Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
Pep Guardiola said that this was the toughest Premier League he has experienced. Slot echoed that. The floor of the league is so high West Ham were relegated on 39 points and three England clubs are in European cup finals. Donβt let anyone discredit this.
Back in December we were only 2 points ahead π
January came and Pep added two of the best players in the league to his squad, while Arteta made no signings. We dealt with a ridiculous injury crisis, competed in four competitions, and kept playing three games in seven days multiple times.
Pepβs side lost just one league game from December to May and we still came through it all. Gunners continue to celebrate this title with passion , drink it in, we worked too hard for this. Ignore the noise β€οΈπ
George Orwell's 1984 serves as a stark warning about the manipulation of language, and it appears our political class and mainstream media are following it as a playbook.
Homelessness becomes a "lifestyle choice," ethnic cleansing a "humanitarian corridor," and carpet bombing is justified as "self-defence." Peaceful protests are smeared as βhate marches,β while groups like EDL and football hooligans are sanitised into 'counter protestors' and 'patriots.' The Overton window, familiar to Orwell, is manipulated to control public discourse.
@BBCNews and @SkyNews strategic display of the Cenotaph and accompanying narrative during the recent peace march creates a false association, diverting attention from the march's call for a ceasefire on Armistice Day.
@guardiannewsβs language choice raises concerns about journalistic objectivity, portraying Hamas actions as 'brutal massacres' while using passive terms for Israeli bombings.
The reporting of casualties further accentuates the bias, with Israelis 'killed' and 'murdered,' while Palestinians simply 'die,' and buildings targeted by Israeli missiles merely βexplode.β
It's not just about discriminatory language; it's the deliberate exclusion of context and pertinent information.
Moreover, the Peace Marches pose a challenge for the political class. An overwhelming 76% of the UK public desires an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. To maintain power, they rely on an uninformed populace. I implore everyone to be discerning consumers of information, fact-check, resist perpetuating propaganda, and to be fearless in speaking truth to power.
