At least 1 Lebanese paramedic was murdered by Israel since morning, in Arabsalim (Ali Nasr - Image)

The useless World Health Organization (WHO) has verified 190 attacks on healthcare facilities and personnel in Lebanon since the latest Israeli escalation in March.
135 paramedics murdered at least, more than 200 injured and more than 250 vehicles were damaged.

un dernier rail de coke pour le #macronisme finissant, défait dans les urnes et sans ancrage local mais toujours mégalomaniaque : faire disparaitre les communes de l'IdF et dissoudre les forces politiques en particulier de gauche (PCF, LFI) qui lui résistent

The NYT describes Hezbollah drones "steadily hunting down Israeli soldiers and commanders... with often-lethal strikes" posted in "chilling videos."

Israel has killed 115x more people in Lebanon (3,433 vs. 29) since the start of the war. The drones get "chilling." The 3,433 Lebanese dead don't even get a mention.

Israel is holding up the U.S. peace agreement with Iran so that they can do more of this in Lebanon, because apparently this is not enough

There is a special place in hell for those activating incessantly a whirring drone above our heads- A continuous reminder that in just 2 months, Israel erased +50 villages, killed +3000, wounded thousands more, bombs daily, and just thrives on forever wars.

[Mona Fawaz @mona_fawaz]

Missing Spring in the South- more than words can say… Thinking of the horrors Israel is inflicting on this land -and the lives that shape it- makes my heart explode. There will be accountability somehow, some day.

[Jamil Mouawad @JamilMouawad]

On Lebanese resilience:

Many have written about the topic and criticized it, in particular after the Beirut blast (including a chapter I wrote back in 2017).

But looking at it now, I think we should rethink resilience not as a condition in which we live or consciously inhabit (which makes the concept very controversial and suggestive of cooptation)…

Resilience in this sense is not a situation ante, but rather a post one.

As someone currently living through war in Lebanon and Beirut, I would not say I am resilient, but rather desperate and in agony… often feeling this is the end of almost everything…

Perhaps the same was true for those who lived the 82 invasion of Beirut. It was the end of everything for them as well.

Yet, it’s exactly those people who look back at these days and currently say “we endured, we were defiant” (samadna) etc.

In other words, “resilience” is a post-pain condition to illustrate not only the fact that we survived, but also to give meaning to our existence in this part of the world.

In this context, it becomes a grammar to justify our decision to stay in Beirut and to give meaning to this decision, a decision that often appears absurd (and perhaps always will)…

It’s that decision that no one can fully explain, yet one that no one can permanently afford to abandon.

It’s time to change how we talk about what’s happening in Lebanon. According to the Genocide Convention, the Israeli army has been carrying out acts of genocide in Lebanon.

[Jean-françois Corty @JfCorty]

#Gaza La France n’accueille pas de blessés et malades, pas de chercheurs et artistes même dans le programme PAUSE, ne condamne pas les contraintes à l’aide humanitaire, ne remet pas en cause les accords d’association. Elle est concrètement alignée sur le suprémacisme colonial.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel is wiping out families in Lebanon now. This is what happens when you normalize genocide.

[Ben Marmarelli بن مرمريلي בן מרמרלי @mrmrly44557]

A very serious investigation has been published in @nytimes about rape and sexual violence carried out by the authorities in Israel. I am also quoted in this article as one of many, many people who provided accounts to this newspaper, which is considered extremely pro-Israeli.
In response, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote that these are antisemitic “blood libels.” It is clear that the reports already published by Al Jazeera in 2024, and by me in 2025 when the BBC censored and deleted the interview with me, are true.
People simply need to listen to Palestinians. But the world does not listen to Palestinians. It only listens when it is written in The New York Times — and now it is written there.
