Thank you very much @CairoScene for the coverage. The book sub-title is "Identity and Independence (1850-1936)", in other words, the two sides of Egypt's coin. @BloomsburyAcad @ibtauris

@ShaykhSulaiman You do understand that they're intentionally destroying these sites to erase them from our future generations' memories. They also control our history books. This is because all they claim as their history is tailored to convince us they belong to this region. Connect the dots...

And he's not saying they'll destroy ten military buildings each time, he's saying they'll destroy civilian buildings and murder ten times as many civilians for every Israeli soldier attacked in Lebanese territory. So, the Lebanese must surrender, otherwise, they'll be butchered.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

What Gaza taught me about human beings is that people can remain profoundly beautiful even inside unimaginable suffering.

I was working in resuscitation bays so hot that sweat would drip off my arms while we worked on children torn apart by bombs.

And still, families would tap me on the shoulder to hand me water.

The cook at the hospital learned that I loved fried eggplant. Whenever he made it, he would come find me somewhere in the hospital, sometimes in the middle of chaos, just to hand me one small piece because he knew it made me happy.

People who had lost almost everything still wanted to take care of someone else.

Sometimes a person would simply take my hand and quietly walk with me to sit down for a moment so we could just exist together as human beings for a minute before going back into the horror.

And one moment will stay with me forever.

I told a father that I was American. That my country had paid for the bombs that killed his child.

And instead of anger, he hugged me.

He rejected the idea that I carried personal blame for what had happened to him. He gave me kindness at the exact moment when I felt least deserving of it.

I went to Gaza thinking I was going there to help people survive genocide.

Instead, they helped me survive it too.

Gaza showed me something devastating and beautiful about humanity itself.

That even surrounded by death, grief, fear, hunger, destruction, people still reached toward each other.

Still shared food.Still offered comfort.Still protected tenderness.

And to walk away from that was much harder than I ever imagined.

One of the harshest and most devastating videos captured in modern history…

A young boy tries to comfort his little brother after the loss of their mother, while both cry in overwhelming pain and sorrow.

A heartbreaking moment that will forever remain in the memory of generations.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.

She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.

She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

@wonNonlyfrench @RnaudBertrand @AnnCoulter Brainwashed much? Shows ur complete ignorance. In Iran: 70% of STEM graduates are women. 58% of PhD students are women (2025).

Make no mistake: destroying world-class universities, like the US just did with Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, isn't just an attack on Iran but it's literally an attack on all of us, on all of humanity.

It's not Iran that "won" when Maryam Mirzakhani made her discoveries that won her a Fields Medal: it's all of mathematics, and everything mathematics is used for. Human progress won, technology won, we all won.

It's the same type of stuff the Mongols did during the sack of Baghdad and their destruction of the House of Wisdom: we ALL lost something irreplaceable back then, entire fields of human knowledge set back.

That's what bombing a university does. It doesn't just destroy buildings. It destroys us, all of us.
