Rania Khalek Recounts ‘Terrifying Massacres’ in Beirut w/ Vijay Prashad

Rania Khalek speaks with Vijay Prashad and Zoe Alexandra after escaping Beirut, recounting a “horrendously terrifying” day as Israeli airstrikes leveled residential buildings without warning, overwhelming hospitals and leaving scores dead and injured. She describes indiscriminate destruction across densely populated neighborhoods, challenging claims that the attacks targeted militants and warning that “nowhere is safe” in Lebanon. Khalek also warns this escalation could expand regionally, arguing that what’s being done to Lebanon today could soon be repeated against Iran — with U.S. backing.

“If the Israelis are doing this to Lebanon now, they will do it to Iran again, and so will the Americans.”
