years of being the target of genocide has not made us genocidal, no matter what motives others ascribe to us. Our years of trauma have not hardened us to the trauma of others. But it has strengthened our resolve to stand up for every soul in this nation.

Many many years ago, I learnt Hebrew out of curiosity, and in a bid to penetrate into a world that I once thought was evil and conspiring against Arabs and Muslims. Once in, I was surprised how wrong I was, how wrong almost every Arab and Muslim around me was.
These days, I watch Hebrew networks (and Arabic ones). There is a lot of Israeli pain over those who were killed on 10/7, agony of those who survived, and anxiety over those who are held hostage by Hamas. A lot of tears, now mixing with tears over fallen soldiers fighting in Gaza.
The thing about all this Israeli pain is that it is almost exclusively in Hebrew. The world does not see Israelis hurt, does not hear them cry. The world sees Israel as fighter jets raining death to punish those who killed them from 15000 feet above ground. The world only sees and hears pain coming from Gaza, and the world always takes the side of the underdog, even when the underdog is guilty. One billion Muslims certainly have a much louder voice than 20 million Jews, and the world will always blame Israel, even when Palestinians started the carnage.
And that's exactly why Israelis are fighting the fight of their lives. They understand that the world is an unfair place, and that they cannot rely on non-existent international justice or biased global opinion.
I wish I had a magic wand to make fellow Arabs, and the rest of the world, see what I see. There will never be peace without justice, and using our numbers (Muslims) to impose our narrative is one way to try to beat Israel, but not the way to peace. My voice will dissent. I want peace, and peace is incumbent on winning the trust of those we want to live in peace with, not keeping on instigating the world against them.

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

Sorrow and anger are two different feelings. Like everyone, I'm sad for Palestinian loss of life. But unlike some Arabs and Palestinians, I'm angry at #Hamas -- not #Israel -- for this loss. I'm also sad for the loss of Israeli lives, and I blame Hamas too for it.
Being angry at Hamas does not mean hating Palestinians or not caring for their losses. It means I wish Palestinians understand that their problem is Hamas, without which the road to peace with Israel and a better future for all becomes much more probable, even if not guaranteed.
Peace is not the finish line. It's the beginning of a different lifestyle. It is the decision that Arabs and Israelis can solve their disagreements through dialogue and in amicable ways, without hatred, violence or bloodshed.
The debate over history can continue. History is what it is, history, and there is nothing we can do to change it or correct it. Most of us were not in it, and there is no reason we should inherit mistakes made in the past or animosities left behind. As we say in English "it is history," or like was say in Arabic "yalli fat, mat (what happened in the past, died)."
So let history be history. Let's support the removal of the main obstacle to peace, Hamas, turn the page, and look forward. It did not have to be like this, but Hamas made it like this. It does not have to remain like this, moving forward.
Peace and love to all, Israelis, Palestinians and the rest of the Arabs.

This genocidal event turned on the trauma genes that Jews carry quietly from the holocaust, centuries of pogroms, inquisitions, and exiles. https://t.co/WRygS0sS9X

As a Muslim CEO in tech, let me just say this:

Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Murdering innocent civilians (children, babies, families asleep in their homes) goes against every single teaching of the Qur'an.

May they all rot in Hell.

I pray for peace and innocent lives to be spared as Israel completes this task. But complete it, I hope they do.

I don’t know the name of the Swedish man who came to the Israeli embassy in Sweden to lay down 900 roses in memory of the slaughtered victims, but I know I love him and hold him in my heart forever.

“We are fighting for our lives, for our future, and mostly for the future of our children.”

Arab-Israeli TV anchor @lucyaharish interrupted rolling coverage of Hamas’s atrocities against Israelis to make this heartrending appeal to the world.

Please listen and share.

I’ve said it before & will again:

I’ve heard so many regrets.

Please. I plead with you. Live deeply. You may be young now but it goes. Fast. It is a breath. Do not waste time on everyone else’s vision for you. I know it is not this easy. In all the ways you can, please be here.

@jamdoctorjay We should start putting that in our notes and discharge summaries (including death summaries). "Cause of death was a delay/care in the treatment of X due to barrier of insurance despite it meeting criteria for treatment and despite providing evidence of necessity of treatment"

In the US where time off to rest, exercise, family and community involvement, and food freshness and quality are all sacrificed at the alter of “productivity,” no amount of fixing our dysfunctional healthcare system will improve our outcomes.

We need to fix our culture.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

All I want to do is create, work on something bigger than myself, be with family, exercise, eat good food, lift weights, walk in nature & get good sleep.

Everything else is a distraction.

I’m an entrepreneur because I’m too creative, insatiable, powerful, curious, and committed to excellence to be anywhere else.

I’d love to hear other entrepreneurs’ personal Whys —

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

We’ve completely forgotten why we're entrepreneurs.

When did we become a group of vitamin-D-deprived, Allbird-wearing, alternative-milk-drinking, extreme PowerPointers?

Many of us got soft. We don’t climb mountains, we only take risks with other people’s money, we sit behind keyboards bragging about how ChatGPT did all the work.

What a terrible thing to strive for.

How can you make the most money by employing the fewest people and doing the least amount of work? How can you get mailbox money? Or a fast exit so you can tweet about it?

The secret:

Entrepreneurs don’t exist just for a bunch of zero’s and some big exit, but because we are crazy people willing things into very existence.

We are supposed to be the next generation of explorers, risk-takers, adrenaline junkies. Addicts to the masochistic mission of achievement and ownership.

The feeling of being so damn unemployable your only option is owner. The inability to sleep because of visions so big they pull you from bed in the dead of the night. Dreams so futuristic people laugh when you tell them.

Those are the entrepreneurs I admire.

Like @BrewDogJames who created billion-dollar Brewdog on a fisherman’s salary, and swims with and champions sharks.

Like @Geoffrey_Kent who traveled around the world, breaking bones and barriers to travel creating billion-dollar company Abercrombie & Kent.

We’re investing in entrepreneurs like them... who don’t want passive income, they want f*ing empires.

My husband and I have a saying: “Protect those who can’t, cast aside those who won’t, enable those who want.”

Here’s to all of you who want so badly your wants become realities.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0
