What does it say about you if you look at this infant and see a threat that must be eliminated?
And what does it say about the values of the countries that defend and enable these murders?
This is the 7-month-old Palestinian baby shot & killed by an Israeli soldier yesterday.
🛑 Pakistan is not just a country on the map, it is the bridge connecting the West, South Asia, the Middle East, and the wider Muslim world. Its geography, diplomacy, and strategic importance make it central to regional stability and global connectivity.
“Pakistan is a bridge between the West, South Asia, Middle East and the wider Muslim world.” 📍Fareed Zakaria, CNN
A reality the world is increasingly recognizing. 🇵🇰
WOW!
@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.
I thought it would be bad.
I had no idea it was THIS bad.
No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.
In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.
On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.
Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.
In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.
In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.

Iran’s Response to the U.S. Proposal: Deal or Renewed Conflict?
🔹According to multiple reports – including WSJ, Al-Mayadeen, and Tasnim – Tehran’s response to the U.S. proposal includes immediate end to the war; guarantees against renewed attacks; sanctions relief; lifting OFAC restrictions on oil exports; release of frozen assets; end of maritime pressure/blockade on Iran.
🔹Iran also reportedly links any agreement to de-escalation on other regional fronts, especially Lebanon. That suggests Tehran is treating the conflict as part of a broader regional security arrangement, and not just a bilateral issue.
🔹On Hormuz, Tehran has reportedly proposed phased reopening/stabilization of the strait in exchange for U.S. steps on sanctions, removing shipping restrictions, and de-escalation. In other words, Hormuz is treated as part of an eventual deal, and not a concession to make upfront.
🔹But the biggest challenge appears to be the nuclear file. Iran has reportedly rejected dismantling its nuclear infrastructure – as expected. Instead, it is willing to discuss limits, sequencing, monitoring, and addressing the concerns of its highly enriched uranium
🔹Reports also suggest Iran wants nuclear negotiations to continue during a 30-day follow-on phase AFTER an initial ceasefire/political understanding. That sequencing is probably one reason Trump reacted so negatively.
🔹From Tehran’s perspective, making irreversible concessions first would repeat the vulnerabilities exposed after the collapse of the JCPOA. That is why guarantees also reportedly became a major part of the Iranian response.
🔹Trump has called Iran’s response “inappropriate” and “unacceptable.” That sounds less like tactical dissatisfaction and more like rejection of the overall framework Tehran proposed.
🔹The timing also matters. Trump spoke with Netanyahu after receiving the Iranian response. The call highlights how closely the diplomatic and military tracks remain intertwined with Israeli calculations.
🔹At the same time, both Trump and Netanyahu made comments today that may indicate preparation for renewed escalation.
🔹Trump said the war is not necessarily over, only around “70%” of objectives were achieved, and indicating that more military moves may still be needed.
🔹Netanyahu also suggested that the job is not done because Iran still has its nuclear program, still supports proxies, and still has ballistic missiles.
🔹That framing is important because those objectives go well beyond what Iran appears willing to negotiate away.
🔹Tehran’s apparent position is to preserve strategic infrastructure while negotiating de-escalation. But Israeli strategic objectives increasingly appear aimed at long-term rollback of Iran’s capabilities.
🔹That mismatch is becoming more dangerous. The atmosphere now increasingly resembles coercive diplomacy backed by preparation for renewed conflict. Both sides still seem to believe additional pressure could improve their position.
🔹Iranian military signaling today may reflect the same assessment. Warnings from IRGC naval and aerospace commanders, issued around the time Tehran submitted its response, may have been intended as deterrent messaging ahead of a possible new escalation cycle.
🔹Overall, the trajectory is clearly becoming more unstable because the two sides appear to be negotiating toward fundamentally different end states.
Whatever was left of the "West's" moral standing and credibility was destroyed here, in Gaza.
Gaza will be rebuilt, but it will take a Herculean effort to rebuild the standing of the West.
España no mira hacia otro lado.
Sancionar a quienes defienden la justicia internacional es poner en riesgo todo el sistema de derechos humanos.
La UE no puede permanecer de brazos cruzados ante esta persecución.
Por eso, hoy pedimos a la Comisión que active el Estatuto de Bloqueo, para proteger la independencia de la Corte Penal Internacional y de Naciones Unidas, y sus acciones para acabar con el genocidio en Gaza.
Told @cnn that Iran wasn't pursuing a nuclear weapon according to US intelligence services before the war, but the war may dramatically incentivize them to go in that direction if a deal is not reached.
ہمارے خودساختہ دانشوروں اور بزعم خویش باخبر صحافیوں کی عقل و دانش کو سلام۔ جو دن میں پانچ بار موقف اور پینترا بدلنے والے امریکی صدر کے بیانات پر ایمان لاکر ایرانی قیادت کے اندرونی اختلافات کا ڈھنڈورا پیٹ رہے ہیں ۔میدان جنگ کی کامیابیوں کو مذاکرات کی میز پر آنے سے قبل ضائع کرنے کا مشورہ دے رہے ہیں ۔صدر ٹرمپ سے کہنے کی جرات نہیں کہ وہ بحری ناکہ بندی ختم کرے بلکہ ایران کو امریکہ کی شرائط ماننے کا بزدلانہ مشورہ دیا جارہاہے۔اس بے حمیت ذہنیت نے 56 مسلم ممالک میں سے اکثریت کی قیادت، انٹیلیجنشیا اور عوام کو ایک ایسے ریوڑ میں تبدیل کردیا جس کی کوئی سمت ہے نہ اعلی مقصد حیات ۔اس ہجوم کو ایک ہانکنے والا چاہیئے جو ان دنوں ٹرمپ کی شکل میں دستیاب ہے ۔کس قدر بدقسمتی ہے کہ محمد عربی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے نام لیوا یہ خودساختہ دانشور اور صحافی مظلوم کے حق میں کلمہ خیر کہنے کے بجائے ظالم کی طاقت اور ہیبت سے خوفزدہ دوسروں کے ہمت وحوصلہ کو توڑنے پرلگے ہیں۔ناداں کہیں کے۔
🔸Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy (@gideonle):
“An army who is preoccupied in a brutal occupation for decades now cannot behave otherwise. You cannot maintain such an occupation for so many years and remain human. Doesn’t work. Didn’t work in any other occupation in the world.
What will make people realize that we are growing monsters in front of our eyes? What will make them be convinced that we crossed any possible line?
You know there are six million uprooted people now in the Middle East wandering around from here to there. part of them lost their homes forever in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Iran.
Are we really proud to be a country which creates such a reality for 6 million human beings?
Isn’t it the time once to look at the
truth and say yes, we went too far. our
megalomanic dreams, our belief that only by force and only by military force
without any restraints will solve the
problems.
I was today in the West Bank. I’m there every week. There is no exceptions anymore. The pogroms of the settlers, together with the soldiers, together. Planned together, committed together. This is not an exception. This is an army of occupation who cannot operate otherwise but to become more and more and more brutal.”

Since the Epstein class is insulting the holy Prophet and his wife Aisha in order to hide their crimes, I decided to write this. Historians list Aisha among the first two dozen people to convert to Islam, which would have required her to be at least several years old at the start of the Prophet's mission. The overwhelming consensus among Shia scholars is that she was 18-19 when she married. This is the most frequently cited range, often calculated using the age of her older sister, Asma, who was 10 years older and died at 100 years old.
