"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."

In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza.

Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.

While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition.

Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.

She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.

I know some of my American, Australian, Canadian friends have been asking for the full Louis Theroux documentary on the settlers.

I've shared it before, but here it is again.

Every country who Trump gave a tariff hike threat, has responded. Either by reciprocal tariff hike threat or some sort of signal to fight the trade war

We are waiting for

-Einstein minister’s gravity statement
-Vishwaguru to get free from forest duty

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Look at what Israel is still doing in north Gaza with barely any media coverage and zero condemnation from Western leaders.

This is not war, it’s annihilation.

1/Was walking around Ulsoor Lake, when I saw a signboard saying "Tera Tera" next to the Gurudwara

Intrigued, I walked in

Turns out it is a social initiative where underprivileged people can buy used clothes at Rs 13 per item

That's why Tera-Tera (13-13) 🥹

"When a journalist becomes a spreader of hate and lies, instigator of mob lynching, cheerleader for the govt, it becomes an instrument to kill democracy. When hundreds of news channels repeat the same, They become a weapon to kill democracy. Most of the Indian Mainstream media is a disgrace to democracy and humanity. Whenever you get a chance, please support real journalism, You will get a good democracy"

According to HT, "As per the source, the MP-elect from Mandi was slapped at security check for pushing the security personnel after the actor-politician refused to put her phone in the tray during security check. Kangana Ranaut left for Delhi at 3 pm by a Vistara flight".
Another unverified claim on Social Media is, she slapped her because of her statement about the farmers' agitation.
Hope CIFS clarifies the reason.

This should be on mainstream media headlines. Alas, there’s more important news – PM “meditating” in Kanyakumari.

That's Mariyappan Thangavelu. Just few hours back he won India's 🇮🇳 first ever Gold Medal in High Jump at World Para Athletics. Media won't share stories of such incredible athletes. But should know more about him.

At the age of 5, he met with an accident where a drunk bus driver ran over his right leg that permanently disabled his knee. His school physical education teacher encouraged him to try high jump and he excelled at it.

Comes from a humble background, he was was raised by a single mother working as a daily wage labourer and vegetable seller to support the family.

Despite this setback, he completed his schooling and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration.

At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, he won the gold medal for India. In 2020 Tokyo Paralympics he could have won the gold again but the rains made the conditions difficand settled for a silver.

He is a Padma Shri and Arjuna Award winner. And won the Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award in 2020 which is India's highest sporting honor.

He used all his prize money to buy a paddy field for his mother and built a better house for his family.

Mariyappan believes that his right deformed big toe helps him to get the leap. “This is what gives me leverage when I jump,” he says. “It is my God.”

India is a country of amazing sporting talent. But we also need to be a country to celebrate all sports athletes.
Everyone doesn't get brand deals and sponsors. The only fuel for these athletes is their grit and determination. Our only job is to cheer them and share their stories.

Damn! Now he tells me that "interrogating the government" is for activists, not journalists.

This Israeli spokesperson was asked a simple question:

How many civilians does Israel estimate it's killed in Gaza?

His response? To go blank and silently stare at the camera.
