"I am thinking about how people often talk about the steadfastness of our people like they are superhuman, how unintentionally dehumanizing this is. People speak like this, I think, to comfort themselves; if someone’s doing more... maybe it is okay for the rest of us to do less."
@jacobrosenberg.bsky.socialA unique report from southern Lebanon. Mary Turfah—a resident surgeon with family who has been wounded in the country—visits both her family, who have been bombed, and the paramedics trying to save those attacked.
It's a dispatch a bit unlike anything I've read before:

‘If I Leave, Who Is Going to Rescue People?’
In Lebanon, Israel’s bombs have wounded thousands, including my family. I visited the paramedics risking their lives to save them.
