It is convenient to become an Aditya Dhar, Sudipto Sen or Vivek Agnihotri in a land where sympathy is a crime, empathy an offence and fraternity condemned.

It is equally difficult to remain a Diljit Dosanjh or Imtiyaz Ali and sing a ballad of peace. 🎶
Kudos to both. ✨ 🩵

@AbhTri_ Yeah best to make narcissistic megalomaniac alpha male content with 0 respect given to women characters and justification is “i have known rape victims” and when people who point the problem, then call them names like “parasites”. You all are the reason society sucks for women

Israel has now dropped 65,000 tons of explosives on Gaza’s civilian population in 89 days—over one and a half times more than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

A story of Olives and Cactus:
“Wherever you see cactus, know there was a Palestinian village in that place ” . That’s what they tell you if you ever visit the West Bank. Israel has been removing, bulldozing , erasing villages and cities for decades to terraform the land . But the problem is , Cactus keeps growing back . No matter how they try to destroy the land and the soil and build their settlements , cactus keep coming back.
A friend of mine just came back from there carrying a gift for me : Locally squeezed olive oil from a her village in the West Bank . “Forget the commercial stuff you buy from stores. We squeeze oil in our own villages.”
They squeeze the olives on the stone mills, use clean dedicated straw bags to squeeze it on the extruding machines . Same process that has been done for 100,200, 400 maybe 600 years . As old as these trees. You take a product of the land , squeeze it to its limits and you get that pure green gold.
A healing potion of life .
“Just put some oil” is the answer for everything in Palestine. Hungry ? Add oil. A bit sick ? Rub oil. Want to feel better about the world? Oil as old as the earth is there for you. They are not just olive trees. They are family . They are there to feed you , heal you and take care of you. How can you uproot a member of the family and call this land yours ? I have no idea . The trees don’t agree with that . And cactus definitely don’t agree with that. Maybe we got it all wrong! Maybe olive trees are not just an extension of Palestinian heritage. Maybe, Palestinians themselves are an extension of the land . They are like the trees . You can beat them , you can pressure them , you can squeeze them and push them beyond any human limits. But they don’t die . Like crushed olives that produce green gold. And from death, a million lives will be born. And their pain will eventually be the healing potion for all of us.
And if you try to uproot them , they won’t go away . You think they will. But they come back. Like cactus . To defy you , to stand up for you , take your abuse and prick you back. They are there , to stay . Forever

Thread: This viral video has been viewed millions of times in the last week.

It claims the Palestinian women in the two videos are the same "crisis actors" appearing as Hamas fans in one clip and civilian victims in another.

@O_Rob1nson and I tried to find out if that's true.

If this happened to a white western journalist there would be global condemnation from every capital, screaming headlines, economic sanctions and a Hollywood movie.

Since this is a Palestinian journalist the life of his wife, children and grandchild matter far, far less.

They lied to you about Iraq.
They lied to you about COVID.
They lied to you about Russiagate.
They lied to you about the Ukraine War.
They lied to you about beheaded babies.

But you think they’re telling you the truth about who bombed a hospital in Gaza?

Wake up.

We were hiring for a software engineer at nearbuy (my previous startup).

The candidate we really liked was working at one of the IT giants for the past 3 years.
His salary was 4.2Lpa

The HR manager asked, "how much should we pay him?"
"Why are you even asking?"

Because...

If you saw Scoop and felt a deep sense of injustice, remember that Umar Khalid has been in jail for almost 3 yrs now on similar trumped up charges under draconian acts. This is not about left or right. This is about how someone's rotting away in jail, stripped of their

13 years ago today, Julian Assange released a video showing US Forces firing on Iraqi civilians, including children. Now he faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing it.
