Beirut-based journalist Séamus Malekafzali reports back on Lebanon where he was living until a few days ago. He discusses Israel’s terrorism against the people of Lebanon, the media’s terrible “joyful” coverage of it and reacts to Senator John Fetterman’s disgusting comments on it. “I had heard about this clip but I didn't know that he included the strike in South Beirut,” says Séamus, which killed entire families, buried them under the rubble. But it doesn't matter [to him]. It's against “the bad guys.” He was for absolutely everything that happened in Gaza. Why would he change his opinion here?”
