@DerechaDiarioIS@TorreOne Please keep repeating this. Maybe if you yell loud enough or condescendingly enough or if you gaslight enough and with enough CONfidence, maybe the confidence trick will succeed.
@caitoz 1. Careful with the "mentally ill" point. Mental illness does not imply criminal behavior or violence. Careful not to stigmatize ppl w/ mental illness or to imply lack of intent by an aggressor. 2. The aim would be to extinguish free speech altogether, not just about Palestine.
@AssalRad You don't get it. They protect Christians by killing them. Comparable to how Trump is making America great again by destroying its economy and ignoring its Constitution.

La France condamne fermement l'agression hier à Jérusalem contre une religieuse française de @EBAFJerusalem. Nous souhaitons un prompt rétablissement à la religieuse agressée, dont nous suivons de près l'évolution de la situation. La France appelle à ce que l'auteur de l'agression soit traduit en justice pour cet acte et que justice soit rendue.
@MouinRabbani American politicians and commentators, the fearless lovers of dogs, who very bravely ignored the dogs - and all the other animals - in Gaza and in all other genocides and wars they've been a part of, are making brave public statements about the right to bear dogs.
Ramadan arrived this year, and for the first time in my life, my mother did not clean the house.
Not just any cleaning, but the ritual every Muslim family knows: washing the walls, rearranging the rooms, brushing away a year’s worth of dust as if we were preparing our souls before preparing the space.
This year, nothing happened.
Yesterday, I told her that some corners of the apartment needed thorough cleaning, that they might become a breeding ground for insects if we continued to ignore them. We had spoken about it many times before, and each time she and my sister refused without explanation. I thought I understood the reason, but I had never heard it spoken aloud.
Until yesterday.
With a voice that sounded as if something inside her was breaking, she said:
“This is not our home.
It will never become our home.
And I will not treat it as if it were.”
Five months ago, the Israeli army destroyed our house.
Since then, my mother has refused to return and see what remains of it. As for this small rented apartment, which we pay for only because we have nowhere else to go, she refuses to call it home. To her, it is nothing more than a temporary shelter, a waiting room between two lives her heart still cannot accept.
At first, I thought it was only emotion. Perhaps mothers cling to places more deeply than we men do. I expected my father to say something practical, something that would help her move forward.
But when I looked at him, waiting for reassurance, he said quietly, with a pain that filled the room:
“Every night I wake up in the middle of the night.
I look around and ask myself:
Why are we here?
Why aren’t we in our home?”
And in that moment, I realized something about myself.
I understood why, even now, when I write about this place in English, I cannot use the word home. I always write apartment.
As if language itself refuses to lie.
As if words know what we are trying to deny.
That was when I understood that war does not only destroy walls.
It destroys the very idea of belonging.
It turns families into tenants in their own lives, and strangers within their own memories.
We didn’t just lose a house.
We lost the word “home.”

@EarthFirstVoter Question: Do you know of prior posts or statements by Nerdeen Kiswani, Zohran Mamdani, or Randy Fine about this topic? (Not like ever, just within this context)
I don't think it's a secret that some Muslims have dogs as pets while others wouldn't because they see them as unclean.
خلال حرب الإبادة الجماعية على غزة، حمل أكثر من ٥٠ الف جندي إسرائيلي جنسيات مزدوجة، وكانت النسبة الأكبر منهم من الولايات المتحدة وروسيا وأوكرانيا وفرنسا وألمانيا. يجب محاكمتهم جميعا بتهمة ارتكاب ابادة جماعية.
عارفين إن في جنود إسرائيليين استغلوا معلومات عسكرية سرّية عن قصف غزة للمراهنات؟
واحد منهم حقق أرباح وصلت إلى 150 ألف دولار خلال سنة.
يعني معلومات مرتبطة بحياة الناس ودمهم تحولت لأداة ربح ومضارب.
