Life at 38, a summary:

[Jordan Financial Blog @jordanfinance]

It's called a pig 🐷 butchering scam

Caveat emptor

Be careful from too good to be true investment opportunities

[Palestine in the UK @Palestine_in_UK]

At a UK Parliament briefing, H.E. Ambassador @hzomlot said that allowing the “Great Israel Real Estate Event” to take place on British soil by the British government is shameful, illegal, and a direct violation of government policy. The government must ban such criminal conduct and the organisers must be held accountable.

During Pride month, Palestinian queers watch Israeli rainbow flags rise over cities built on the ruins of our people and are told this is progress. But this pinkwashing is just meant to launder Israel's image while genocide rages. Don't fall for it.

On Gaza’s Hidden Epidemic of Male Infertility for @newlinesmag, my project is finally out in the world. A two-year investigation into the reproductive aftershocks of American-made bombs on Palestinian men.

The story follows Saeed and his decade-long pursuit for fatherhood amid mounting debt, repeated bombardment, blockaded IVF clinics, and the acutely distressing burdens of masculine shame and social stigma. A predicament borne by thousands of men confronting the far-reaching reproductive consequences of life under Israel's siege.

Since Israel’s assaults have razed much of Gaza’s IVF infrastructure (a total of nine IVF labs), medical statistics hardly exist. Anecdotal evidence, already rarely heard outside the bedroom, is also in short supply.

The Israeli military has long depressed community birth rates across Gaza while converting a heavily subsidized reproductive *entitlement* in Israel (IVF) into a punishing war of exhaustion for Palestinians struggling with infertility.

Embryos, medications, culture media and the specialized laboratory equipment upon which Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) depends move at the mercy of Israel's illegal twenty-year blockade.

Across the iron wall and for Israeli citizens, reproduction isn’t an extractive gamble, but an exceptionally generous state project involving multiple, state-subsidized treatment cycles and support. It is an engine of continuity and a national priority shaped by Israel's demographic anxieties.

Please read about the deranged courage, hope and unimaginable costs required to pursue fatherhood under siege.

🔴 The son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza held in Israeli detention since December 2024, warned Monday that his father’s life is in danger after being transferred to solitary confinement in Nafha Prison — a move the family says came in direct retaliation for filing a legal appeal with the Israeli Supreme Court.

The family says Abu Safiya is being held in a two-meter cell with no food, water, medicine, or access to his lawyer.

“How can a person be punished for asking why he is being detained?” his son asked in an urgent public appeal. “Every hour that passes without action may bring more suffering and pain.”

Israel issues a forced evacuation order for the Christian quarter of Tyre for the first time in at least two decades.

It was the only remaining part of the city not under evacuation order.

Heartbreaking farewell moments.. Fahd Abu Heikal carries the body of his infant son, Sam, who was killed yesterday evening in the city of Hebron, as relatives and family members bid him a sorrowful farewell.

🇵🇸 Detained Palestinian doctor Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, now held by Israel in solitary confinement after being detained in northern Gaza in December 2024, asked his lawyer to deliver a message to his son, according to a post shared by Musab al-Shareef:

“If you can reach Anas al-Sharif, ask him to remind the world of our cause and our suffering.”

According to the family, Dr. Abu Safiya did not know that Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Anas al-Sharif had been assassinated on August 10, 2025, when an Israeli strike hit a journalists’ tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City – an attack that Israel publicly acknowledged carrying out.

A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.

This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.

Mohammed Asasa was forced to re-bury his 80-year-old father less than 30 minutes after his burial in the village of Asasa, in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli settlers threatened to exhume the body with bulldozers and heavy digging materials if the family did not move his body.

[Oxfam in SWANA @OxfamSWANA]

From today, “Oxfam in #MENA” (Middle East and North Africa) will make the long overdue change to “Oxfam in #SWANA” (Southwest Asia and North Africa). 

This is more than a change in terminology. It reflects Oxfam’s commitment to localization and regional self-definition, and our belief that language shapes how regions and the people who live there are understood. 

The term “Middle East” is steeped in colonialism. It is a phrase imposed on people within the region, from outside of the region and continues to shape how this region is seen, understood, governed, and engaged with today.

SWANA better reflects the people and places at the heart of our work and aligns with the values we stand for.  It does not define the region in relation to Europe and affirms self-definition.

While our name is changing, our work and commitment across the region remain the same, as we work alongside communities to address the root causes of poverty and inequality, and support them to face emergencies, recover and thrive.

Trump's Board of Peace is in financial crisis and wants to use funds taken from the Palestinian Authority to pay for Gaza's reconstruction. Palestinians would pay twice over: money stolen from the West Bank would be used to cement Gaza's occupation. https://t.co/5ewuHO6noe

Better to talk honestly about how mothering radically rewires women’s brains, and how (while a bit disorienting at first) this is an amazing personal transformation on a par with going through adolescence into adulthood

🔴 Important:

UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese has published a thread defending the recent New York Times report on sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli detention, compiling more than 20 reports and investigations published since October 2023 documenting sexualized torture, rape, sexual humiliation, and other abuses against Palestinian detainees, including children, medics, and journalists.

Albanese says the NYT article “barely scratches the surface” of a much older and systemic pattern of abuse. She argues Israel’s outrage stems not from the allegations themselves, but from fear that mainstream Western audiences may finally confront evidence long documented by Palestinian groups, Israeli human rights organizations, UN bodies, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and other investigators.

[Yipeng Ge 葛义朋 @yipengGe]

A major win! The U.S. sanctions on @FranceskAlbs have been suspended by a U.S. court. And in the judge’s words: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". May the truth tellers prevail. May justice prevail. May Palestine be free and liberated.

[Lina Abu Akleh @LinaAbuAkleh]

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin.
An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.
