Benjamin Netanyahu and his generals promised they would "make a Gaza of Beirut" and they've been as good as their word. Israel has killed thousands and made more than a million people homeless in Lebanon; most of those through bombing attacks against highrise apartment blocks. And as with its obliteration of Gaza, Israel's "justification" for the civilian carnage is a hunt for members of Hezbollah, hiding it says beneath the flats and hospitals and other vital infrastructure, using the population as a "human shield".
Laith Marouf is a Beirut-based multimedia consultant, producer, and now frontline war reporter. He's the founder and Executive Director of FreePalestine.Video whose purpose it says is to provide coverage of the region, “…in the absence of media supporting the resistance forces in the English language due to the ban in the West.”
That's never been more important than right now, as the Holocaust begun by Israel and its Western backers against Palestine spreads to Lebanon and across the region.
Laith Marouf in the first half.
And; last month Archive.org was hit with a DDoS, or denial of service hack attack. Among other things the Archive is the home of The Way Back Machine, a tool used by researchers, writers, reporters, editors, and all manner of people wanting to know when, who, and what was said, written, and performed on the internet - the entire internet. It is in short the nearest thing we have today to the Library of Alexandria; a place where the sum of knowledge available on the new medium can be found. So who would want to burn that library down - and why?
Debbie Lerman is a retired medical writer and Fellow at the Brownstone Institute, spending her time these days doing research and writing articles for it. Debbie's focus is the societal and global trends instigating and contributing to the Covid catastrophe; trends she says are accelerating even yet. Her recent article, co-authored with Brownstone founder, Jeffrey A. Tucker is, 'They Are Scrubbing the Internet Right Now'.
Debbie Lerman and the war being waged for the internet's past and our collective future in the second half.
But first, Laith Marouf from Beirut.
