Last week, Israel began a new stage of its assault on Lebanon.
In just a matter of days, a million people have been displaced in Lebanon, according to the UN, and over a thousand murdered.
Unlike what the mainstream media is silent about, one of the things we have to know is that this is an escalation from what Israel has already been doing for months: its rockets outnumbered the ones shot by Hezbollah five-to-one.
I will release a podcast episode with my commentary on this development – a new frontier of Israel’s just plainly psychopathic behaviour at this point – later this week.
But now, I want to share with you an excellent video I watched recently that serves as a great analysis of what’s been unfolding. It is an interview with Mouin Rabbani, a Middle East analyst and the Editor of Jadaliyya.
Some months ago, I also shared a recommendation for another interview with him and Norman Finkelstein that still remains a must.
In this video, Owen Jones asks Mouin so many questions that I myself would have wanted to ask. Please watch it today to understand what it is that we’re actually seeing in Lebanon.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
