the thing i admire the most about jean is his bravery. the way he chooses to always do the right thing despite his fear, his anger, his inner conflicts.
It doesn’t feel real that Israel has been allowed to take things to this point. How have they been allowed to endlessly bomb, invade, murder, torture, steal? How has nobody stopped this? It’s so sickening, it’s a nightmare
Lebanese journalist Ali Hariri wrote on his FB page:
"From that photograph, no one remains but me and my son Hussein beside me…
As for my beloved wife Zaynab, and my two sons Hadi and Ahmad, they were killed yesterday by Israel, with all the oppression, arrogance, and tyranny this world can hold.
Their loss has shattered my heart… yet it is a fracture that Allah will mend; through acceptance, surrender, and trust in Him. What eases the weight of this calamity is knowing it is under His watch; for had it not been in God’s sight, my soul would not have endured such separation.
Yesterday, I mourned my dear brother Haj Jalal and my beloved brother-in-law Abu Reda… And today, I mourn my beloved Zaynab, and my sons Hadi and Ahmad.
O Lord, take until You are pleased…
Even if we are all killed… this path, we will continue."
إنّا لله وإنّا إليه راجعون.
my whole tl is filled with lebanese ppl announcing the death of entire families, gone in just a few seconds, & others worrying for a loved one who they haven't heard from. this is heartbreaking & inhumane & I can't believe the whole world is just turning a blind eye to all this
its really frustrating how nobody is talking abt this. 160 bombs in 10 minutes and its not breaking headlines. people are not batting an eye to this while this is peoples reality. i feel like im living on a whole different world
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.
we need to think more about how much violence against the middle east is normalized. mainstream media always paints ir as a "war" or "conflict" and not active racism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and constant dehumanization towards these countries and their people
"Never take your geographical luck for granted. The safety, freedom and comfort you live in are luxuries denied to millions. Not because they deserve any less, but because the world is unjust."
If another country hit America with 160 airstrikes in ten minutes, you’d call it terrorism, right?
Well, Israel just did that to Lebanon.
And somehow, people think it doesn’t matter because it’s Israel.
please share this link and donate to the lebanese red cross if you can. lebanon is need of your help now more than ever hundreds are dead and injured please help & spread! https://t.co/fXJlIIHCTx
Since the “ceasefire”, Israel has:
📌Killed its 262nd journalist in Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Wishah
📌Killed & injured over 1,400 in Lebanon
📌Netanyahu: “Our finger is on the trigger”
Israel and America can’t be trusted. Hellbent on destruction for twisted devious goals.
fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this
