An Iranian girl lights her cigarette on a burning Israeli flag.

He has had an emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy, left-sided, where the likely dominant brain side is damaged forever. He will probably never be able to speak again, and never be able to feel and move the right side of his body.
At his age, the reason for that is most likely a mass intracranial hemorrhage and swelling due to severe head trauma. He must have also spent a long time in a coma, hence the tracheostomy.

This is, without much room for doubt, the face of a tortured man who has barely survived an emergency procedure, which in normal circumstances would be extremely uncommon for someone his age - and whose quality of life has been reduced to almost zero forever.

Shell and BP are already reporting record profits during the Iran war.

We know from 2021–22 exactly where those profits go.

More than half will go to the top 1%. https://t.co/0SlERlG4I2

An Indian film company has announced a film mocking scores of Kashmiri teenagers blinded by pellet guns in 2016. I wrote an essay on it at the time. Assuming people still read long form in the age of hate cinema.

Netanyahu not only failed to secure his aims in Iran. He also destroyed his credibility in Washington. He is now seen as toxic for having led Trump into a pointless and damaging war. https://t.co/15LMm4OFTL

[Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain]

Its been lost to history at this point but the former WASP elite of the United States was highly sympathetic to the Arabs and this friendship persisted for many decades even amid the crackup over Israel and the Cold War. With the dissipation of those factors it seems like it returns to prior equilibrium.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

European aristocrats too used to be highly Arabists, up until the 70s --including England (T.E. Lawrence),w/ tradition of romanticizing the "voyage en Orient" and importation of NE habits & wisdom.
My father's large collection of these Orientalists was sold at Sothebys in 2020 (I didn't want it).

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

The image of journalist Mujahid Bani Muflih encapsulates the reality of the Israeli prison system, which has become a tool of slow and direct killing of Palestinian prisoners.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

He who conceived the Sampson option did not realize that there is a vulnerable diaspora,
just as he who conceived the Iran assassinations did not realize that there is a global economy.
Zionistas have a high degree of IYIness (Intellectual yet Idiots) blind to 2nd order effects.

One day you'll understand why Alex Karp of @PalantirTech targeted those who teach Heidegger rather than those who teach any other philosopher.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Palestinian activist Abdullah Shatat collapsed moments after his release from an Israeli jail, where he was held 32 months without charge or trial. He says prisoners are starved, tortured and denied treatment as thousands of Palestinians remain jailed.
