[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

"Palestinian journalists right now are crying."

Al Jazeera’s @Hind_Gaza became emotional as she described the Israeli attack on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis that killed four Palestinian journalists.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

Someone ghoul wrote the phrase “legally killed child,” then a team of editors published it. These people are monsters. I hope they suffer the fate they wish upon our children.

[Ria Rameez @ria_rameez]

The racism is so blatant it’s almost laughable. Ah, Western journalism…for years, you have pontificated about integrity and honesty, and pretended to be pinnacles of freedom and truth. But we see you 🤡

[Community Notes Commentary @CommunityNote_s]

@ShaykhSulaiman Western Media Hypocrisy

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

An Israeli settler family celebrates Purim by dressing as Palestinians amidst the ruins of Gaza, while displaying lyrics from an Israeli song that praises genocide against Palestinians, referring to them as the "Amalek".

[Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

The West sneers at Russian & Chinese authoritarianism, portraying itself as a paragon of free speech. Yet the UK has sought to ban pro-Palestine marches, Germany is criminalising phrases like 'Stop the genocide', & the U.S. has censored the only Palestinian voice in Congress.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

8,005 Palestinians have now been killed in Gaza.

We’re nearing the death toll of the Srebrenica genocide.

Meanwhile, the IDF & settlers are razing Palestinian villages & cities in the Westbank leaving over 100 dead. More land & homes stolen.

“Never again” the world said.

@aishnazim I doubt God wants us to go around killing geckoes, there's absolutely nothing Islamic about it. We're supposed to be kind to all His creations. Though of course, if there's a venomous scorpion hanging around, you might be justified in squashing it since it can kill you.

[Ria Rameez @ria_rameez]

@aishnazim A mantis or a black widow👀 But if I want to avoid cannibalism, then an ironclad beetle. Apparently they're difficult to squash.

@UTMServiceDesk it’s disappointing to commute all the way to campus and not even be able to connect to the internet. It’s becoming a really tired joke. Please fix this.

[Maryam @MaryamAzwer]

Just got shown this ad on Instagram, from what appears to be a local initiative.

This would be cute, except:

1. Muslim women in Sri Lanka don't get to sign at their own nikah
2. Most women aren't even present at their own nikah
3. Even if they are present they are often...

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

It is wild to me that some random guy on Twitter decided that the BA.2.75 variant was going to be known as "Centaurus" and it completely worked.

[Maryam @MaryamAzwer]

Lankan Muslim men who *have* done their homework on #MMDAreform should know by now:
1. Women pushing for reform ARE proposing reforms within an Islamic framework

2. We HAVE consulted with religious scholars on the matter, many of whom agree with us

3. Reforms have been stalled

[Ria Rameez @ria_rameez]

@aishnazim @MaryamAzwer Or the fatwa about women avoiding cucumbers and bananas (unless presented by the husband, I believe) because they trigger sexual thoughts, ahahahaha

[Mohammed Hanif @mohammedhanif]

Withdrawing from @goerheinstut’s Hamburg conference where they first invited and then disinvited Palestinian journalist and poet Mohammed El Kurd. Reason is even more offensive. Apparently Kurd is not respectful enough towards Israel. How do you say bugger off in German? 1/3

[WatchDog @TeamWatchDog]

We did some digging into this 'For Sri Lanka' fundraiser.
And would advise caution if you're to donate. Why?

Gold. Just gold. Wiki may have locked editing but these are forever lmaoooo

[Lazeenah @LazeenahS]

Who did this-

[Ria Rameez @ria_rameez]

How is “blue eyes and blond hair” even relevant? They’re children. That is enough.

[Ria Rameez @ria_rameez]

“…a relatively civilized, relatively European…”
“These are intelligent people, educated people…some of them are IT specialists, highly qualified…”
Why even include these racist comparisons when reporting on Ukraine?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

“This is a relatively civilized” city, he says, referring to Kyiv, after saying it’s not like Iraq or Afghanistan.
