The new scale of Israel’s destruction of Lebanon should have shocked and shaken everyone.
And in a world where morals play a role in politics, we would have seen outrage, condemnation, and the cutting of ties – years too late, I know – with Israel.
Now, what we’re seeing is not just (”just”) Israel’s disregard for human lives, but even for the U.S.-Iranian ceasefire. I think it says a lot about how much Israel respects U.S. interests, and whether there’s anything that would make it give up its colonial expansionist ambitions.
In my video, I also remind us who, in the end, is showing up for the people of Lebanon. I also invite you to do it by showing solidarity with your friends in Lebanon in these increasingly horrific times.
First, I encourage you to donate to organisations in Lebanon that need our solidarity right now.
Then, if you’d like, I am also inviting you to my workshop, whose proceeds will partly go towards humanitarian relief efforts in Lebanon, here ❤️🩹
Lastly, if you choose to support my work, please consider inviting me for coffee or contributing to cover my hosting fees (WordPress, domain, music licensing, etc.) for 2026 by clicking one of the buttons below.
The people dearest to me know that I love sending postcards (my mom has the largest collection that I started almost 20 years ago).
Now, I am offering to send a postcard to anyone who contributes $100 USD or more to my work. Just make a donation and send me (jposkeviciute[at]gmail.com) a mailing address where my card can reach you!
As always, stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
