🚨BREAKING: UAE’s🇦🇪 Al Habtoor Group Founding Chairman Khalifa Ahmad Al Habtoor’s open letter addressing Lindsey Graham’s call for Gulf States to join the war on Iran:

I heard the statements of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, in which he calls on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to enter this war, saying that we are also under attack and that we must join the fight. And I say to him clearly: We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his "allies" in the region.

We thank God that the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries are doing well, and we have no need for someone who claims he came to the Middle East to save us. The truth is that hasty American decisions are what embroiled the region in a war whose peoples were not party to its decision-making, and its local allies were not consulted before it was launched.

We do not deny the Iranian threat to the region, which has become clear in recent days. We do not trust Iran. But this is a dirty game in which several powers clash at the expense of our region, with no honor in it and no transparency. In this scene, Iran, Israel, and the United States all move according to their own interests, not according to the interests of the peoples of the Middle Eastern Arab countries.

And for this reason, we say it clearly: We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions. We value the lives of our sons, and we do not treat their souls as "collateral damage" as some do. Nothing in this world is more precious than the lives of our sons, and no alliance with any country in the world is worth risking these lives. If President Donald Trump and Senator Graham are prepared to risk their country and the lives of Americans for Israel's interests, that is their choice. As for us, we will not do the same.

Senator Graham says they are "the Arabs' allies" and that we need and benefit from U.S. protection. And I say to him: We do not need your protection. All we want from you is to keep your hands off us.

He also says: "We sell you weapons." As if that were a service the United States provides us. The truth is that this is no favor from anyone. We invest in our security and pay billions of dollars for these weapons, and it is a massive trade and industry built on these deals. In fact, the United States itself is now turning to buy weapons from Ukraine to supply its allies in other wars. This is an industry that thrives on wars and arms sales, not a charitable endeavor.

And the clearest thing of all is what Senator Graham himself said when he spoke about oil. He stated that Iran and Venezuela together hold 31% of global oil reserves, and that the United States could establish a partnership with this share of the world's oil, and that it would be a "nightmare for China"—he even added that if the regime in Iran changes, there would be a "new Middle East," and the United States would "make a lot of money."

Only then does the picture become clear. And only then do we understand why they want this war.

Finally, I say to Senator Graham: You may be a senator in the U.S. Senate, but anyone who hears your statements might think you're a member of the Israeli Knesset, because you defend Israel's interests more than you defend the interests of the American people themselves.

The peoples of our region have the right to live in security and stability, far from others' wars. We also have the right to decide how to protect our interests and security, and to emerge from crises we did not create but which were imposed on us as a result of conflicts between powers vying for influence in this region.

We want peace and stability. We will not accept being forced down the path of war, nor will we accept being fuel for others' battles.

VERY unpopular opinion humans were never meant to be this busy that’s why everybody is anxious and depressed.

[Evidence Unit @Sousou0720]

Me happy about the fact that Yasmine ROASTED Simo after he apologized and couldn’t take it back in front of everyone

[Mira B @mirabittar]

Exactly my thoughts. She owns up to her materialistic persona and doesn't pretend otherwise.
Say what you want about her, but she was a girls girl in the reunion, standing up for other women.
Frankly disappointed with Dunia's judgmental attitude.

[Gwen 💫 @GabwithGwen]

Nour is kind of materialistic, but she doesn't pretend to be someone she isn't. She is very articulate and clocks the hypocrisy of the other cast members in a very calm, unbothered manner. 💁🏾‍♀️ #loveisblindHabibi #loveisblind #loveisblindhabibireunion #LOVEISBLINDreunion

[🦋 @arianaspovv]

Karma was the ONLY one to step in and defend Nour when chafic started literally bullying her and talking about her looks #loveisblindhabibi

[Gwen 💫 @GabwithGwen]

Y'all be hating on Nour, but she's a girl's girl. She comforted Karma and told her it was good that she held on to what she loves and many man love women with hobbies and interests❣️ #loveisblindHabibi #loveisblind #loveisblindhabibireunion #LOVEISBLINDreunion

[❤️‍🔥🕷️🕸️ @RhehSall]

The “men” want the women to respect traditional values but they don’t uphold those same traditional principles much less the standard. Fk outta here. Nour ate them all up, including Dounia’s pick me ass

"We had to bomb & starve & burn & kill tens of thousands of Palestinian children because Sinwar is hiding in a tunnel surrounded by children and hostages... But we also killed Sinwar in a regular firefight."

[Etan Nechin @Etanetan23]

My take on Sinwar is that today a Palestinian picking olives was shot by the IDF just because. No matter how many "heads" Israel will get, Israelis and Palestinians will never be safe until Jewish supremacy and the occupation ends.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Reports Sinwar was killed above ground in active combat while Netanyahu hides in a bunker amongst a civilian population every time rockets land, yet the western propaganda machine only uses the word ‘human shields’ for one.

Every accusation…

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Daniel Levy: "Those who are suggesting that this will be a mission accomplished moment that will somehow lead us to a ceasefire havn't been paying attention... Netanyahu isn’t at war with Sinwar or Hamas. Israel is at war with the Palestinian people"

[adam @AdameMedia]

The media doesn’t want you to see this Yahya Sinwar interview.

It explains a lot.

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

this is just astonishing. The New York Times just published a piece where they say "many in Gaza" celebrated Sinwar's killing, and cite a fake anonymous person supposedly saying "he made Israel do this to us."

This is like publishing in 1944: "A Jew in Auschwitz, who wants to remain anonymous for fear of being killed by his fellow inmates, celebrated the crushing of the Warsaw uprising, saying those evil communist Jews made the Nazis do this to us."

This is actually what Der Sturmer published, and the New York Times is now doing it today with utter glee as the entire media class celebrates Ben Hubbard for his brave heroic "investigative reporting".

It's utterly insane. This the level of genocidal murderous depravity that the New York Times and the entire Western media class gleefully indulges in on a daily basis. And they think they are the paragons of moral virtue as they do this. Finding some fake anonymous random guy in Gaza amidst a genocide and going "tell us how Sinwar made Israel do this to you, tell us, I will make sure it's front page news in the New York Times."

Ben Hubbard is one of the sickest most vile genocidal scum alive. He is the modern day Goebbels.

[Abier @abierkhatib]

“ Israel isn’t at war with Sinwar, or Hamas. Israel is at war with the Palestinian people”

This interview w Daniel Levy should
be aired on every TV channel in both the US & Europe.

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

The full excerpt of the 2018 interview with Sinwar:

[Dr. Mustafa Elmasri @Gaza_Psych]

Let us not forget: It's hasnt been about Sinwar or Hamas, and never about October 7th or the hostages. It is about a 80-year history of ethnic cleansing and land grabbing.

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Israel made the mistake of publishing footage of Yahya Sinwar's last moments.

Wearing a kufiyyeh and severely injured, he threw a stick at the drone filming him – a final act of defiance against the Zionist occupation.

In his death, he became a legend.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

How many editors are entirely innocent ?

@theMar_yam The women though, I loved that they didn't fall for red flags.
