@Shoshana51728 Then the person who tweeted about the errors in Curtis's book turned it into an ideological discourse even more extreme than the book's thesis itself.

@shaig @ismailhoush @RoKhanna Ismail won this round, but the strongest argument has not yet been stated. The real question is not whose ancient ancestors came 1st. Neither historical names nor DNA can give any modern people an exclusive right to erase another people living on the same land.

Don Quixote entered the trend to stab a beast,
only to discover too late that every reply was a free meal.

Some trends are not defeated with a spear,
but with one button: mute notifications.

Not every #trend is a battle,
&not every engagement is victory.

[Riyadh Philosophy @Riyadh_Wisdom]

The open idea says: Test me.
The closed idea says: Test me & you’re an agent.
Thought ends; betrayal certificates begin.
When an idea becomes refuge, identity, and dignity, criticism is no longer debate; it feels like an attack on life, image, & belonging.

A gap between the tools of two ages.

The thinker and the think tank are not operating with AI logic, where readers can expose manipulation in minutes.

They still operate like old print journalism:
a simple binary, then a stupid, biased conclusion.

Don Quixote entered as a knight,
found the mic was no platform,
but a clown’s bell.

Some platforms do not give #voice;
they rent impulse with praise.

Not every #mic is a platform,
not every praise is recognition,
and not every “knight” is meant to win.

@ewong @nytimes Choosing a poor angle for a political figure is not innocent aesthetics; it is a visual framing tool that makes readers receive news through a preconceived judgment aligned with the headline, language, and context.

It becomes part of the news ideology & undermines credibility.

#Germany’s defeat is not merely the exit of a great team; it is a lesson that history does not play matches on behalf of its owners.
In football, as in life: whoever lives on his name may one day wake up to a result that does not recognize names.

@eab_abd @Kasparov63 Wisdom and the wise, do not mock other people’s sacred beliefs, lest their own sacred beliefs be treated with contempt.

Those who mock others’ sacred beliefs while demanding respect for their own are not practicing courage or wit; they are practicing moral inconsistency.

[Riyadh | Independent @Sa_Jkr]

@eab_abd @Kasparov63 “Allah” is not a different deity. It is simply the Arabic word for God, used by Muslims and Arab Christians alike.

So yes, he mocked God, not a separate “Muslim god.”

Your joke only exposed your ignorance.

Meanwhile in America…
An economics professor at Emory University is violently body-slammed to the ground and zip-tied by police for protesting the genocide in Gaza.
She keeps telling them:
“I am a professor. I am a professor of economics.”
This is what happens when you speak out in the “land of the free.”

@HillelNeuer If the funding was disclosed and handled under UN procedures, then the issue is transparency and conflict-of-interest safeguards — not automatic guilt.

Turning declared funding into “Saudi corruption” is not oversight. It is ideological framing.
