@ragipsoylu What’s the “traditional” way? Who gets to decide what the traditional way is? And for whom is it a bad representation?

I’m thinking of Khaled Nabhan—who walked in the path of prophets, sages, and saints—and his granddaughter Reem, and tens of thousands of others who did not get to live through this. Peace be upon them all.

@cthulhusrose @poorlycatdraw She brightens my day! I just…wish I also brightened hers. 😂

Peanut farmer turned president, Jimmy Carter passed more legislation in one term than most presidents do in two. Lesley Stahl said he was most proud that "there was peace for the four years that he was president." He died today at the age of 100.

Today, we mourn the passing of Former President Jimmy Carter. A Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Jimmy Carter’s humanitarian accomplishments impacted the lives of millions and established a legacy of peacebuilding for generations to come.

Our co-editor Mahmoud Al Shaer just survived an attack in the "humanitarian zone" southwest of Al-Mawasi. He writes: "The impact was shockingly close—two missiles struck a cluster of tents near us, tragically killing four people and injuring more than 20 others, some critically."

~20 degrees above average on the day after this particular election is a bit too on the nose.

Just received a letter from the County Auditor claiming that I am not a U.S. citizen. Now, I have to show up to their office with my passport on Monday at 8 am. This is how they try to disenfranchise immigrants. Defend every vote and U.S. democracy!

"I have visions of lush pine and evergreen forests covered in a blanket of stars, and the kind of beautiful night sky that glows and is a pure black, so silky it is as if it were a liquid that you could run your hands through, and always the right temperature." -Norah, age 10

Sha'ban Al-Dalou,19, as a software engineering freshman, Sep 2023, at Al-Azhar University of Gaza.

Israel destroyed his home and his university and immolated him yesterday at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after forcibly displacing him earlier last year.

It is certainly worth reflecting on the role that children (and their bodies) are made to play in media coverage of conflict - but for the author of this @ObserverUK piece to suggest that reporting on Palestinian children's deaths amounts to antisemitic propaganda is obscene.

Nearly 2000 people have been killed by #Israel’s air strikes in just one week. 1 million people are displaced from their homes. Western nations speak of preventing all-out conflict; but #Lebanon feels it is already at war. Our @PBS @NewsHour report from a shell-shocked #Beirut.

For many journalists, Arab life is worthless. For many investors, Arab death is worth a lot. 

On October 6, 2023 the value of a Lockheed Martin share was $402. Today, they're worth $603.

Jimmy Carter:
"The word 'apartheid' is exactly accurate…they are absolutely & totally separated…the Israelis completely dominate the life of the Palestinian people."
"There are powerful political forces in America that prevent any objective analysis…"

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

According to this report, the White House privately supported the Israeli invasion (while publicly keeping quiet) while the Pentagon and State Department opposed it.

So Biden went against the advice of his own intelligence community. This is his war. https://t.co/o7VHitbw9T
