The IDF has announced that an Israeli deputy commander of a company in Battalion 7008 was killed in combat during the invasion of southern Lebanon.

The "Pirates of the Mediterranean" Yesterday and Today

Translated from the Instagram page @Orientalidades:

A Lebanese protester holds a sign reading "Pirates of the Mediterranean" and the Star of David, in reference to the State of Israel, during a protest in front of Al-Jazeera offices in Beirut on February 5, 2009. The protest was against Israel's interception of a Lebanese ship carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, activists, and journalists. The Lebanese cargo ship, attempting to deliver aid to Gaza in defiance of the blockade, docked at the Israeli port of Ashdod under Israeli naval escort after being intercepted at sea. Among the eight people aboard the "Brotherhood Ship" was the emeritus Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hilarion Capucci, who left Jerusalem in the 1970s after serving time in an Israeli prison for his involvement with the Palestinian resistance.

The image of the 2009 Beirut protest remains relevant because Israel continues to intercept humanitarian flotillas attempting to break the Gaza blockade. In recent years, aid ships carrying activists and journalists have once again been surrounded by the Israeli Navy, resulting in detentions, assaults, destruction of equipment, and violent boarding in international waters. Recent scenes reinforce the perception of continuity between the former "Brotherhood Ship" and the current humanitarian missions prevented from reaching Gaza. Israel has maintained a severe blockade on Palestinian territory for almost twenty years, and the humanitarian situation in the enclave has drastically worsened since the beginning of the current war.

Anyone else grew up wishing they had more “white” traits?

As a kid I’d always hate that I got darker in the summer,
And how I had really thick dark hair and dark eyes.
I had always wished I could’ve been like my brother (mom is Lebanese dad is white)
Cause he has green eyes, light brown hair, freckles,
And he is super pale.
I always felt jealous of other people with more white traits growing up. And even now at 19,
I still wish I had paler skin or blue eyes.
I avoid sunlight and use sunscreen to try to avoid getting tan.
And at points I’ve thought about getting contact lenses so I could have lighter eyes.
As a guy, I always was jealous of the guys with lighter and finer body hair. While I have extremely thick and dark body hair everywhere.
But at the same time, I’m told I’m “white passing” to a degree. But in white spaces I don’t fit in.
And in Lebanese/west Asian spaces, I also don’t fit in. I feel too white to be Lebanese, but too Lebanese to be white. And sometimes it’s really hard.

Is Iran vs Trump and Israel a modern day David vs Goliath story?

  1. Iran went against the two largest Air Force’s in the world

  2. Iran went against the largest military as the most sanctioned country on earth for decades

  3. Weeks prior Mossad and Trump admitted to giving violent rioters weapons to break the social order and directed them to attack police stations.

  4. Iran was able to lock onto and target F-35 Lightnings a feat that no other country on earth did

  5. Iran was 1 versing a ton of countries. France had an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean helping out, Cyprus and the UK were helping out, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain all allowed their countries to be used to launch attacks and opened up their air space.

  6. Iran was caught by a sucker punch and surprise attack in the middle of negotiations

And yet they’ve held it together and anyone outside the U.S. or Israel is writing that Iran has emerged as a greater power and is better off today having defended and prevented Trump from achieving any of his five strategic objectives.

This is a modern day David versus Goliath story

Why are lebanese People so good with money?

I need to ask something because I’ve genuinely noticed this
Why are Lebanese people so good with money? Like seriously, almost every Lebanese person I’ve met seems to know how to make money, multiply it, invest it, or at least manage it really well.
Is it something cultural? Family mindset? Business mentality? What do you think makes Lebanese people so financially smart? And what tips would you personally give someone who wants to learn that mindset?
Hope you dont get me wrong 🥹

Burek

Hello,

I have been bitten by the Burek bug. Specifically the cheese. The version I had was smooth, custard, right amount of cheese. The next day when I warmed it up it got chewy which I loved even more. Now I tried to make it myself with Turkish white cheese and mozzarella and ended up with salty, sour, sharp edges baked something. Please help a friend out.
What is the best cheese to get the refined smooth flavor, and chewy texture. If it is feta cheese then which kind? I need the nuanced recipe please.

Thank you.
