The Weekend That Set The Middle East On Fire
<p>Last Saturday, the 28th of February, Israel and the United States launched an unprovoked attack against Iran. Iran responded by attacking both Israel and US bases in the region, as well as against neighbouring Gulf States. The next day Hezbollah fired rockets from Lebanon, triggering a vicious response by Israel, which greatly expanded the bombing of the country which it never ceased doing despite signing a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in late 2024. This is only a fraction of what is becoming clear as an open regional war.</p><p><br></p><p>The developments are dizzying. The horrors are on full display. And our hearts are incredibly heavy. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of the From The Periphery Podcast, Elia, Ayman, and israa, sit and compile all the most recent developments (up until March 2), and share their thoughts and feelings. </p><p>-- -- --</p><p><strong>Referenced Links: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.chuffed.org/project/171933-lebanon-emergency-relief" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Lebanon Grassroots Aid Network </a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/qmalebanon" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Queer Mutual Aid Lebanon</a></p><p>-- -- --</p><p><strong>Hosts:</strong></p><p>Ayman Makarem (<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aymanmak.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/politically_depressed/">Instagram</a>)</p><p>Elia Ayoub (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/eliajayoub/">Bluesky</a>,<a href="https://spore.social/@ayoub"> Mastadon</a>)</p><p>-- -- --</p><p>From The Periphery Podcast is supported by the community around us. <a href="https://fromtheperiphery.com/ftp-podcast/Patreon.com/fromtheperiphery">Please consider becoming a member of our Patreon today. </a>You not only help us make more episodes like this, but you get exclusive access to other content, an invitation to our monthly hangout, and direct contact with the rest of the team.</p>
