Zionists Refuse Global Ceasefire Consensus; Rampage in Lebanon
Laith Marouf rushes to the scene of a massacre a block away from his home in Beirut, where the Zionists conducted an attack on a residential building and led to the martyrdom of 15 civilians, and injury of tens more. The attack was one of more than a hundred launched by the pedo-cannibal regime on Lebanon, in defiance of the global consensus for a ceasefire in West Asia.

The scale of the killing & destruction in #Lebanon today is nothing short of horrific. @volker_turk condemns deadly wave of #Israeli strikes, as hundreds – incl. civilians – are killed and injured in carnage. Civilians & civilian infrastructure must be protected.
The int'l community must act quickly to help bring an end to this nightmare.

“Miranda was then struck from behind, handcuffed and put into an unmarked vehicle that took him to Portland’s ICE building, Fuller said.”
People are outraged that this happened to a US citizen. There should be outrage when ANYONE is treated this way.

Does Netanyahu even understand what a ceasefire is?

Migrant domestic workers' severe isolation and vulnerability due to the structural constraints of the kafala system, has left them unprepared and unsupported in the face of ongoing conflict and displacement in Lebanon.
This local crisis mirrors global trends, where migrant labourers are often the first to be discarded in times of conflict.
In response, grassroots solidarity networks, including migrant rights collectives, faith-based organisations and community initiatives, have become critical lifelines.
Drawing from our ongoing needs assessment with MDWs around Beirut, @MYRMEK and I write on preliminary findings and broader implications for @alrawiyamag's latest issue “Silenced Land, Powerful Voices”. ⬇️
In their article for Al Rawiya, @jasminldiab & @MYRMEK explore how Israel’s war on Lebanon has further alienated and marginalized migrant workers, many of whom were left by their employers to fend for themselves under Israel’s airstrikes.

The bombs raining on Beirut now are destroying our city- They, and the tanks on our borders are also the last nail in the coffin of any belief in a humanitarian human order, international law, and global justice. It is even scarier to imagine the future now than to hear the bombs
And Israel deems their bombardment in Beirut “moral” because they (sometimes) give evacuation orders before dropping bombs on homes
There’s nothing humane about forcing everyone to watch Twitter until 4am to see if they have to rush their families out of bed and into the street

We have just learned that an Israeli airstrike killed our dear and long-time friend Dina Darwiche, and severely injured members of her family. Dina was the gentlest and kindest soul we knew.
She had been dedicated to her humanitarian work with UNHCR for as long as I can remember. Her human rights work from as early as our university days will echo through the halls of @NDU_Louaize and beyond, always.
I am broken. I am absolutely destroyed. I cannot breathe. When will the world let us breathe?!

Our latest study seeks to understand the scope, needs, and capacities of migrant communities connected to Jesuit networks in Beirut and Bourj Hammoud. It aims to raise awareness about the existing organizations, community groups, and mutual aid networks that support migrants and refugees.
It covers a diverse range of actors: Sri Lankan and other South Asian communities actively involved with the Achrafieh Cricket Club, parishioners of St. Joseph Tabaris Church, and organizations of Filipina, East African, and other national and ethnic groups. It also includes Sudanese and South Sudanese families and individuals connected to the Bakhita Group, and the new South Sudanese Women’s Association, a refugee-led organization.
Additionally, it highlights the involvement of the African United Communities of Lebanon within these migrant and refugee networks: reliefweb.int/report/lebanon…
Me: Someone define “collateral damage”
Israel: okay! On Feb 13th, we conducted air strikes in Rafah and killed at least 74 Palestinians, including 27 kids and 22 women, as COVER for rescuing 2 hostages elsewhere in town.

Social cohesion is often seen as a force for good. But it comes with risks that aren't well known by aid actors.

My latest article is open access in @JRefugeeStudies. It addresses the effects of Lebanon’s financial crisis & currency collapse as #displacement in place. What does this mean?

This special issue considers the concept SEDENTIST BIAS as a fresh take on an old question asked by James Scott in ‘Seeing Like a State’:
Why are policies intended to pursue “progress” so often detrimental to people who move?

I normally use this account for professional stuff only, but this is going to be as personal as it gets. And quite long too. So let’s dive in. There is the saying that the personal is political – if you have any doubts, please read this thread.

Ok here's a technical breakdown of why the “@Dyson Zone™ Air-Purifying Headphones” aka. the Snot Cannon aka. the Wearable SuperSpreader Event is such a staggeringly bad idea and a significant danger to public health if it is allowed to be sold.

Moken people are known as the "Sea Nomads'" of #Thailand. But they are losing access to their traditional waters. In a new Dana+20 blog post, Janepicha Cheva-Isarakul & Christoph Sperfeldt explain why. #UNFPII
