Israel claims to only target Hezbollah but their victims seem to only be civilian children and their families, doctors, journalists, aid workers and now turtle conservationists.
On the other hand, Hezbollah has only targeted IDF soldiers occupying their land
The Strait of Hormuz is closed again because Israel instantly violated the ceasefire and bombed a series of villages in Lebanon. Of course, they did. We will never have peace with an ally like Israel. If we let them, they are very clear that they will drag us into endless wars.
This is Damascus, the capital of my country.
Israel bombed it less than a year ago, despite the fact that not a single shot had been fired at Israel from Syria for over 60 years.
This had nothing to do with Iran, Hezbollah, or Hamas. It was part of Israel’s efforts to interfere in the country’s internal affairs and keep it divided and weak.
So when Israelis claim that Israel does not attack those who do not attack it, Damascus proves otherwise.
On June 5th Israel attacked the home of world famous Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body.
Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries.
This wasn’t an accident. They didn’t make a mistake. Mona’s home was also where she ran her sea turtle conservatory- which she aptly named the Orange House Project- because, after all, her house was painted top to bottom in a deep, bright orange, the color of a late summer sunset.
The Orange House Project has been in operation for almost 30 years. You can find it on Facebook and Google Maps, along with dozens of reviews from visitors over the years.
So no, it wasn’t an accident or a mistake. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it bombed the Orange House Project on June 5th.
It’s exactly what they’ve been doing since the war with Iran started: ethnically cleansing all of Southern Lebanon so they can steal the land and occupy it for themselves.
I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.
On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.
This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

Not one hospital. Not one trust. Not one shelter. Not one library. Not one scholarship. Not one clinic. Not one housing project.
He could fund any of it. He has chosen none of it.
Instead he sells the world a story of white victimhood, while millions of black South Africans still live in the conditions built for them by white supremacy.
South African Jewish Board of Deputies in the past 24 hours: The UK is antisemitic!
Gift of the Givers in the past 24 hours: It's flooding in the parts of the Cape. Here's what we're doing to help.
A 16-year-old student (now 22) from Limpopo, South Africa, has received attention for a safety device she designed. Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele. She created the idea for a device called the "Alerting Earpiece." It is a small device shaped like an earring. The goal is to help people in dangerous situations.
She got the idea because of high crime rates and gender-based violence in South Africa. She wanted to design something small, simple, and easy to use.
The design includes a small camera, a GPS tracker, and an alert button. The idea is that the user can press a hidden button. The device would then take a photo of the attacker. It would also send the user's location to trusted contacts and emergency services.
The device is still in development: The prototype has won awards (including bronze at the Eskom Expo) and international attention, but it’s not yet commercially available.
It will hit the market sooner than later show how one idea from one person will eventually effect the lives of many

LETS FIND OMPHILE. REUNIT HER WITH HER PARENTS
I got into Harvard’s Master in Design Engineering because of an app I built to help people in townships and informal settlements design, build, and finance their own homes.
But I can’t afford to go.
So I decided to walk from Durban to Cape Town to raise the funds myself.
Along the way, I’ve had to spend money on proper hiking gear just to survive the journey. Today something incredible happened:@kway_za through. I even connected with the guy who designed my bag, and they’re now sponsoring some of my gear.
What’s wild is that my good friend @mbalimcdust encouraged me to write an article about my journey, and that article led to Cape Union Mart reaching out. A reminder that sharing your story can open unexpected doors.
I’m even willing to take a loan, but as an international student I can’t get one in the US, and I can’t access one here because I’m leaving to study overseas.
Like the youth of ’76, I’m done waiting. This walk is my small way of fighting to become the change I want to see in a crisis that’s deeply personal to me. Three decades into democracy, 2.5 million South Africans are still waiting for an RDP home. Some families have waited for decades. My aunt passed away still waiting.
Please support and share my journey.
