ATAK BÓLU...
Po niszczycielskich trzęsieniach ziemi, które wstrząsnęły Wenezuelą, obraz zaczął krążyć po świecie. Pośród gór betonu, kurzu i ciszy ratownicy znaleźli scenę, która poruszyła nawet najsilniejszych.
Pod szczątkami zawalonej struktury pozostał pies półkrwi. Nie szczekał. Nie próbowałem uciekać. Leżał nieruchomo, patrzył w oczy, a ciało stało się tarczą.
Pod nim spoczywało dziecko.
Podczas gdy wszystko wokół niego się zawaliło, ten mały chłopiec nadal żył, chroniony przez kolegę, który zdecydował się stawić czoła niebezpieczeństwu, niż porzucić kogoś, kto najbardziej go potrzebował.
Członkowie zespołu ratowniczego donoszą, że na miejscu zdarzenia zaniemówili. Najpierw udało im się wyciągnąć psa, który opierał się oddaleniu od dziecka, dopóki nie upewnił się, że też zostanie uratowane. Chwilę później mały został wyciągnięty żywcem pomiędzy oklaskami, łzami i wzruszeniem tych, którzy byli świadkami tej chwili.
Poza tragedią, która wisi dziś Wenezueli, ten obraz przedstawia coś, czego żadne trzęsienie ziemi nie może zniszczyć: nadzieję.
Ponieważ kiedy natura wystawia na próbę siłę ludu, pojawiają się też gesty, które mogą nam przypomnieć, że współczucie, lojalność i miłość mogą pojawić się tam, gdzie najmniej się tego spodziewa.
Ta fotografia okrążyła świat, ponieważ podsumowuje w jednej scenie ból narodu i jednocześnie pewność, że życie zawsze znajduje powód, by się opierać.
I wtedy rodzi się pytanie, na które każdy odpowie z własnej wiary i własnego sumienia:
Czy to był cud Boży... czy najczystszy instynkt zwierzęcia gotowego oddać wszystko, by chronić życie?
Bez względu na odpowiedź, ten obraz przypomina nam, że nawet wśród gruzów może rodzić się nadzieja.
📷 Dziś Wenezuela potrzebuje solidarności świata bardziej niż kiedykolwiek. Modlitwa, słowo otuchy lub po prostu dzielenie się przesłaniem nadziei może stać się również sposobem na pomoc.

No matter what you say, no matter what side you take, one thing is absolutely clear to me:
Iran is, by far, one of the most daring countries in the world right now.
It is standing against the United States, a nation with the most advanced military power.
It is facing Israel, again one of the strongest and most technologically superior forces.
It is dealing with pressures across the Middle East… and doing all of this without direct backing from China or Russia.
Even after massive strikes, leadership losses, and continuous attacks, Iran is still standing, still responding, still refusing to bow down.
And honestly, I don’t remember the last 20 years where any country showed this level of sheer courage and defiance.
Say whatever you want about outcomes, politics, or consequences… but one thing is certain in my eyes:
Iran has shown a level of boldness that very few nations would even dare to attempt.
And no matter how this ends, history will remember Iran as a country that had the courage to stand its ground when almost no one else would.
Trump’s “victory timeline” claims.
Mar 3: "We won the war."
Mar 7: "We defeated Iran."
Mar 9: "We must attack Iran."
Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully."
Mar 11: “You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet."
Mar 13: "We won the war."
Mar 14: "Please help us."
Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it."
Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all."
Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me."
Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad."
Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help."
Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO."
Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 20: "NATO are cowards."
Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it."
Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait"
Mar 22: "Iran is Dead"
Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran."
Mar 24: "We’re making progress."
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away."
Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO."
Mar 28: No major quote
Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing
Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences."
Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing"
Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon."
Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not
Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen."
Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences.
Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."
😂
Former White House energy adviser Bob McNally tell CBS there are no policy solutions to address rising gas prices if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
If Israel can strike Iran’s Supreme Leader with precision, how did a school full of children end up being struck too? I’ll tell you. Because they’re bloodthirsty demons.
Indian Gvt blocked “The Wire” today after Pravin’s confession alongside Karan Thapar, that PAF downed 4 jets of the IAF. The debate is over. Condemnable to block a platform like “The Wire”.
BBC doing what they do best: push Israel's narrative. However, @hzomlot did a brilliant job of challenging the hypocrisy of the BBC👍👍. One of the best interviews I’ve seen.

Some key points made my Husam.
▪️Do not under-estimate people's will and desire to end occupation
▪️Israel was meant to do one thing: end its occupation settlement expansion
International Governments were meant to provide accountability - they never did
Anchor: do you condemn Hamas?
▪️Don't equate the occupier and the occupied. This is not a war of equals.
From its establishment, Israel has ONE military doctrine: to go and fight civilians
When it fights, it fights civilians.
The real conversation is how do we stop this vicious deadly cycle.
(Anchor again tries to get him to condemn)
▪️You have interviewed hundreds of Israeli officials; how many times have you shown Israel committing war crimes live on your cameras - do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? ..You don't. I'll answer for you - you DON'T.
▪️I refuse to answer your question because I refuse the premise of it.
At the heart of your question is misrepresentation.
▪️It's always the Palestinians who are expected to condemn themselves.
This is a political conflict and we have been denied our rights for a long time
The right starting point is to focus on the root causes.
▪️You call me here when Israelis are killed - did you call me here when many Palestinians are killed - 200 over the last few months?
▪️Do you invite me when there are provocations from Israelis elsewhere?
2M have been taken hostage by Israel (Gaza)
▪️We need to stop this rhetoric and give the people some ugly truths sometimes.
Anchor: What is the solution?
▪️Equal application if international law and resolutions - like you did with Ukraine.
▪️Full apply the rules of the League of Nations and the UN. Israel has been the exception for the last 75 years.
▪️Israel is an occupying force - it is mean to provide protection for the people under its occupation.
