Terrific roundtable featuring grad students studying in UAE discussing their experiences during the US-Israeli war on Iran. www.jadaliyya.com/Details/4747...
This is a must-read from @nasserelamine.bsky.social of where things stand in #Lebanon on various levels in the wake of the US-Iran MOU, and hits the nail on the head re what things will hinge on. A few highlights below! newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...
Watch and learn from @keshavarziana.bsky.social as he takes on the question of why do we find the US in continuous military confrontation in and over the Persian Gulf. www.jadaliyya.com/Details/4745...
Really important reporting by Will Christou for @theguardian.com on both Israeli demolitions of villages in south Lebanon and the identification of six multinational construction equipment conglomerates that may be aiding and abetting those war crimes. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
Not clear how long the term of 👇🏼US-Iran MOU will last given the track records of the US and Israel. But the meltdown over US-Iran MOU happening in Israeli political & military circles along with that of their US supporters is something to behold. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/17/m...
What does Trita Parsi think happened when The Free Press claimed State Dept. was “investigating” him for allegedly seeking to “undermine the US,” only to have the State Dept. deny any plans "to revoke [Parsi's] green card?" Read Parsi's take on Substack: tritaparsi.substack.com/p/so-they-tr...

Really appreciated Peter L’Official on how players with roots in the African diaspora helped create the world of soccer today. He does so with wonderful prose, deep research, and direct engagement with dynamics of anti-Blackness, racism, colonialism, and more. nymag.com/intelligence...
An invaluable source of documentation + analysis by Nicolas Sawaya & Michael Spagat, and a critical building block for other people's work. Lebanese government does not make it easy to know how many people Israel killed or injured, let alone who they are. pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/projects/...
Learned so much from my fellow co-panelists Hussein Chaabane, Lara Deeb, Nour Kilzi, & Amal Saad. Co-organized by Joumana Talhouk & Jad Baghdadi via @odid-qeh.bsky.social, check out: UNDERSTANDING ISRAEL’S WAR ON LEBANON: OCCUPATION, RESISTANCE, AND SOVEREIGNTY www.youtube.com/watch?v=satv...
Honoré de voir mon article sur le Hezbollah, les forces armées et la souveraineté au Liban traduit et publié en français par les bonnes personnes de la revue Contretemps. www.contretemps.eu/souverainete...
“Normalisation & disarmament appear together in this project because both are instruments for ending the structural conditions that once allowed resistance to survive, w/ the Lebanese government cast as domestic administrator of a US/Israeli-designed order." www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/leba...
Many problems w/ US-Israeli-Lebanese joint statement & “negotiations” that produced them. All are underpinned by false assumptions: (1) core problem is Hizballah; (2) Israeli aggression is merely response to Hizballah; (3) LAF is boxed out of role it otherwise capable of. 👇
مصدر عام | The Public SourceCalls to disarm Hezbollah rarely acknowledge Israel’s ongoing aggression. They also overlook the political and material constraints that have long prevented the Lebanese Armed Forces from assuming a defensive role. thepublicsource.org/lebanese-arm...
Terrific read by Asli Bali in @bostonreview.bsky.social : "today’s landscape is one in which the United States … remains powerful enough to break things but is increasingly unable to stabilize the aftermath of its rampage." www.bostonreview.net/articles/obj...
Martin Asser (20-year veteran of BBC) provides the definitive breakdown of BBC World’s Middle East editor Raffi Berg systematically adopts th official Israeli narrative. www.jadaliyya.com/Details/4742...
