🇵🇸 Israel’s Gaza onslaught is the next stage of the Dahiya Doctrine | Mondoweiss – 02/12/2023
The Dahiya Doctrine was coined by current Minister Gadi Eisenkot when he was Chief of Northern Command in 2008. The military doctrine, named after the Dahiya quarter of Beirut that Israel targeted and leveled during the 2006 war, outlines “what will happen” to any enemy that dares attack Israel:
“What happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on,” Eisenkot declared in Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot in March 2008. “We will apply disproportionate force on [the village] and cause great damage and destruction there. From our standpoint, these are not civilian villages, they are military bases.

🇵🇸 Children of Shatila (1998) | Mai Masri
In September of 1982, the IOF with the help of Lebanese militia massacred more than 2400 Palestinian and Lebanese refugees in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in West Beirut.
More than 350,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon, 15,000 of them in the refugee camp of Shatila in Beirut. Through the eyes of two children who live in this camp, Issa and Farah, this documentary explores the determination to keep family and dreams thriving in a landscape that has been sculpted by war, poverty, grief and displacement.
The filmmaker gives Issa and Farah a small video camera to film their lives and learn how they see their own world. Both children start asking their elders how they felt about leaving Palestine
Mai Masri is a palestinian filmmaker who has directed and produced many award winning films that have been broadcasted on more than 100 television stations around the world.

🇵🇸 GHASSAN KANAFANI - Artists | Dalloul Art Foundation Beirut
A journalist and a novelist, Kanafani also produced #drawings and #paintings. Much like his writings, his artworks also address the Palestinian cause and the suffering of its people, depicting figurative and partially abstract Palestinian refugees using pale, expressive colors. Also, his works include cityscapes and Arabic #Calligraphy that also endorse the right of freedom for his native country. On July 8, 1972, Kanafani was murdered by a bomb planted in his car by Israel’s #Mossad spy agency in Beirut, where he is buried. Considered one of the most important Palestinian writers, his works were translated in into 17 languages and published in more than 20 countries.

🇵🇸 Ghassan Kanafani: Voice of Palestine (1936-1972) - Palestine Chronicle –
Kanafani was one of the most important figures in 20th century literature. He was also a refugee, a revolutionary Marxist and an internationalist. The Israelis claimed the assassination was a response to the Lod Airport attack two months earlier, although Kanafani had played no direct role in this. He was, according to the obituary in the Lebanese Daily Star, ‘a commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ball-point pen, and his arena the newspaper pages.’ Kanafani was at the time of his death the official spokesman of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the editor of its paper #AlHadaf. The organisation saluted ‘the leader, the writer, the #strategist, and the visionary.

🇵🇸 Ghassan Kanafani and The Era of Revolutionary Palestinian Media | The Listening Post (Feature) Al Jazeera 2020
Ghassan Kanafani was a Palestinian writer who, through books like Men in the Sun, humanised the Palestinian condition of dispossession and displacement. He was, however, first and foremost a #journalist.
He was also a product of 1960s Beirut - a period when the city was a magnet for young reporters, revolutionaries, migrants and misfits, as well as host to the Palestinian leadership in exile. It was in #Beirut that Kanafani produced #AlHadaf, a forward-thinking Palestinian #magazine, that has been somewhat lost in the mists of time.

🇵🇸 The Cairo Agreement, Explained
In the late ’60s, especially after Israel won the Arab-Israeli (6-Day) War [#TheWarInJune] in 1967, a strong presence of Palestinian guerillas began to grow in #Lebanon, and the frequency of their operations against Israel from within Lebanese territories increased as well.
On the evening of December 28th, 1968, the Israeli military commenced “#OperationGift,” a #commando operation on #Beirut Airport that resulted in the destruction of 13 passenger planes and a total loss of $43.8 million.
The Israeli repeated retaliations partly aimed to provoke a response in the Lebanese against the militant Palestinian presence in their country.
However, at the time, a significant portion of the Lebanese population was in support of that presence, for reasons that include the prevailing sentiment in the region against the Israeli occupation of #Palestine and the sectarian rift that had begun to manifest between #Muslims and #Christians.
