Those with an iron will do not hide behind an iron dome. Yahya Sinwar lived, led and died with exemplary courage. Long live the resistance. From the River to the Sea 🇵🇸 will be free!

دل کے معاملات سے انجان تو نہ تھا
اس گھر کا فرد تھا کوئی مہمان تو نہ تھا
تھیں جن کے دَم سے رونقیں شہروں میں جا بسے
ورنہ ہمارا گاؤں یوں ویران تو نہ تھا
بانہوں میں جب لیا اسے نادان تھا ضرور
جب چھوڑ کر گیا مجھے نادان تو نہ تھا
کٹ تو گیا ہے کیسے کٹا یہ نہ پوچِھیے
یارو! سفر حیات کا آسان تو نہ تھا
نیلام گھر بنایا نہیں اپنی ذات کو
کمزور اس قدر میرا ایمان تو نہ تھا
رسماً ہی آ کے پوچھتا فاروقؔ حالِ دل
کچھ اس میں اس کی ذات کا نقصان تو نہ تھا

In a recent viral interview with British TV host Piers Morgan, Egyptian comedian and TV personality Bassem Youssef used dark humour to shed light on the ongoing Israel-Palestine war and the hardships faced by Palestinians
Except for the harassment part, please live and let live. QAU is possibly one f the very few institutions where students enjoy some sort freedom which is also gradually being curtailed though. 🙏🏼
The SC has upheld the Practice and Procedure Act.
(1)The CJP will no longer be ‘master of the roster’.
(2)Moving forward, there will be an appeal against all decisions under Article 184(3).
(3) Importantly, though, there will be no such appeal in cases already decided.
THE PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
1. The reactions to the latest hostility between Palestinians and the Israelis actually underscores why the conflict, which has been more than seven decades, would not find a solution.
2. Firstly, the responses that came from powerful Western nations and their apparatus, including their media, are hypocritical, bigoted and pathological.
3. Instead of addressing the conflict for what it actually is, they chose to continue with their deceptive narrative that it is an attack on Israel by terrorists – their blame being obviously against Hamas, the Hezbollah and Iran.
4. With that narrative, they stoke fear in the Western community, claiming that it is an attack on democracy and peace loving people.
5. With that, the US in particular feel justified to extend military support to Israel to “retaliate” against Palestinians attacks.
6. All these are far from the truth. Instead they are outright lies which had been perpetuated unashamedly by Western leaders and their media.
7. The truth is actually very simple.
8. For decades, the Israelis had been committing war crimes, massacres, genocide and unthinkable atrocities against the Palestinians.
9. These are not one-off acts but rather systematically conducted without respite throughout the seven decades.
10. Apart from Palestinian land which the Israelis acquired illegally through unilateral agreements and treaties with former occupiers of Palestine, the Israeli settlers have been forcefully seizing lands and farms belonging to Palestinians.
11. The Palestinians are chased out of their land and any attempt to seek some form of restitution from the Israeli authorities are met with violence backed most times by the Israeli security forces namely the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
12. The Palestinians, pushed to the corner, while Gaza was turned into an open air prison, attempted sporadic retaliations, which in turn were met with the full force of the IDF with weapons supplied by superpowers in particular the US.
13. This episode is not any different from previous retaliations except that probably this time around they are more focussed with a bit more assistance externally.
14. But the Western powers and their apparatus continue with their lies, with their narratives that the hostility is an act of terror committed by terrorists, ignoring the fact that it is retaliation by a people whose freedom and rights to their land had been forcefully taken away from them.
15. They refuse to view the hostility is committed by freedom fighters who are up against an injustice committed by an apartheid regime which had been perpetrating genocide on the Palestinians.
16. The Western powers and the US are party to apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity for as long as they support the heinous Israeli regime.
17. With that, any attempt towards finding a just and fair solution for the Palestinians becomes an exercise in futility.
18. In the meantime, the Israelis can be expected to carry out their genocide with impunity and with total disregard of international laws.

BBC doing what they do best: push Israel's narrative. However, @hzomlot did a brilliant job of challenging the hypocrisy of the BBC👍👍. One of the best interviews I’ve seen.
Please watch the video below 👇
Some key points made my Husam.
▪️Do not under-estimate people's will and desire to end occupation
▪️Israel was meant to do one thing: end its occupation settlement expansion
International Governments were meant to provide accountability - they never did
Anchor: do you condemn Hamas?
▪️Don't equate the occupier and the occupied. This is not a war of equals.
From its establishment, Israel has ONE military doctrine: to go and fight civilians
When it fights, it fights civilians.
The real conversation is how do we stop this vicious deadly cycle.
(Anchor again tries to get him to condemn)
▪️You have interviewed hundreds of Israeli officials; how many times have you shown Israel committing war crimes live on your cameras - do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? ..You don't. I'll answer for you - you DON'T.
▪️I refuse to answer your question because I refuse the premise of it.
At the heart of your question is misrepresentation.
▪️It's always the Palestinians who are expected to condemn themselves.
This is a political conflict and we have been denied our rights for a long time
The right starting point is to focus on the root causes.
▪️You call me here when Israelis are killed - did you call me here when many Palestinians are killed - 200 over the last few months?
▪️Do you invite me when there are provocations from Israelis elsewhere?
2M have been taken hostage by Israel (Gaza)
▪️We need to stop this rhetoric and give the people some ugly truths sometimes.
Anchor: What is the solution?
▪️Equal application if international law and resolutions - like you did with Ukraine.
▪️Full apply the rules of the League of Nations and the UN. Israel has been the exception for the last 75 years.
▪️Israel is an occupying force - it is mean to provide protection for the people under its occupation.
The Palestine question?
There is only Palestine.
There is no question.
The “escalating violence” is called resistance against a brutal occupier that routinely disregards laws of war & human rights in expanding its apartheid & dispossession of the Palestinian people.
