A big thank you to @elonmusk for allowing anti-Palestine vitriol to grace our timelines sans bar. Handed the #icj what they needed on a platinum platter!

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@mycustardpie Sally you are the best and we miss you so much!!! Here's hoping that we get to break bread together this year 🤗❤️

Mr. Hassim? When gender doesn't matter because the 'other' is so dehumanized #InternationalCourtofJustice

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

When you have to speed through your spiel like a used car salesperson so no one catches the sloppiness in disguise. #InternationalCourtofJustice

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

Khamas ate my homework! #InternationalCourtofJustice

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

OMG - Did Israeli's defense just address @HassimAdila as Mr. Hassim? Did I imagine hearing that? Zero respect & once again no surprises. #InternationalCourtofJustice

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

Thank you, once again, #SouthAfrica for reminding us all what standing up for humanity looks like. Your courage, heart, eloquence, and insistence on speaking up for what is right will never be forgotten.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim @CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

In tears listening to the case against Israel at the ICJ. Hearing, for the umpteenth time, of the horrors perpetrated slashes deep. So, so proud of South Africa. #ceasefirenow

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

Of all the farcical brainwashing attempts, this has to be the most ludicrous! To simply assume that all of the world spins on these products/companies is an assault on our intelligence. With that said, let me make it clear that I don't support the eradication of any innocents.

“From the river to the sea…”

Let’s talk about such a scenario in which Israel is erased.

7:00 AM: You wake up and try to unlock your iPhone to read email, but it won’t unlock.

Why? Because Face ID is Israeli tech. It was invented by Primesense, acquired by Apple.

7:30 AM: Before heading to work, you go into your garden to make sure your grass is being watered.

Nope, no drip irrigation. That’s an Israeli invention.

8:00 AM: You get into your car, and try to turn on Waze so you can know where there is traffic.

It won’t open because Waze is Israeli.

8:30 AM. On the way to work, you almost lose control of the car because it didn’t notify you that you were swerving out of your lane. Why?

Because Mobileye is based in Jerusalem.

9:00 AM: “Fine”, you say to yourself, “I don’t need Waze or Mobileye anyway. Soon my car will be autonomous.”

Nope. Innoviz is Israeli.

9:30 AM. You get to work and have your first meeting on Microsoft teams. It won’t work.

All the AI on teams? Built in Herzliya.

10:00 AM. You try to use your USB thumb drive on your computer. No go.

Invented by Dov Moran at Msystems, acquired by Sandisk.

11:00 AM: You need to access some classified information but it’s behind a firewall. Sorry, you can’t do anything about that.

Firewall technology? Invented in Israel.

12:00 PM: You look out your office window and the sky is so beautiful, you want to take a photo?

Nope. Smartphone dual lens technology was invented by Israeli company Corephotonics.

1:00 PM. You have a lot of work to do. You fire up your PC but it won’t boot up.

Is it running an Intel processor? Oh, yea, it was designed in Israel.

2:00 PM: You’re getting really frustrated. Nothing is working! So you turn to Google but even that won’t work.

Google builds many of its products in Tel Aviv.

3:00 PM: After a frustrating hour trying to get things to work, you decide to FaceTime your wife to vent. Why won’t it work?

Because voice over IP? Invented in Israel.

3:30 PM: You’re really losing patience so you go to your favorite instant messenger to speak to a friend.

Nope, instant messaging was invented in Israel.

4:00 PM. You give up and decide to focus on work exclusively. You have to work on building a website?

Sorry, Wix is Israeli. You can’t use it.

5:00 PM. You get a call from your doctor. He wants you to come in because he saw something troubling in your last check up. He needs to use the PillCam.

You have to inform him that’s a no go. It’s Israeli tech.

6:00 PM: Since your car is unreliable, you decide to take public transportation.

Your Moovit app won’t load for some reason. It’s Israeli.

6:30 PM: You decide to do some shopping for a new car because it’s time to go electric.

Sorry, nope. Better Place CEO Shai Agassi pioneered the infrastructure for electric cars in 2012.

7:00 PM: You get a call with bad news, your relative was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Unfortunately, you can’t help him because many of the leading cancer treatments were developed in Israel by companies like Novocure and Vascular Biogenics.

8:00 PM: You’ve had a hard day and you just want to chill out in front of your social media feeds but all of your feeds won’t load.

Meta, parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, has many offices in Israel.

9:00 PM: A late dinner. You want to prepare alternative meats or dairy products.

You can’t find them in the supermarket because Redefine Meat and Remilk are Israeli startups.

10:30 PM: You decide to read your book. You can’t find your glasses anywhere.

That’s because you bought them on GlassesUSA, an Israeli company.

11:00 PM: Your last resort, watching some TV. Your Samsung TV wont turn on!

Well, that’s because Samsung has many offices in Israel including Samsung Next, a fund that invests in tech.

You go to sleep and hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Here, try this new rhyme instead: “From the river to the sea, if Israel is gone, what will be with me?!”

Listen to this Israeli man🇮🇱

@ShezKay @shreyadhoundial I really don't want to label anyone because fanatics, sadly, exist everywhere. Fanatics on both sides are precisely why we find ourselves witnessing the unfolding horror.

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

The way @shreyadhoundial stood up for herself & her views is just brilliant. Obfuscating the horrific crimes being perpetuated by being presumptuous & belligerent about the colors of a saree is beyond ludicrous!!!!

My Dear Departed Grandmother's Saree Upset My Guest From #Israel This Evening. For Once I Was At A Loss Of Words. 👇

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@shreyadhoundial He literally chose to hide behind your petticoat to avoid talking about the issues that really matter. Kudos to you for not being browbeaten and for standing up to his belligerence with such elegant grace.

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@mita56 Completely agree! Especially at restaurants where plastic bottles of water are served, I would love to have the option of filtered water. Alternatively, I don't mind carrying my own bottle and for a small fee filling it up at a water station placed inside the restaurant!

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@DubaiNameShame @YoAuntyNational The article mentions that his family in India requested for the investigation and the results were communicated through the Indian embassy in KSA. Regardless, anyone spreading hate like this is awful.

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@DubaiNameShame This is honestly so despicable! I do not understand how religious fervor always trumps basic humanity.

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

@asmaalizain Just doesn't make sense, though!

[Farida Ahmed @FaridaA]

'Senior reporter' from a leading #uaenews publication tells me that the spelling of my name has been changed as it is the newspaper's norm. Not only is this an insult to my intelligence (and name) but the fact that they have not yet apologized is beyond appalling.
