Imagine for a second reading the news that Israel, in a cold-bloodied strike murdered David Attenborough or Gerald Durrell, the creator of the Wildlife Conservation Trust which work saved many species from extinction. Wouldn’t that get you boiling with anger?!
The news from Marwa Osman’s TG channel that you are about to read is precisely of that magnitude!
They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognisable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon’s southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life’s work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon’s coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.
Zionism – the Israeli flavour of Nazism – must be exterminated with the same kind extreme of prejudice with which Soviet Army exterminate German Nazism, with the subsequent denazification of the Israeli Jews and their Zionist masters in the USA, as what was applied in the Eastern part of Germany. (As we know from history, in the Western part of Germany, USA was busy with re-nazifying the sate.)
Death to Fascism!
Nazi Israel, Nazi Ukraine, Nazi Britain, Nazi USA – all must meet the same end as Nazi Germany once did in May 1945!
As Marwa Osman writes in another post, “Israel” is not some vulnerable state that emerged organically in the region. It is a settler colonial project established under British patronage and sustained for decades by unprecedented Western political, military, and financial support, enabling nearly eight decades of occupation, displacement, war and ethnic cleansing, which evetually resulted in a Gaza genocide.
Second, if we’re talking about a “tiny country that has spent decades facing enemies committed to its destruction,” that description fits Lebanon far better than the Israeli entity. Lebanon has endured repeated invasions, occupations, massacres, bombardments, assassinations, and territorial violations at the hands of a heavily armed military power. The evidence is not hypothetical; it is documented in photographs, videos, UN reports, and historical records.
And here is the question that supporters of “Israel” never seem willing to answer:
If “Israel” has the right to treat the protection of its citizens as its highest obligation, why does the Resistance in Jabal Amel not have the same right to protect the people of South Lebanon, especially when the Lebanese state historically lacked the means to defend them from repeated invasions and occupation?
Look at the map.
Who invaded whom?
Who crossed internationally recognised borders?
Who bombed villages, cities, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure?
Who advanced tens of kilometers into whose territory?
And for what purpose?
The irony is that we are constantly asked to understand Israel’s “security concerns” while being told to ignore Lebanon’s lived experience of invasion, occupation, and destruction.
A population defending its land from a foreign military incursion is not the anomaly in this story. The anomaly is expecting them not to resist.
