Was een beetje klaar met alle katten en honden die door beeld liepen tijdens videovergaderingen, dus heb vandaag Camilla meegebracht naar een overleg. Ze vond het een interessante ervaring, maar heeft geen verdere aspiraties als kantoorkip.

Listening to Western mainstream commentary on events in Syria vs listening to Arabs is like parallel universes. Whether it's about Gaza or Syria, they speak with a detachment and a psychological distance that is explained only with this: They don't see us as fully human.

Well, I was thinking of going with my daughters back home in Dahiyeh or maybe to our newly-built home in Khiam which took us 8 years to finish. I then thought about whether it would be safe for us native humans of Muslim faith to go there, especially ones who would definitely be followed and surveilled by an Israeli Zionist drone that targets civilian cars. I then remembered that the Israelis already took down my Dahiyeh home with US-made munition and they burnt down the Khiam one with white phosphorus with Canadian (and other western) tax payers' money. This mental calculation is happening in Beirut, Lebanon in 2024 as the world watches in silence after a 1 year and 2 months continuous genocide in #Gaza too.
But then I found my daughters curled up with their pet cat in the corner trying to calm one another down because Israel was dropping bunker buster bombs 1 km away from our "refuge" house killing other Lebanese people's Muslim young daughters.
Say what now @GadSaad?

So Israeli soccer fans went to Amsterdam, tore down Palestinian flags off Dutch buildings, chanted for the killing of Arabs, and then got attacked as a result.

But if you google ‘Amsterdam’ you’ll see a bunch of headlines about Israelis being targeted in unprovoked attacks.

Turkish authorities banned a screening of Luca Guadagnino’s QUEER, which was set to open MUBI Fest İstanbul. (The reason: “contains provocative content that will endanger public peace.”) In response, MUBI has canceled the entire festival.

I will translate this for all the Western liberals who don't understand anything: Ramallah is not Gaza, it is in the West Bank, it's a beautiful cosmopolitan city that is Christian, Muslim, and secular, and it is not governed or controlled by Hamas.

"Ten years later, the film takes on fresh, modern contexts, as media distrust and access to violent imagery have been exacerbated to the extreme of altering the purveyor and spectator."

For @ebertvoices i reflected on NIGHTCRAWLER for its 10th anniversary.
I found it provoked my discomfort with how comfortable our culture has become with violent imagery since the film’s release. https://t.co/tUKUc6EArT

Genocide. Een ontzettend goed gedocumenteerde genocide.

Yes that video is real. Yes you just watched Palestinians be burned alive in a hospital. Yes one man was still in his hospital bed. Yes you can still speak up about this. Yes you can change your mind. Yes you can start now. Yes we need you to start screaming alongside us.

[Wouter de Boer @weedebee]

@mangiotto @flmfrkcentral Nah, just catching up on all the time I didn't yet support you. Take care!

[Wouter de Boer @weedebee]

@mangiotto @flmfrkcentral Ok guys, I hear you! I will double my monthly patreon contribution again tomorrow. 🙏🏼

Hey remember when way back in October I said, repeatedly and consistently, Israel will not stop in Gaza & that they were quite clearly pushing an ethnonationalist expansionist wet-dream of a “Greater Israel” ala “Greater Serbia” and I got rape & death threats for it? I was right.
