1.2 million people have been forced from their homes and have become refugees. Each one is an individual human being, and they all had lives before this calamity. In many cases, their homes and all they possess have been destroyed. We met up with some of them, so they can tell you their stories.
This is the first of a series of short documentaries we intend to make about Israel’s attack on Lebanon
————————–
We have plans for a serious programme of written and video content to be produced in Lebanon between now and Christmas, but this will depend on our obtaining the money to do it.
We require to raise an absolute minimum of sixty thousand pounds, and preferably more. This is for transport, accommodation, interpretation, logistics and production.
Because some people wish an alternative to PayPal, I have set up new methods of payment including a GoFundMe appeal and a Patreon account.
I have now also started a Substack account if you wish to subscribe that way. The content will be the same as you get on this blog. Substack has the advantage of overcoming social media suppression by emailing you direct every time I post.

The Biden/Macron duet has just officially announced a 60 days ceasefire in Lebanon. As a welcome gift for Trump/Musk from Bibi ?
Diplomacy is complicated!
In any case, this should make reporting from Beirut far less difficult. We do need all the reporting we can get from there and also from Gaza.
“Bibi”..
Is Hesbollah actually a signatory to this agreement? Why no DMZ on the Israeli side of the border.
A pause for Lebanon by the perpetrator that is going to focus on waging war against palestinians and Iran instead, bragging about getting more US arms too by signing the deal! What a horrible man Netanyahu is, emoldended by the western rejection of ICC arrest he casually goes from nation to nation to destroy human lifes:
Netanyahu said Israel’s attacks on Lebanon had “set Hezbollah back by decades” and it was time to focus on Gaza and “intensify” pressure on Hamas.
He also said a ceasefire in Lebanon will allow Israel to “focus on the Iranian threat” and that the truce would speed up a delayed arms shipment from the United States.
The deal also speak of respecting UN resolution 1701 that call for disarment of groups like Hezbollah and also that the american n influence will expand (on behalf of Hezbollah/Iran influence): What a horrible deal:
The Lebanese army is expected to deploy in south Lebanon, with at least 5,000 troops set to patrol the border area along with an existing UN peacekeeping force, which will be boosted with French soldiers.
An international committee, including the US and France, will be established to supervise the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the last major war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006.
Arab and US officials told MEE the United States will deploy technical military advisers to Lebanon and provide additional funds to the Lebanese army.

Arab resistance groups, intelligence forces, arab lone gunmen etc someone need to stop this crazy Netanyahu and put him 6 feet deep that is the only way to stop the israeli onslaught.
Stunning Craig, I will watch the documentary tommorow, but I could already see what a high-quality professional production this is. Documentaries, from the ground, are worth so much.
Put a modest coin in the tin and informed by MP about your moving report (and will keep him and other people I know up to date with others as they come),
You might not get a BAFTA, but I hope your reports help to end Israeli war crimes (and encourage Western arms sanctions to prevent them).
I also hope your work helps to bring about the end of Israeli apartheid in favour of full democracy (helped by BDS).
