Terror struck large swathes of Lebanon yesterday as hundreds of explosions went off all over the country. Hezbollah members' pagers (the communication device of choice since Israel easily hacks into smartphones) suddenly exploded in their pockets.
This left nearly 3,000 people injured - 200 in critical condition - and killed at least 11 people, including an 8-year-old girl, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
This comes in the midst of a dangerous escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, nearly one year into the war on Gaza sparked by the October 7 attack.

This is a teaser for the final episode of our three-part series on Hamas for Kalam Shorts.
Hamas wrote what they refer to as a "covenant" in 1988 with some.. let's say problematic content.
In 2017 they released a policy document with wildly different values and ideas. So what do they actually believe in?

Today's guest, Amer Shomali, was appointed as the General Director of the Palestinian Museum on October 5, 2023. Two days later, we all know what happened.
Amer Shomali is a visual artist who directed one of the most innovative documentaries we have seen as of late. The Wanted 18 follows a number of "Israeli" cows gifted to the Palestinian town of Bayt Sahur.
Over the course of our conversation, we touch on the documentary I just mentioned, running a museum during a war, Amer’s upbring in Syria, the disillusionment he felt when he first saw Palestine as a teenager, Western romanticisation of Palestine and PLO children’s books.

On today's episode of Kalam Podcast Edgar speaks with the founder of Uncivilized Media, Salem Barahmeh. Uncivilized is a channel that tells stories about people and places that are unrepresented, silenced or erased. Very similar to what we do here at Kalam Podcast.
Edgar first met Salem on a cold, rainy day in Stockholm several years ago. At the time, he was working with PIPD, the Palestinian Institute for Public Diplomacy. He was traveling the Western World, lobbying for the Palestinian cause with politicians, diplomats and grassroots organisers.
Since then he has pivoted into storytelling and political education, catering largely to the masses on social media. And he’s been very successful. We’ll get back to Salem Barahmeh and his storytelling that connects stories of struggle from Northern Sweden to Palestine to Taiwan.
