Never been to the opera before?
Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @MetOpera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to https://t.co/LpKzEcL0V5 to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.
@karim_h89 I’m curious to see what the SSNP would look like if HA ended up disarming. I highly doubt they’d disappear or change like the Lebanese Baath Party.
I honeslty have no clue. It survived the defeat of the Axis powers, kinda made its peace with Arabism, then HA… very curious
@ArianeElmas@karim_h89 I mean, not really, and not designed by law. Jradeh was always an independent and was elected on the thawra list alongside Firas Hamdan, also an independent.
13 pro-thawra MPs were elected in 2022 out of 128. And many other independents, like Mouawad, Makhzoumi etc.
I was so prepared to hate on this mom, and for the first quarter of the article, I did. But by the end I believe this woman is a hero. These days, no one believes that upholding their values should require sacrifices and this woman put everything on the line twice: once when she put her kid in a predominantly black school and a second time when she admitted she was wrong and let her daughter decide what highschool she wanted to attend. I really believe this woman left the world a better place because of her choices (especially her advocacy at the disadvantaged schools her daughter attended) and very few people can say that
Nikole Hannah-Jones and I will likely never see eye to eye politically, but the more I think about this article, the more I respect it. She wrote something that directly undermines her own project because her daughter told her she was hurt.
That is an act of love.
هيدا المشهد مهين لضحايا البيجرز قبل غيرن.
يعني بذكرى تفجيرات البيجرز حيث فقد اشخاص مع عائلاتهن ونسائهن واطفالهن عيونهن واصابعهن وحياتهم وفي جرحى عم يتعايشوا مع اعاقات دائمة منشوف هالمشهد: نساء معصوبة عيونهن وشب عم يلقنهن : "أرضيت يا رب خذ حتى ترضى"..
ما حدا يقلي ايمان او البحث عن عزاء بالدين..
في مين عم يستثمر بتحويل المأساة لوسيلة ترويض للضحايا.. الشب واقف يقلهن إنو "أولادنا وبيوتنا وحياتنا واعراضنا فدا…"
فدا شو وفدا مين ومين أخذ القرار بأنه عيون الناس وبيوتهم وأرزاقهم ثمن مقبول ليبقى السلاح ويبقى حزب الله؟؟..
فظيع هالمشهد.. هو إلغاء تام لحق الضحية ��السؤال ..
مين أخذ القرار وليش و صلنا لهون وهل كان فينا نتفادى هالخسارات يستعاض عنها بتلقين "أرضيت يا رب … خذ حتى ترضى"..
عنجد؟؟ تحديدا البيجرز اللي هي فضيحة بأنو حزب الله مخروق واشترى اجهزة من الموساد ودفع حقها وعناصره وعيلهن كانوا ضحاياها..
بعد كل هالشي بينقال للضحايا يكرروا جملة "خذ حتى ترضى"..
بدل ما نسأل كيف منحميهن بدنال نقنعهن انو الخسارة كانت واجب والسؤال خيانة؟؟
مخزي ومعيب ولا انساني ..
🟥🟥🟥 تضليل وكذب ما بعده كذب!
تضليل برعاية منصة #Beirut_Politics المموّلة من نائبة الصدفة والتضليل #بولا_يعقوبيان وزوجها البنكرجي #وهبي_تماري.
كبير المضللين منير يونس، مستضيف المدعو محمد فريدة، و المضحك عم يقول عنه دكتور كمان!
بعد طرح بيع الذهب للمساهمة في رد أموال المودعين من قبل عدة جهات، يأتي المدعو فريدة ليقول إن الذهب «مش ملك مصرف لبنان»!
❗️الحقيقة القانونية والمحاسبية واضحة:
الذهب هو جزء من أصول واحتياطيات مصرف لبنان، وهو مُدرج رسميًا في ميزانية مصرف لبنان تحت بند Gold ضمن Assets. ومصرف لبنان نفسه ينشر بياناته الرسمية ويصنّف الذهب ضمن ميزانيته، وقد بلغت القيمة المسجّلة/المقوّمة لاحتياطي الذهب مستويات ضخمة وفق البيانات الرسمية للمصرف.
فكيف يُقال للمودعين إن الذهب «ليس ملك مصرف لبنان» بينما مصرف لبنان نفسه يُدرجه ضمن أصول ميزانيته؟
المطلوب من أصحاب هذه ال��صريحات أن يقدّموا النص القانوني الصريح والمستند المحاسبي الذي يثبت كلامهم، بدل إطلاق عبارات مضللة أمام الرأي العام.
المشكلة ليست في الذهب، بل في محا��لة إقناع المودعين بأن أصول مصرف لبنان لا علاقة لها بمعالجة الخسائر، فيما المطلوب هو تحديد المسؤوليات القانونية والمالية ودفع كل طرف ديونه الدولة و مصرف لبنان و المصارف وفق القانون، بدل تحميل المودعين وحدهم ثمن الانهيار.

