The attacks on Deir Mimas Monastery, Holy Family Parish, and Porphyrius Church highlight a disregard for the sanctity of religious spaces by the apartheid regime, and the lives of those who seek refuge within their walls.

    This historic site underwent several restorations, with the most recent reconstruction starting in 2008, funded by Qatar, following its total demolition during the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon.

    Anything funded by Qatar has me suspicious.

      Half of Canadian news media is owned by the same right-wing American corporation. You’re one to talk.

          Calling out western hypocrisy and racism is a grave sin.

      Qatar is not built on a stolen land and indigenous mass graves like Canada. I trust Qatar more than my own country

          I would if I could. I’m from Saudi Arabia though. Becoming Qatari would be a huge material upgrade, they even have outdoor air conditioning.
