Marhaba.
I live in Lebanon, Aley district. Israeli airstrike targets are at proximity of my location. Beirut, and particularly Dahieh, is completely visible from my balcony. There are also refugees sheltered in my town.
Other things to know about me: I am a leftist, and a legal and political writer.
P.S. I will answer anything (as it is with AMA posts), not only issues pertaining to the recent events.
What do you believe is the most effective way for Westerners to be in solidarity the people of Lebanon and the resistance? Examples: educating their peers to support Lebanon and against Zionists, contributing money to specific organizations or fundraisers, making direct ties with front groups, engaging in direct action against equipment intended for Zionists, BDS, etc.
Please stay safe and as healthy as you can.
Ideally overthrowing the bourgeoisie in the West ;)
Any contribution for the anticolonial cause, be it material or immaterial, is cherished. I am afraid I cannot as of now recommend any organisation to donate to for aiding refugees (maybe the red cross and red cresent??) but I will look into it. And thank you for your wishes.
We’re trying ha ha but I think it will be some time!
Thank you for the information and your participation here
Red Cross aren’t terrible, but note some of their orgs are very cringe. Be aware which one you support and what they do internally in the country, too.