🟥🟥🟥 بهيدي المقابلة، نائبة الصدفة والتضليل #بولا_يعقوبيان عم تدافع عن خطة الحكومة بشراسة، وعم تقول إنو منيح يعطوا المودعين 2000 دولار، يجمعوا ويشتروا تكسي ويشتغلوا عليها، وإنو السندات على 10 و20 سنة عادي والمودعين بينطروا.
🟥🟥🟥 بس سؤال لـ #بولا_يعقوبيان:
المودع عصام حاطوم، عمره 88 سنة، اشتغل 50 سنة بأميركا وجمع 600 ألف دولار حتى يعيش هو وعيلته بكرامة، بدولة ما بتقدّم شي لمواطنيها.
بدك ياه ينطر 10 سنوات، ب��د ما نطر 7 سنوات؟ وبدك ياه يقبل بسند مجهول المصير؟
يا بولا، اعتبري إنو هيدا الزلمة بيّك. بتقبلي يصير فيه هيك؟ بتقبلي يتبهدل بآخر عمره، بعد ما تعب كل حياته حتى يأمّن حياة كريمة إلو ولعيلته؟
إذا عندك جواب، جاوبي هيدا المودع وجاوي الشعب.
🟥🟥🟥 وفوق كل شي، يا #بولا_يعقوبيان، عم تهاجمي تحركات المودعين عبر إعلام ممول من زوجك البنكرجي #وهبي_تماري.
🟥🟥🟥 المودعون مش أرقام، وودائعهم مش وجهة نظر، وحقوقهم ما بتتأجل لعشر وعشرين سنة.
@PaulaYacoubian
@karim_h89 It was meant to be launched before the war happened! In september 1939, to directly compete with the Mostra. But obviouly these plans fell apart.
@AhmadFPR Honestly I despise HA as much as anyone, Tayyouneh was criminal, but it seems that by opposing the blast investigation HA was protecting its cronies and allies, not itself.
Which makes it way worse
@AhmadFPR He said on tv after the blast that he learned about the ammonium nitrate weeks before it blew up. Insane thing to reveal publicly, especially since Aoun was an artillery officer who definitely understood ammonium nitrate.
@karim_h89 I’ll be frank I don’t understand about 50-60% of what you just said, and by extension the Navier-Stokes thing in general.
Did mathematicians find the AI-generated proof solid? Because this seems like something that needs peer review
A website called “Reverse Canary Mission,” run by non-Palestinians who call themselves “pro-Palestine,” has created a profile about me, falsely branding me a “Zionist” because of my work exposing Hamas’s crimes against Palestinian and Israeli civilians.
What is particularly revealing is that they acknowledge my work documenting Israeli settler terrorism and the killing of Palestinians in the West Bank. Their problem with me is that I also condemn Hamas, describe its crimes as terrorism and war crimes, and advocate for a two-state solution.
Well, both are true, and I have absolutely no problem saying so.
I will continue exposing Hamas’s crimes against Palestinian and Israeli civilians, just as I will continue exposing settler terrorism and abuses committed by Israeli occupation forces. And yes, I still believe in a two-state solution: an independent Palestinian state living side by side with Israel.
This is yet another example of performative activists in the West trying to dictate to Palestinians what we are allowed to believe and what our freedom is supposed to look like. They risk nothing and sacrifice nothing, yet they are perfectly comfortable watching Palestinians continue to pay the price for their romanticized “resistance” fantasies.
And falsely branding Palestinians as “Zionists” for speaking against Hamas is not solidarity. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence Palestinian voices that refuse to conform to their ideology.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: one of my life’s missions is to destroy the narrative Hamas has built around itself. Hamas has hijacked the suffering of our people and sold its ideology to activists thousands of miles away—many of whom do not even speak Arabic or bother listening to what Palestinians themselves have to say about Hamas.
I will not stop speaking out until Hamas and its armed rule are gone from Palestinian life and become part of our past. And I will fight just as relentlessly against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, settler terrorism, and the abuses committed against Palestinians.
I have already been threatened by those "Pro Palestine " activists over this work, including threats of harm against me here in the United States. But intimidation will not determine what I say or what I believe.
Advocating for Palestinian human rights does not require silence about Hamas. And solidarity with Palestinians does not require us to surrender our own voices to ideological activists in the West.
@karim_h89 I don’t think we need different people though, just pressure applied to the current PM and president. With enough pressure to fulfill what they were elected on, they might end up forcing the LAF to do what they want.
But the LAF itseld ain’t the issue.
@karim_h89 The PM doesn’t seem to know how to work in a team tbf. The way he handled the “financial gap law” fiasco (which is deeply unfair to depositors too), his public blowout against Michel Menassa (pointless since the amnesty law already had enough votes to pass)…
