Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
Women are the manager of the home, not a servant for you to say, “Why didn’t you do this? Why didn’t you do that? Why isn’t the house clean?” A woman is like a flower. A flower must be cared for and protected, and she will enrich you with her color, fragrance, and qualities.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
“One man of popularity can let the world know the problem. He might lose a few dollars himself telling the truth, might lose his life, but he's helping millions. But if I kept my mouth shut because I can make millions–this ain't doing nothing. I just love freedom and flesh and blood of my people more than I do the money.”–Muhammad Ali (1971)
Maybe we need livable wage. Compassion. Affordable housing. Compassion. More funding for programs and shelters, mental health support for the homeless. Compassion.
Reminder that the civil rights movement was not just random people who had enough one day. They were carefully and militantly trained political activists who deployed strategic forces to end Jim Crow segregation. Never forget them.
