Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'.

This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US.

Listen carefully to what he says.

It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.

All sorts of fashion CEO musical chairs: Antoine Arnault stepping back from Berluti (stays chairman, head of LVMH image), replaced by Jean-Marc Mansvelt of Chaumet; Charles Leung, CEO of FRED, moving to Chaumet; and Pascal Conte-Jodra, previously MD of Mugler, going to Y/Project.

@VVFriedman It was horribly retouched to the point they look unrecognisable! Illuminating to watch the "making of" videos on Youtube for comparison, where they look so incredible and self-realised, with a few wrinkles and all the more beautiful for those. A missed opportunity...

Priyanka Chopra’s concern for Iranian women is hugely appreciated, but her silence on Bilkis Bano and the state enabled persecution of Muslims, especially marginalised women in her home country, India is worth introspection ?

This Ramadan, please pray for the 220 million Muslim population in India that is facing the worst kind of state enabled persecution and humiliation in the history of post Independence India. Our plight is being ignored by the world and its diplomatic silence. @PMOIndia

The travesty of this loss- did covid kill them or the system? A broken system overseen by a regime more concerned with hubris than humanity.

Hard to celebrate or wish Eid Mubarak. Palestine weighing on the heart. Not to mention Kashmir, Rohingya, Hazaras, & more. But I hope you did hold ur family close if ur lucky enough to be able to. Draw love & strength to face the hate & the long struggle ahead. We're here to stay
