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”..
Calling Netanyahu “Bibi” is like calling Hitler “Hittypants”.
Where word choice is concerned, I’ve been wondering whether one could stop using the word “Israel” altogether and always call it “the terrorist state” or “the occupation regime in Palestine”.
Is Hesbollah actually a signatory to this agreement? Why no DMZ on the Israeli side of the border.
To the first question: yes. This is leaving aside that the agreement may well not take a documentary form, and I’m not sure what the ratification process is on the Hezbollah side. But basically yes.

(Better to read Al Jazeera on something like this, because the mainstream media in the USA and in the USA’s bumsniffer countries will always report this kind of “news” as being about whether or not the Israelis are going to grant the fuzzywuzzy barbarians a deal.)
Brace for an Israeli assault on the West Bank.
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).
