-Telling Iranians that help was on the way which encouraged them to keep protesting while they were getting killed by the thousands.

-Not doing anything

-Nearly two months later, starting a large scale war with Iran without a proper strategy.

- Sign a deal with Iran

@IhabHassane I think the Shias are the ones who would benefit the most from the peace agreement.

@politicalpen_ Can you provide a link please?

@One4Zion @MaxNordau @yannispappas @talsharon08 Additionally, a far right government who decides who can stay based on ethnicity will move nowhere when it comes to achieving internal peace. All that can be done for safety in any country is enforcing laws justly among all its citizens.

[Talia @taliashms]

@One4Zion @MaxNordau @yannispappas @talsharon08 They accepted the Arab identity, but their ethnicity is not from the Gulf. If anything, they have a small amount of admixture from the Arabian peninsula. European Jews have admixture from Europe, Iraqi Jews have admixture from Iraq, and Moroccan Jews have admixture from Morocco.

[Talia @taliashms]

@One4Zion @MaxNordau @yannispappas @talsharon08 You can not be interesting in the indigenous debate, but the point is that they are not foreigners who came into a country that they might hate. They are people who’ve been there all this time when that region wasn’t yet a state.

[Talia @taliashms]

@One4Zion @MaxNordau @yannispappas @talsharon08 Those 2 million Arabs in Israel are also indigenous to the land. The conversation would be much more productive if Palestinians stopped peddling that Jews were European colonizers and if Israelis stopped saying that the Palestinians are indigenous to the Gulf. Accept the reality.

@Maroxad In the U.S., it does cost more than in Mexico. Maybe around 10 dollars because it has a market of people who can afford it.

[Talia @taliashms]

@Maroxad 500 grams of texturized soy chunks in Mexico cost about 1 dollar. 100 grams of it has around 50 grams of protein. Texturized soy chunks is considered the cheap version of meat for the people that can not afford it.

Lebanese food is vegan friendly. All cultures include meat in some form, it has nothing to do with one specific culture. I am a Lebanese person who is heavily plant based and I am lucky that Lebanese food provides so many options🌱

[ponding👀🇱🇧 @alotoft7282_]

Vegans piss me off. I won’t let them demonize my cultural food for being heavily meat based, while they won’t dogshit on the true enemy capitalism for making industries unethnical 😹

The ceasefire announced in Lebanon, however, offers cause for hope; it represents a glimmer of relief for the Lebanese people and for the Levant. I encourage those who are working toward a diplomatic solution to continue peace talks, so that the cessation of hostilities throughout the Middle East may become permanent.

[Talia @taliashms]

@tonguekissmee @TNinestein @3lfares That’s interesting. I’d love to visit and tour Chile one day. They’d know immediately that I’m from Mexico, but I think I’d hear them all authentically.

[Talia @taliashms]

@tonguekissmee @TNinestein @3lfares It is officially the same language, but it’s correct to say you speak Egyptian or Lebanese due to how it varies from each other or from Modern Standard Arabic.

[Talia @taliashms]

@tonguekissmee @TNinestein @3lfares That’s why you’ll see that they understand each other across the Arab world for the most part. Certain dialects are excluded. If you did not grow up learning MSA and say something like “I speak Lebanese”, what people will understand by it is that you don’t speak MSA fluently.

[Talia @taliashms]

@tonguekissmee @TNinestein @3lfares For example, to say something as simple as “I want” is completely different across dialects. In Lebanese Arabic, you would say “Bade”. In Egyptian Arabic, you would say “Ayze”. In Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), you would say “Uridu”. There’s many examples like this.

[Talia @taliashms]

@tonguekissmee @TNinestein @3lfares Personally, I find it much easier to understand Scotts and Chileans than certain forms of Arabic. I was drawing comparisons between languages that are mutually intelligible to state that Arabic dialects could easily be characterized as different languages with its variety.

[Talia @taliashms]

@TNinestein @3lfares It is the same language technically, but the differences don’t resemble other languages that have multiple dialects.

Hindi an Urdu, different languages, are completely mutually inteligible. Farsi and Tajik also. For Arabic, the majority don’t understand Moroccans for example.

[Talia @taliashms]

@TNinestein @3lfares As someone who speaks Spanish and Lebanese Arabic, the dialectal differences in Arabic are very pronounced. I can understand all dialects of Spanish, but I can’t say the same for Arabic. I understand about 40% of MSA.
