    1. Absolutely heartbreaking. So many senseless civilian deaths from this war. The generations of turtles she saved will sing her into the next world, hopefully a more peaceful one.

      “An Israeli airstrike hit her house earlier this month”.

      Purposefully targeting civilians who make a positive cultural impact on their victim countries.

      >The Lebanese marine activist Mona Khalil, who became a beloved figure in the country for a decades-long effort to protect a nesting site for turtles near her home, has died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike.

      >Khalil, 76, ran a sanctuary called the Orange House Project near the Mediterranean city of Tyre. She hosted volunteers in her house to clean and monitor a mile-long beach and welcomed tourists to stay and learn about conservation.

      >An Israeli airstrike hit her house earlier this month, severely wounding Khalil, who was moved to an intensive-care unit in Beirut before succumbing to her injuries on Friday, according to friends. Her assistant, an Ethiopian woman, suffered burns but was recovering.

      **And Israel insists they’re the GOOD GUYS in this??** Shame on anyone who supports this.

      Any form of zionism in 2026 is unacceptable and should be shunned from proper society.

      Just when I think I cannot hate them any more, I do. This happens daily,

      This is extremely tragic but a reoccurring story with Israel. Hamdan Ballal was an Oscar winner in 2024 for best documentary with “No Other Land” and he was lynched and attacked by both settlers and the IDF. Awdah Hathaleen who helped contribute to the documentary was shot by the IDF too. Israel love targeting innocents who contribute good.

      Israel needs to be stopped. How can so many countries stand by and watch these atrocities. I’m sick of this. The IDF & those that wield them are evil and immoral to the core & need to be punished

    8. Israel just defiles everything they touch/want. Those poor people who are literally just existing. Doing good work got traumatically killed just for living there. I’m so sick and tired of the “western” world just letting it happen and even funding it. It’s just a huge huge failure in humanity.

    9. israel loves to murder doctors, nurses, journalists, poets, authors, scientists, professors, architects, athletes, bakers, barbers, chefs, designers, electricians, farmers, fishermen, lawyers, plumbers, musicians, accountants, carpenters, and ecologists.

      I get the heebie jeebies when I see someone wave the Israeli flag with their whole chest. This is what you choose to support out loud? We all know what they’re doing and you still wave their flag?

    11. it will never be normalized that people are just getting blow up, obliterated in seconds, or by burning to death, in their homes.

      Because Israel is a lunatic rogue state which justifies any atrocity it perpetrates by saying the British/Americans/ French did worse in World War II.

      This is so on brand for Zionists, clutching pearls about one individual because she helped wildlife, but gloating about and mocking the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, many of whose bodies still lie in the rubble of Gaza.

    14. Pain is the point — this invasion of Lebanon 🇱🇧 is illegal!

      A genocide is a genocide is a genocide—no matter your perspective. There is NO such thing as a good genocide!

      So was she training turtles to fight for Hezbollah? /S

      In all seriousness, fuck the IDF, Netanyahu, and anyone else who salivates at this.
