Israel’s land-grab in Lebanon. 81 towns demolished & now evacuation of major cities: Tyre & Nabatieh. 3,200 Lebanese dead, over 1,000,000 displaced.

Why is the world silent? Don’t Lebanese lives matter? Why can Israel act w/impunity?

To be clear: they’re not protesting against the sexual torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities. They’re protesting against the NYT for reporting it.

@zeteo_news @mehdirhasan Mehdi, you’re losing followers. Stop it. Just like you, MTG has made errors in judgement. But recently she’s been on the right side. Stop going back to find reasons to dislike her.

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me!
As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest".
Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far.

Together we are One.

"...Aynı gün, İran gaddarca bombalandı. İran'ın dini liderinin suikasta uğradığı gün. 40 liderin öldürüldüğü gün. Dini liderin torununun öldürüldüğü gün.
Ne mi oldu?
Bahreyn'den gelen ilk konuşmacı, büyükelçi dedi ki: 'İran'ın bize yönelik bu sebepsiz saldırısını kınamak için buradayız.'
Sebepsiz mi? İsrail-ABD saldırganlığından sonra mı?
Kendi kendime, 'Yanlış duyuyor olmalıyım' diye düşündüm.
Ardından Fransız büyükelçi geldi: 'İran'ın komşu devletlere yönelik saldırısını kınamak için buradayız.'
Sonra Danimarka büyükelçisi geldi: 'İran'ı kınamak için buradayız.'
Sonra İngiliz büyükelçisi geldi: 'İran'ı kınamak için buradayız.'
Ardından Yunan büyükelçisi geldi: 'İran'ı kınamak için buradayız.'
George Orwell bile böyle bir şeyi uyduramazdı. Bu, İran'ın saldırıya uğradığı gündü. Sadece üç ülke —Rusya, Çin ve sanırım Afrika ülkeleri adına orada bulunan Somali— İsrail ve ABD'yi saldırdıkları için kınadı. Sadece üç ülke!
Düşünmek zorunda kaldım: 'Neler oluyor burada?'
Size ne olduğunu söyleyeyim, bu çok ilginç: Bunu söyleyen her bir ülkenin topraklarında bir Amerikan askeri üssü var.
Onlar egemen ülkeler değiller. Konuşmaya cesaret edemiyorlar. Amerikan ordusuna ev sahipliği yapıyorlar, CIA'e ev sahipliği yapıyorlar. Dikkatli olmak zorundalar!"

What Gaza taught me about human beings is that people can remain profoundly beautiful even inside unimaginable suffering.

I was working in resuscitation bays so hot that sweat would drip off my arms while we worked on children torn apart by bombs.

And still, families would tap me on the shoulder to hand me water.

The cook at the hospital learned that I loved fried eggplant. Whenever he made it, he would come find me somewhere in the hospital, sometimes in the middle of chaos, just to hand me one small piece because he knew it made me happy.

People who had lost almost everything still wanted to take care of someone else.

Sometimes a person would simply take my hand and quietly walk with me to sit down for a moment so we could just exist together as human beings for a minute before going back into the horror.

And one moment will stay with me forever.

I told a father that I was American. That my country had paid for the bombs that killed his child.

And instead of anger, he hugged me.

He rejected the idea that I carried personal blame for what had happened to him. He gave me kindness at the exact moment when I felt least deserving of it.

I went to Gaza thinking I was going there to help people survive genocide.

Instead, they helped me survive it too.

Gaza showed me something devastating and beautiful about humanity itself.

That even surrounded by death, grief, fear, hunger, destruction, people still reached toward each other.

Still shared food.Still offered comfort.Still protected tenderness.

And to walk away from that was much harder than I ever imagined.

“Mamdani’s inclusion of staffer wearing keffiyeh in video draws criticism” - Jewish groups called it a disgrace! Wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh is a symbol of pride. What is disgraceful is the intolerance & bigotry of those who reject Palestinian humanity https://t.co/8fo2LJhfpg

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.

In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.

On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

[Luc Bernard @LucBernard]

Up to 75% of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire was murdered during the Armenian Genocide.

Which was over 65% of Armenians worldwide.

This is the heart of Beirut.

Israel is flattening entire neighborhoods in Lebanon’s capital.

Families and civilians are still buried beneath their own homes.

A 5,000-year-old city is being wiped off the map in real time.

And the world watches in silence.

On CNN earlier today Israeli journalist Amit Segal stated that Israel’s bombing of Beirut yesterday killed “220 Hizballah commanders”. Zero pushback from either of the CNN interviewers. If it had been a US propagandist making similarly absurd and debunked claims about killings of entire families by the US military there would have been substantially greater scrutiny.

[Daniel Seidemann @DanielSeidemann]

The Armenian Quarter is a gem.

For those who still do not know the difference between Zionism and Judaism, the US-Israel Axis (Zionist) has bombed the Rafi-Nia synagogue (Jewish) in Iran, reducing it to rubble. That should clear things up for you. #ResistZionism

BREAKING: Statement by the Armenian community of Lebanon.

"Horrific massacre in Beirut: Death toll surpasses 300 due to gases released by the Israeli army.

Beirut today witnessed a major massacre carried out by the Israeli army, the tragic toll of which continues to rise alarmingly.

According to the latest data, the number of victims has so far exceeded 300, while the number of wounded has surpassed 700. These devastating losses were caused by toxic gases released by Israel. Unfortunately, these figures are not final and continue to increase as rescue operations proceed across various parts of the city.

This large-scale slaughter has shaken the entire region, while hospitals are in a state of emergency, struggling to cope with the high number of injured, many of whom are in critical condition."

[N.B: As of now, no Armenian in Lebanon has been killed or injured.]

This is Isfahan, Iran, tonight.

Trump and Israel are massively bombing a city older than most of the modern world.

Over 2,500 years of history.
Nearly 2 million civilians.

And they call it “liberation.”
