Breaking | MEE reports that Judges have cleared ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual misconduct allegations, with a panel appointed by the courtโs governing body stating that a UN investigation found no evidence of misconduct or breach of duty.
Just a reminder:
Edward Saidโthe intellectual patron of anti-Jewish, anti-Israeli, and anti-American rage at @Columbiaโwas photographed hurling rocks at Israeli soldiers two months *after* Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon in 2000.
It has never been about peace.
This is Hossamโs team, and we are sharing his final message :
โIf youโre reading this, it means I have been killedโmost likely targetedโby the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years oldโa college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tentsโanywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my peopleโs side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at restโsomething I havenโt known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our storiesโuntil Palestine is free.โ
โ For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.
sorry but the pain of having an IUD inserted is nothing compared to the pain I experience as a father and a scholar watching my son have his essay โThe Planes Flew Themselves: Nonhuman Agency After 9/11โ rejected from every high ranking journal in my field
I will be on flight IZ218 ATH-TLV. It should land 30/9 10:30 local time, I should be out of the airport by 14:00 local time max (6 am CDT). Just in casies :)
SCARY POEM TIME SINCE WE RAISED OVER $500 FOR GAZA!
This is a poem that got very "we love this but are too terrified to publish it" type responses from the lit world (far far pre 10/7). I hope some of you see yourselves in this poem in the absolute worst ways ๐
