O Allah,
Shatter the oppressors, restrain them, and make of them a warning to those who seek to follow their ways.
Protect the innocent wherever they are. Shield the vulnerable from every harm. Bring swift justice to those who spread it throughout the earth.
Our Lord, the corruption has been laid bare for all to see. Now let us see the corrupt stripped of their power in every way, and do not let us be counted among them in any way.
Ameen
Pakistanis must not echo the same justifications they condemn elsewhere.
Saying the rehabilitation centre was “near military targets”, the dismissal of civilian lives as “collateral damage” or framing innocent civilian deaths as “revenge” for terrorism in Pakistan is precisely the rhetoric we rightly condemn when used by others.
Pakistan must support a credible, independent investigation.
This is horrifying - possibly one of the worst massacres in recent years. A drug rehabilitation hospital? A criminal government and criminal military enacting the violence that was allowed and normalized in Gaza. Expect more of this by every government that wages war.
The most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are. But I guess it’s expected from a man who regularly and publicly fantasized about sleeping with his own daughter and is clearly implicated in the worst pedophile coverup case.
"Do You See a Line? Because I do Not"
This is highly shameful.
We used to share tweets from the Human Rights Foundation condemning Israel for killing Palestinians in Gaza and attacking hospitals. Now I find myself sharing a similar tweet — but this time the aggressor is my own country.
Israel claims that Hamas terrorists hide behind human shields in hospitals and residential areas.
Pakistan now makes a similar claim: that there were terrorists and explosives hiding inside medical institutions.
Reports suggest around 400 casualties from these airstrikes. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that half of them were militants. But what about the other half: the patients undergoing rehabilitation and their families sitting beside their beds and praying for them on 27th Night of Ramazan?
Will we now use the same phrase that Israel uses for the 75,000 casualties in Gaza: the notorious, cruel, indifferent, arrogant, and inhuman phrase: “collateral damage”?
Where is the line between Israel and Pakistan?
Do you see a line?
Because I do not.
All I see is a war crime.
Humanity is doomed.

Israel: “we targeted a hospital in Gaza because Hamas was hiding there”
Pakistan: “we targeted a hospital in Kabul because terror!sts were hiding there”
WHERE’s THE DIFFERENCE ? I see none.
Both the countries justify killing innocents shamelessly!
Too many people are focused on defending Rama, who can speak for herself, instead of defending Susan Abulhawa, who was actually thrown under the bus by Mamdani.
As usual, it’s Palestinians who end up paying the price.
Susan Abulhawa is arguably the most well-known Palestinian author in the United States. Yet neither Mamdani nor Rama has spoken up to defend her.
What makes it worse is that Rama was commissioned to create artwork for Abulhawa’s writing. Allowing your husband to publicly disparage a writer whose work you were hired to illustrate is deeply unprofessional.
Especially when both Rama and Zohran were more than willing to build their careers and platforms through Palestinian spaces before turning around and distancing themselves once they made it.
me personally i’d unconditionally defend my wife from any attack no matter what, especially from race supremacist agitators who will never be satisfied with your groveling anyway. but that’s just me!
Bombing the center of a capital should be unthinkable. Apparently it depends on the city — and who’s dropping the bombs.
In London, Paris or Washington this would be a global crisis. Here it barely registers.
3 years of genocide and bombing people across 8 countries wasn’t enough for the EU to sanction Zionists
But 10 days of Iran defending themselves was…
This is what we call selective humanity.
It is a deliberate choice for Canada to name every party except Israel, the one that is responsible for "attacks against civilians, civilian infrastructure, and UNIFIL personnel."
