The '82 Israeli Siege of Beirut: Similarities and Differences with Gaza Today w/ Justin Salhani (E155)

For episode 155, Ayman sits with Beirut-based journalist and friend of the show, Justin Salhani, to talk about his recent essay for Al-Jazeera. Expanding on the essay, the two talk about parallels between the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and siege of Beirut and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As two children of survivors of the '82 siege, their conversation moves between political/military analysis and discussions of memory and narratives as tools of agency. Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠⁠Episode Credits:Hosts: Ayman MakaremProducer: Ayman MakaremGuest: Justin SalhaniMusic: ⁠Rap and Revenge⁠Sound editor: Ayman MakaremEpisode designer: Elia J.
