We are actually living in a time where Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” -Isaiah 5:20
Lord, have mercy.
The state of Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza strip.
Watch this video to understand how Amnesty International arrived at this conclusion.
Governments must take action—they have the power to end this genocide.

— How are you?
Girl: May Allah keep you safe and well!
— Why are you carrying your brother (sister) like that?
Girl: She was trampled in…
— And where are you taking her now?
Girl: We’re going to our tent.
— And you’re not tired carrying her like that? Are you tired or not?
Girl I’m tired. I’ve been carrying her for an hour and we can’t…
— And where are you going right now?
Girl: I’m going to the hospital!
Yahya Sinwar (1962-2024) died in the way he lived. A keffiyeh covering his head, one arm shot off, his other arm free to throw a stick at an Israeli drone that was targeting him. Till the very last, this Palestinian fought for his dignity. After an Israeli soldier released the video, it was widely shared in the Arabic speaking world and shaped Sinwar as a hero.
At the age of 20, in 1982, long before the formation of Hamas, Sinwar was arrested and detained by the Israeli occupation. Over the course of his early life, Sinwar spent years in prison. During one stint, he wrote a novel - Al-Shawk wa'l Qurunful (Thorns and Carnations), which was smuggled out and published. It tells the story of Ahmed, a boy from Gaza who lives under the Israeli occupation. It is the story of Sinwar, in may ways. After October 7, the Israelis shaped a narrative of him as a monster, which is something that is not recognised by people who worked closely with him. It is forgotten, for instance, that on May 16, 2018, Sinwar told al-Jazeera that Hamas was not rooted in violence but in Palestinian liberation and that it would also develop forms of 'peaceful, popular resistance'. This was in the context of the Great March of Return in Gaza, which the Israelis met with lethal force.
After Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh on July 31, 2024 in Tehran, the Hamas leadership named Sinwar as its leader. He remained in Gaza, moving around, and being in the thick smoke of the fight. He died as so many Palestinians have died over this year: as a human being who spent his life fighting for dignity, and who died with dignity.
The 5 things they're not telling you about Israel, Lebanon, and Hezbollah.
Some myth-busting and debunking from me, of lazy media propaganda, from my opening monologue on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' today.

we don’t own the earth
don’t own the earth
we killing each other
over some lines in the dirt
we bleed the same blood
feel the same hurt
Palestinian life
does it have the same worth?
This is in English because it's not "for the people of Lebanon", it's propaganda aimed at the US. In just the last few days Israel has murdered hundreds in Lebanon with indiscriminate terror attacks and bombings. Time to cut off US support for Netanyahu's genocidal land grab NOW.
There's no atrocity or crime against humanity that Israel can commit that its fanatical American supporters won't instantly justify by saying that they blew up more babies because someone from Hamas was nearby.
Israeli forces killed a U.S. peace activist in the occupied West Bank.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was killed by a “deliberate shot to the head,” witnesses say.
She worked with the same peace activist movement as Rachel Corrie, a U.S. citizen killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003.
Within 300 days, lsrael has dropped 82,000 tons of explosives on Gaza Strip, destroying the following:
• 430,000 houses.
• 821 mosques.
• 3 churches.
• 206 historical sites.
• 25,000 km of sewage networks.
• 700 water wells.
This thing is so funny. Do you people really believe that Algeria, the very Arabic, very Islamic, very conservative republic of Algeria, sent a transwoman to represent them? 💀
NEW: Authorities release footage of Illinois deputy Sean Grayson k*lling 36-year-old Sonya Massey who called the police because she thought someone tried breaking into her home.
Horrific.
Massey, who was a paranoid-schizophrenic, was told to take boiling water off the stove by officers.
When she went over, Massey asked why the officers were backing up, to which they responded: "Away from your hot steaming water."
Massey appeared to threaten to throw the water on the officers which is when they pulled out their guns.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Massey said as she quickly apologized.
Grayson, who later said he thought she was going to throw the water at him, then shot her three times, one hitting her under the eye which exited out her neck.
Grayson was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree m*rder. He is being held without bond.
