The History of Zionist Attacks on Lebanon

Israel’s attacks on Lebanon did not begin in 1978 or 1982. They go back to 1948, when Israeli forces crossed into southern Lebanon during Operation Hiram. In Hula, Zionist occupation troops carried out a massacre whose reported death toll varies across sources, but it is widely recognized as one of the earliest mass killings committed by Israeli forces on Lebanese soil. Although Israeli forces withdrew after the 1949 armistice agreement with Lebanon, the ceasefire did not end the violence. Southern Lebanese villages continued to face raids, shelling, and repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

Where’s The 3rd Intifada?

The First Intifada was characterized by mass protests, general strikes, and boycotts. This wave of resistance continued for six years until the signing of the Oslo Accords, which began in September 1993 and introduced the prospect of Palestinian statehood. This raises the question of a Third Intifada. While the last phase of escalated genocide against the Gaza Strip has provoked millions around the world to educate themselves, mobilize, and stand in solidarity with Palestinians and the people of Gaza, the same scale and intensity of unified resistance across the Palestinian territories is noticeably absent in the current day context as compared to the First and Second Intifadas.

The Jordan ‘Israel’ Peace Deal

The Wadi ʻAraba Treaty, often referred to as a milestone for "peace," represents a profound betrayal of the Palestinian people and their quest for liberation. While it formalized diplomatic relations between Jordan and “Israel,” established agreements on land borders, and outlined resource allocations, it fundamentally served the interests of elites over the rights and aspirations of Palestinians. This so-called peace framework laid the groundwork for increased cooperation in trade, tourism, and security with a settler-colonial entity intent on perpetuating its occupation.
