Reagan and Biden, Beirut and Gaza

Biden's utter lack of compassion, humanity and the basic tenets of representative government—grows every day. Global South plus Russia stocking a gargantuan hypocrisy by the West.

In the aftermath of her country’s 1982 war in Lebanon, the Israeli poet Dahlia Ravikovitch tried to represent the suffering it had caused. For the past month, three lines from her poem “Get Out of Beirut” have been ringing in my ears: 

How many children do you have?
How many children did you have?
It’s hard to keep the children safe in times like these.

It has been difficult to think deeply about the current war amid so many competing expressions of communal rage, more difficult still to hold multiple horrors at once—to grieve-worrying about the fate of the roughly 240 hostages and clinging to the hope of their safe release; communing they lose loved ones to settler violence in the West Bank and to the Israeli army’s relentless bombing campaign in Gaza, which at the time of this writing has killed 10,328 Palestinians—including 4,237 children—and continues to kill more.

This is was Beirut southern suburb in Lebanon 2006.

This is Nakba 75 years ago [May 1948] and today, November 2023

Israel completely flattened most of the buildings to the ground along with entire villages in south Lebanon. A month later, Israel was defeated. Just like Lebanon in 2006, Gaza will prevail and rise again from the ashes.

I know a lot of high-ranking media, such as New York Times, Guardian, Anadolu, BILD, Spiegel, Financial Times, Strait Times, Washington Post etc subscribed my substack. Plestia ‘Bosbos’ Alaqad ready to be your Stringer inside Gaza under bombing by Israel. Plestiaa2011@gmail.com

Toddler with Plestia, before war, living in Northern Gaza and they evacuated to Southern Gaza. Since Friday, Oct 13, when Israel announced to every Gazans from northern move to southern, more than 5,000 killed in southern, not counting barbaric bombing in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza is being depopulated, while even residents in the south are ordered to evacuate as the israelis implement their ethnic cleansing. Refugee literally fulfilled Israel warning, and still killed with barbaric bombing by Israel. Documentation by Plestia Alaqad
