Impunity breeds more crime. Fourteen months of non-stop mass slaughter, shielded and supported by western powers, had unleashed Israel’s genocidal mania on full display. Good luck reigning back this monster.

Hamra, Beirut where last night’s Israeli strike took place hours before the ceasefire. Looks like it hit a currency exchange shop. Many displaced families in the commercial neighborhood have already packed up to return to southern Lebanon and Beirut southern suburbs.

Imagine losing 50 to 100 members of your community every day for over a year. How can one grasp the scale of killing and loss of life in Gaza? Beyond the murdered are the injured, missing, amputated, disabled, elderly, children, and pregnant—imagine the unimaginable suffering they endure daily.

I hope to raise my kids to be ambitious—not to think about war, missiles, rockets. Every day, I see a fear in their eyes that I can’t do much about. It’s very painful. If you have kids, you know how horrible it is not to be able to comfort them, to ensure they are alright, to make them hope for anything beyond living one more day. We want to live freely like other people—to grow scientifically and economically, to walk in the street without fearing bombardments, to make plans. We want to be able to learn, think, grow, travel, dream—to feel like we are really human. Not to think only about meeting our basic needs. This is what life has always been about for us, and now—I want the world to know—we are being eradicated en masse. This is not what life should look like.
