Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,
My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.
On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.
For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.
So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.
This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.
You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.
Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.
This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.
In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.
@rowancheung Many thanks @rowancheung for all. I am looking for an API, a product, librairies to classify 15000 mails per day. To understand if it’s related to a contract , an invoice, to find a reference , to understand the context. With training and in a private cloud. Your best idea?
Pitoyable fuite devant ses responsabilités du ministre de l’éducation.

Infini respect pour les profs et les chefs d’établissement qui vont devoir composer avec ça!
@mitchdeg Tu es rarement méprisant @mitchdeg . Imaginons la création de 2 startups qui ont été revendues plus ou moins bien (plutôt moins que plus). Il veut faire une pause et recherche un job chez @DayOneEP . And so what ?
100% de neige artificielle pour les JO de Pékin, stades climatisés pour la Coupe du Monde au Qatar: clairement le CIO et la FIFA, en plus de se foutre royalement des droits humains, se moquent du climat et de l’écologie. Organisations corrompues et minables.
Allocution juste maintenant : Quand je vois @olivierveran jouer avec son masque , le remettre , le mettre en boule , le remettre , je me demande s’il écoute les consignes basiques … 🥲
@keieradouglas As I am quite sure to be smart , I really prefer compliments on physical appearance 😘. Please be happy to be beautiful and smart and, yes , take both …
@rglucks1 En démocratie , on vote sur un choix. Entre Melenchon , Fillon , LePen et Macron , si on ne choisit que sur les libertés publiques, qui peut penser que Macron n’est pas le meilleur choix ? Sur le même choix , vous votez pour qui @rglucks1 ?
.@ZARA répond et propose une rencontre avec la direction en Espagne. Nous irons avec des exigences précises, demandant des engagements concrets et vérifiables. La raison pour laquelle ces multinationales nous répondent? La pression que vous mettez sur les réseaux.
Donc merci!
.@EmmanuelMacron dites, faites quelque chose. Maintenant. Ou ne venez plus jamais nous parler de la république française, son histoire et ses principes universels.

Déportés Ouïghours: des héros prennent des risques insensés pour sortir ces images terribles de Chine pour alerter le monde. Mais les leaders européens n’ont pas un mot. Et les dirigeants des pays musulmans pas plus. Leur silence tue. Et nous couvre tous de honte. Brisons-le.
