سرکاری اعداد و شمار کے مطابق 7 کروڑ سے زائد آبادی شدید غربت میں زندگی بسر کررہی ہے جبکہ بینکوں کے منافعے 671 ارب روپے، کھاد کمپنیوں کے منافعے 141 ارب روپے، اور آئی پی پیز کے واجبات 1 ٹریلین روپے ہیں۔ آپ کی حکومت کی ترجیح عوام کی فلا و بہبود نہیں بلکہ اشرافیہ کی عیاشیاں ہیں۔
Ten things Pakistani city administrators hate:
1. Trees (can’t have any of those)
2. Productive citizens (those crazy peeps why haven’t they migrated yet?)
3. People who pay direct taxes (eat cakes suckers)
4. Books (head hurt from read)
5. Things they can’t sign (please put up!)
6. Anyone under 30 years old (ungrateful livings!)
7. Food carts, roadside vendors, makeshift stalls (Real land grabbers and criminals are too strong so lemme harass these guys from my swanky government funded SUV)
8. pedestrians, cyclists (who are these strange people without cars?)
9. Breathable air (do brains need oxygen? Mine works fine without it.)
10. Municipal water supply & waste management (these luxuries for developed world, we cannot afford. - tell driver to bring my double cabin, I have a lunch a Serena with donors).

This is not business as usual.
My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today.
It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine.
Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must follow.

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't.
Iran has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country.
Israel doesn't."
But Israel's the victim?
My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmally biased.
Pakistan should temporarily defer its scheduled diplomatic and military contacts and visits to the USA to cater for the situation in the home region. It is not in the national interest to get dragged into the conflict next door through such visits. It should also be prepared to counter any mischief by neighbouring India to settle not so old scores in this situation. Pakistan ought to resist recent temptations and diplomatic pampering by the Trump administration to the extent of staying clear of the actual war scene and categorically refuse to repeat its 9/11 role in the region?
“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?”
The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes @JehadAbusalim, but a child surrounded by flames in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire.

Congratulations to the winners of the Bloomsbury Book Prize for best book on Pakistan! It's incredible to see so much groundbreaking work being produced on Pakistan's history, culture, religion, and politics—and that too by Pakistani scholars. A proud moment for us all.
