One year ago today, prominent journalist and Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was killed by an Israeli airstrike on a media tent in Gaza City.
He was 28 years old and had been receiving threats for reporting on Israel’s war crimes prior to his assassination.
Those who hide behind faceless profiles and keyboards would genuinely not last a day in the public eye. It’s verrrrry easy to comment but to be commented on relentlessly would make you never want to show your face again, especially because you’re not even showing it now.
Thank you for the gyan & outrage. I have a question though @bhumipednekar - you made an appearance on reality show Lock Upp recently where contestants use ma-behn ki gaali liberally. Why did you not pull any of them up saying this is not our culture?
I saw a post on Reddit that said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.
This is MASSIVE 👏
🇺🇸Donald Trump: "Spain is terrible. Bad people."
🇪🇸Pedro Sánchez🔥: "Nah. Look, Spain responded to this tragedy with dignity. We defend human rights. We are not like you. We are not committing genocide like Netanyahu. We are Spanish and we are proud."
Pedro Sánchez is the SPINE of Europe 💪
A disturbing number of Indian female celebrities are either spineless or misogynistic.
It’s painful to watch women who fought society to reach the top either stay silent or make sexist remarks against young girls.
At the very least, show empathy, humanity, and decency.
Spain treated every single person with dignity and respect on this tragic situation.
We defend human rights.
We are not US. Of course we are not genocides as Netanyahu.
We are spanish and we are proud of who we are.
Hi @bhumipednekar,
Just saw a video where you spoke up against students who used abusive language out of anger & frustration against PM Modi. Same students were also beaten at Jantar mantar, pellet guns, tear gas, lathis were used. Many got injured, some with serious injuries. But you chose to not speak about that and only this one specific incident. GREAT!
But then I have a few questions for you-
1- Where was your moral policing when PM Modi called, Sonia Gandhi "Congress ki vidhwa", "jersey cow" and made personal jibes at her?
2- Where was your courage when he called a dead woman "50 crore ki girlfriend"?
3- Where was your culture when MPs from his party used communal and abusive slurs such as "Mulle M@darchod, Mulle Atankwadi" inside the Parliament.
4- Where was your soul when his party spokespersons called "someone r@ndi ki aulaad" on live TV?
5- Where is it NOW, when Modi supporters are sending r@pe and de@th threats to minor girls?
6- Where is your strength when everyday women and young girls face online lynching by the same people you are supporting today.
Will you make a video for all of this too?
Or is moral policing only for students, young girls and women of this country?
SELECTIVE OUTRAGE IS HYPOCRISY
I just spoke with Ruchika's mother. She is deeply upset and understandably angry. Despite Ruchika releasing an apology video and Prime Minister @narendramodi publicly stating that she (& others) should be forgiven, the FIR against her child has still not been withdrawn. She is also distressed that sections of the media continue to circulate her daughter's videos and relentlessly hound the family with questions.
On behalf of Cockroach Janta Party, I assured her that no legal action will be taken against her child. I also assured her that we will extend every possible legal assistance and ensure Ruchika receives any counselling and support she may need during this difficult time.
She was relieved to hear this and said she would reach out to me whenever any assistance is required.
@Cockroachisback
i just had to delete a huge praise tweet for the petal mv bc people kept quoting it saying awful things about her. not every fucking conversation has to be about her “health” which you or i have no idea what is even happening. the fact that it’s considered controversial now to simply enjoy the music and decide not to deem her as sick and dying…? which is btw a label YOU put on her btw. don’t involve me in that shit. fuck ALL OF YOU.
