Agreed 100%
Perhaps the most powerful emotion there is.
Reminds of another timeless quote (from Moulin Rouge is it?) and a personal fav:
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.

[Martin Luther King @MLK_quote]

“There is a final reason I think that Jesus says, ‘Love your enemies.’ It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

That this is not a global feminist issue is a sign of how damaged the discourse of feminism is

[Salamāsina (she/her) @salamasinamusic]

How can I make this more clear?

There is no war.

Palestine has no army.

Hamas wants to give back all the hostages.

Israel wants to murder every single Palestinian, half of which are children, almost 2 million ppl.

What's so hard to understand about that?

It's a genocide.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Keir Starmer & Sunak's unwillingness to call for an immediate ceasefire will never be forgotten, nor forgiven.

The UK Government & Labour Opposition should hang their heads in shame as we witness a massacre that is killing thousands of women & children in front of our very eyes.

[Ali Uzair Bhandari @aubhandari]

We have become a joke internationally. All to satisfy the egos of a few small men.

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

This is soul shattering.

All I see is... the youth giving up on 🇵🇰
The future of the country feeling absolutely cheated, defeated, dejected..

In hindsight, why did Quaid even bother? For who? We don't deserve this country.

[Amna Hayat @AmnaHayat]

Only to find out today that MQM won... MQM didnt even exist in their area...

16+ collective hours in a claustrophobic room with angry Pakistanis for..... MQM 😂😂😂😭😭😭

The comedy is really escaping me.

AWFUL organisation
My parents went to vote at 745am, got turned back because "this is not your polling station"

Went back to the SAME station at 11:30 which is when polling starting because the officer was LATE

Mom got home at 630pm (7 hrs ltr)
Dad got back at 830pm (9 hrs ltr)

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending you're concerned at all.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings.

Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post!

I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people.

The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide!
Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!

[Dr. Jennifer Cassidy @OxfordDiplomat]

Three months ago there were 36 hospitals in Gaza. This morning there are none. Zero. All have been bombed by Israel. The same country that claimed at the International Court of Justice that they would never attack a hospital.

The saddest short story I've ever read...💔

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

“I want to sleep next to you mama”

“Mama, I am so afraid”

“There’s nothing like your warmth”

Israel killed his mother.

[🇵🇸 🔻🍉 @halalmuslimgirl]

Still feels crazy and unreal that it’s been almost 3 consecutive months of israel completely annihilating Palestinians and nobody’s gotten them to stop

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

I'm touched by this beautiful quote:

“How foolish are we to rush our prayers,
when Allah is the owner of time”

[Amna Hayat @AmnaHayat]

I like that 2024 is starting on a Monday.

[shayma @roundthefurr]

how shameful it is that in the year of 2023, almost 2024, the world has allowed a whole GENOCIDE to go on for 82 days and counting.
