This article offers a critical analysis of narratives of suffering in Lebanon, taking the concept of re-humanization as a central mode of healing from Israeli violence. Its fundamental argument is that, while Israeli violence in Lebanon and Palestine may not be identical, it is important to link these lived experiences as products of the same Israeli settler colonial violence. The article explores the psychological landscapes in Lebanon by drawing on ethnographic and archival research on humanitarian psychiatry and the Israeli wars. It reviews the discourse of humanitarian psychiatry in Lebanon and the problems behind the binary of trauma and sumud, using the example of the 1982 Israeli invasion and subsequent debates on psychological trauma and sumud practices. The article offers several reflections, calling for a shift away from the centrality of suffering as a site of humanity and psychopolitical healing. It concludes by exploring alternative ways of surviving and healing from Israeli violence.
