216/ Voices from Lebanon w/ Lina Mounzer & Justin Salhani The Fire These Times

For episode 216, I am joined by Lebanese writer and translator Lina Mounzer as well as Lebanese journalist Justin Salhani to talk about the ongoing consequences of Israel's war on Lebanon. This is an intra-Lebanese conversation that is meant to give you an idea of the sort of discussions happening in Lebanon while contextualising as much as we could so that you come out of it better informed as well.โ โ โ โ Lebanon emergency reliefโ โ โ โ Episode links:The Markaz Review https://themarkaz.org Salhani's Al Jazeera profile https://www.aljazeera.com/author/justin_salhani_150211052541586 Israelโ€™s Digital Occupation (Salhani, The Dial) https://www.thedial.world/articles/news/israel-drone-warfare-lebanonDeath and Destruction from the Sky (Mounzer, Equator) https://www.equator.org/articles/death-and-destruction-from-the-sky-iii We live in a Time of Monsters (Mounzer, The Markaz) https://themarkaz.org/we-live-in-a-time-of-monsters/ My Links:Support: You can support my work withโ โ  โ a one-off or monthly donationโ โ โ  on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:โ โ  โ Registration is now open for May 2026โ โ โ Newsletter: Subscribe toโ  โ โ Hauntologiesโ โ โ โ โ โ โ Social Media: Iโ€™m onโ โ  โ Blueskyโ โ โ ,โ โ  โ Instagramโ โ โ  andโ โ  โ Mastodonโ โ โ Contact: To collaborate, reach out on โ โ โ ayoub@thefirethesetimes.comโ โ โ The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is onโ โ  Blueskyโ โ  andโ โ  Instagramโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ  โ โ โ Transcription: You can helpโ โ  โ Antidote Zineโ โ โ  transcribe TFTT episodesโ โ  hereโ โ Website: All episodes are archived โ โ on the websiteโ โ From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of โ โ โ From The Periphery Media Collectiveโ โ โ โ , which you can supportโ โ  on Patreonโ โ  and follow onโ โ  Blueskyโ โ โ , โ โ โ โ YouTubeโ โ โ โ  andโ โ โ  Instagramโ โ .Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:โ โ ย โ โ โ Politically Depressedโ โ โ โ โ Syria: The Inconvenient Revolutionโ โ ย โ โ From The Periphery Podcastโ โ ย โ โ The Mutual Aid Podcastโ โ โ My recent pieces972Mag:โ โ  โ Israelโ€™s renewed war on Lebanon is about more than just Hezbollahโ โ โ Crimethinc:โ โ  โ โ€œHistory Is Repeating Itselfโ€โ โ โ Good Law Project:โ โ  โ Trumpโ€™s illegal war puts all of us at riskโ โ โ Also, for Hauntologiesโ โ Israel's Lebanese Ghostsโ โ โ โ Iranian protesters don't owe us an explanationโ โ โ โ โ How Hezbollah Lost Everythingโ โ โ Recent Podcast interviewsIt Could Happen Here: Israel's Attack on LebanonThe Final Straw:โ โ  โ The US-Israeli War with Iran Spreads, Nuclear Weapons, Lebanon and Anti-Imperial Solidarityโ โ โ The Dugout:โ โ  โ Honoring Political Ghostsโ โ โ The Breakup Theory:โ โ  โ Episode 31 โ€“ Iran and the US-Israeli Death Drive EconomyCreditsElia Ayoub (host, producer, episode design), Justin Salhani and Lina Mounzer (guests), Rap and Revengeโ โ โ โ โ โ  (Music), โ โ Wenyi Gengโ โ โ โ โ โ  (TFTT theme design), Hisham Rifaiโ โ โ โ  (FTP theme design), โ โ Molly Crabappleโ โ โ โ โ โ โ  (FTP team profile pics) and Antidote Zineโ  (Transcriptions).
