Sociologist Rima Majed describes the "very dire" conditions in Lebanon as Israel continues to ramp up its attacks on the country. She says Israel is using the same tactics it employed in Gaza, "razing whole areas" and causing mass displacement.

Had an interview with Shireen Akram-Boshar for Spectre :)
this interview with Rima Majed (link in next tweet) has a lot of important detail in it, esp on how the 27 Nov ceasefire deal was the point the US forced Hizbollah and Iran into surrender, and everything else we're seeing has unfolded from that.
Bold truths from Rima Majed in this excellent interview: "a nuanced position that unequivocally supports the resistance against Israel, even if—or while—it opposes Hezbollah as a party is essential at this historical conjuncture."
