Midwife Dr. Ranin Al-Hashem of the city of Khiam shared a photo holding a newborn child from southern Lebanon too, and commented:

“After this war is over, I don’t want to see anything except every mother with her belly in front of her — pregnant.”

Her words are not merely a personal wish, but a statement about defiance, continuity, and resistance through life itself.

Here on our platform, we have often spoken about childbearing as a form of resistance — not in the narrow biological sense, but as an act of cultural, social, and historical preservation.

Those who fear our presence often try to weaken us not only through war, but through breaking our future.

And the future, quite simply, is born in the arms of mothers.
