Children of immigrants who despise other immigrants probably shouldn’t be in charge of immigration policy. They often seem to be dealing with personal issues that shouldn’t be anywhere near the political space. People who protected & defended their parents might do a better job.
On @BBCHARDtalk, @stephensackur asked me if the Palestinian people feel hopeless and disempowered after the latest Israeli aggression. Here is the answer!
I saw a lot more instances of entirely unnecessary, provocative behavior by Israeli police/military today. At Damascus Gate (stun grenades thrown at peaceful Palestinian group), in Sheikh Jarrah (skunk water fired on Palestinian homes) & Bethlehem (volleys of tear gas)
Heart-breaking but profoundly humbling.
Dr Sadeq Elhowsh died of Covid-19 on Monday and was buried today. What an incredible show of love from his colleagues who tried to save him.
Truly, "The most beloved of people in God's eyes are those who bring most benefit to mankind."
