People often say, why don’t villagers in the West Bank ever hit back when Israeli settlers are brutalizing them or burning their homes? The answer was always obvious, but this is it. Netanyahu will use it as justification to accelerate slaughter and destruction in the West Bank:
⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
a lot of heartwarming stories related to Egypt’s first World Cup win, particularly Mostafa Zico’s story. from a shoe seller who used to play in Egypt’s second division in 2019 to getting a surprise call to join the squad a couple of months ago to now having a goal and an assist
Just when you think you've seen all the videos that convey the depths of Israeli depravity, there's another one. For humanity's sake that colony must be dismantled
This is Mohamed Nader, one of the victims of the San Diego mosque terrorist attack…
His wife, Mrs. Khairaat, has served as a kindergarten teacher for decades. Their family has long been known within the ICSD community as “the neighbors of the masjid,” since they lived directly across the street.
When Nader heard the gunshots, he immediately ran toward the danger. He grabbed whatever he could from Brother Amin Abdullah and went inside to confront the two terrorists. He was martyred in the process.
At the same time, his wife was barricaded inside the kindergarten classroom with her students. Despite the unimaginable fear and chaos, she remained composed so the children would not be afraid. Imagine her strength... Evacuating with her students and then witnessing the carnage brought upon our house of worship and school.
Brother Nader was always trying to do right by people, especially by his children. His children attended my Quran classes, and their parents would often ask me to check in on them and mentor them. They cared deeply about their children and the children of the community. They would always say, “Please talk to our children because they listen to you and need good mentorship.” SubhanAllah, this is the kind of family the Awads are.
When Brother Nader heard the gunshots, he ran into the gunfire from across the street not knowing what would happen, only knowing that his wife, the children, and the community were in danger and that he had to do something. By the will of Allah, he delayed the shooters and prevented them from reaching the classrooms.
He saved an untold number of children’s lives yesterday.
May Allah accept Nader as a Shaheed.

It’s so interesting to notice how Toronto Police use generic language and won’t name specific communities in some instances.
No one should be targeted for their religion.
As a public institution, at least be consistent if you’re going to be making these statements.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) was attacked last night by warships, drones and speedboats full of heavily-armed Israeli commandos, despite sailing just off the coast of Greece, more than 500 nautical miles from Gaza.
Of 57 boats at sea, 22 are believed to have been intercepted in the attack, which began at around 11 pm local time. 35 others escaped interception, with many sailing into Greek territorial waters.
Around 170 participants are believed to have been detained, and are likely being taken to Israel – several days sail away. Others were left stranded at sea. In a statement, GSF described their situation as “a calculated death trap”.
“After smashing engines and destroying navigation arrays, the military retreated – intentionally leaving hundreds of civilians stranded on powerless, broken vessels directly in the path of a massive approaching storm.”
Organisers initially assumed that all intercepted participants had been detained. Many activists posted pre-recorded videos to their Instagram accounts saying they had been taken hostage. But with systems down and phones thrown overboard, it is possible some are actually adrift and unable to communicate.
In October, the IDF pirated flotilla boats and sailed them back to Ashdod – but Israeli commandos reportedly found this challenging because they got seasick and didn’t know how to sail. The journey then was only hours long; this time it could last several days.
While Israel has illegally intercepted dozens of past flotillas in international waters, the distance from Gaza and proximity to Europe this time is unprecedented, with many asking how European governments could allow it to happen.
UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese said on Instagram that the attack should send “shock waves across Europe”.
“Alarm! How on earth is [it] possible that Israel is allowed to assault and seize vessels in international waters just off Greece?”
I bet most Canadians have no clue that the IDF murdered a beloved Canadian humanitarian. Our Canadian media would rather protect Israel’s false image rather than to tell the truth of Israel’s blood lust.
In a nutshell: it's wrong, it's illegal, but we won't pursue even the most obvious of consequences for it.
The people of Lebanon and the Lebanese people of Canada deserve better than this.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.
We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.
