"Professor Munira Khayyat is speaking from Beirut, where she's currently hosting over 30 displaced families as Israel expands its invasion of South #Lebanon...
she explains why the "peace" that followed World War II was only peace for the powerful — and permanent war for everyone else. From South Lebanon to #Gaza, from the Cold War to today, war has never been an aberration. It's a feature of the system.
• What is happening in Lebanon right now — 1.5 million displaced, bombardment of Beirut, occupation expanding
• Why Western theories of war treat it as an exception when it's a permanent condition for most of the world
• How #capitalism, #empire, and #settlercolonialism converge in the war on Lebanon
• The 22-year Israeli occupation and the roots of Lebanese #resistance
• Life as resistance — how people survive in conditions designed to make survival impossible
• Why borders drawn by Europeans still define who lives and who dies
