"These wars are just part of this acceleration and expansion of colonialism"

Journalist and author Antoun Issa's new book Rebirth: A Love Story From the Depths of War has just been released. The book is about his mother's experiences of her time in Beirut in 1974 during the Lebanese Civil War and her migration to Australia.

On the menu: Ashta without rice, burnt chicken drumsticks, and cheesecake with chocolate. 

Sides include: food as a tool of communication, coming out to the family, and a sprinkle of Canaanite mythology.  

Antoun's social cause is free access to quality healthcare and education for all. It helps marginalised communities, it helps the millions struggling with cost of living and housing, it helps the poorest among us, it helps the elderly, it helps children, it helps parents, it helps First Nations communities, it helps those with serious mental health issues. It provides a foundation for a quality of living that every human being has the right to, which then feeds into healthy, productive and happier communities.
