Message from Electronic Intifada

 Last week, Israel and Lebanese authorities agreed to extend by 45 days a so-called ceasefire that was supposed to take effect in mid-April, but in practice never has.

Israel never stopped attacking Lebanon and occupying parts of its territory, carrying out near-daily massacres including one in the village of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr on Tuesday that killed at least 12 people in a single house, at least three of them children.

The death toll from Israeli attacks across the country since 2 March has now passed 3,000, including more than 800 people killed since the start of the so-called ceasefire.

More than a million people are still displaced and in recent days another 100,000 were forced to flee their homes.

On today’s program we will speak with Roqayah Chamseddine. She is a southern Lebanese researcher and reporter and co-host of the Delete Your Account Podcast. She is a media associate at The Cradle and is currently forcibly displaced from the Dahiyeh, Beirut’s southern suburb.

Jon Elmer will cover week 11 of the battle in South Lebanon and report on the assassination of the Qassam Brigades leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad in Gaza City.

Nora Barrows-Friedman will provide an update on news from across Palestine, and Ali Abunimah will talk about Israel’s latest effort to revive the 7 October mass rapes hoax.

Please join Jon, Nora, Ali, Tamara Nassar and Asa Winstanley for all this and more.
