don't have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn't someone's entire universe.
I am a reporter on the ground. Let me help you understand what is happening. Israel killed almost 500 men, women and children (all civilians) and committed horrific acts of ecocide and ethnic cleansing since the first day of the implementation of the ceasefire. Per UNIFIL, Israel violated the ceasefire 15,400 times. Hezbollah never violated it or attacked the occupied territories in any way. Here’s a short video, a mere fraction of what the year was like before this new war started. You’re a government official. Inform yourself.
Eid mubarak to our people in Palestine, Iran, Sudan, and Lebanon. Eid mubarak to our martyrs, prisoners, elders, children, and freedom fighters. Eid mubarak to those who have sacrificed everything to fight for a world free from imperialism and colonialism.
This is the heart of Beirut today.
A city that has stood for 5,000 years.
Israel is obliterating it — flattening civilian apartment block after apartment block.
Not military targets.
Civilian homes. Civilian infrastructure. Civilian life.
BREAKING:
Israel just bombed the Lebanese National Public University in Beirut.
They murdered the Director of the Faculty of Science, Dr. Hussein Bazzi, and Dr. Murtada Srour.
They are not just killing people — they are erasing knowledge and attacking the future of Lebanon.
i think calling the bombings in west asia "a distraction" is incredibly weird like oh yeah of course the hundreds of people being murdered is just a distraction from the actual real problems and doesnt matter at all of course youre so right !
gross
“I wept. My God, my God. What kind of people were the Israelis? For the first time in my life I knew pure, naked hate. At that moment, I think I could have killed.” (Jean Said Makdisi)
