This is such a simple thing: if you only love the sport when men play it, you don’t love the sport.

"We want our society to be guided by religion"
"Sure, what part, the respect for all humans?"
"No, not that one"
"The generosity of spirit and helping others?"
"No, no"
"The sense of community and belonging?"
"No, none of this, just the bits where we keep women down"

Surviving Lebanon

[Maral @StatusInBeirut]

A thread to conflicted young Lebanese, on leaving.
I can only offer my own personal experience, perhaps it can alleviate some of your pain and worry... (1/?)

[Tala @TalaChehade]

@fatimalmahmoud Lifetime trauma due to the incompetence of our government. I truly hope they're still alive but i can't even imagine how they will lead on a "normal" life after such an event. Tragic.

Beirut has recently experienced a very devastating explosion that has left many people dead, injured, displaced from homes, families sleeping in the streets with their children and hospitals overcrowded due to the influx of injured patients seeking immediate medical attention -

وماذا فعلت السلطات اللبنانية يا فخامة الرئيس لتثبت لشعبها أنها أهل للثقة لتكشف عن الحقيقة، وأن لبنان لا يحتاج إلى تحقيق دولي؟ أين إنجازات القضاء مثلا في الكشف عن الفساد الرسمي المتفشي منذ عقود؟

None of the players in the video is Lebanese but Lebanon holds a special heritage in Australian Rugby! Thank you💜 https://t.co/tDSqOzcgkU

We are not the Paris of the Middle East. We are the Beirut of the world.

I can't stop thinking of all the years we spent drinking, eating, laughing & loving a few hundred meters away from 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate. What if this had happened on a balmy Saturday night pre-covid, when those streets were packed with the country's future, its youth.

TO THE WORLD: The Beirut Port explosion is perhaps one of the biggest political scandals in modern history, and not a single resignation took place.

[DUA LIPA @DUALIPA]

Lebanon is on its knees and needs us more than ever. Yesterday's explosion in Beirut devastated a city and sent shockwaves around a country that is already in the midst of political unrest, economic crisis and famine. We have to come together to help.

If the political system survives this incident, then there is no hope for Lebanon.
