    Scenes of #Israeli settlers hectically fleeing surroundings of #Gaza will surely become images haunting the debates to come; at least on the psycho-symbolic level, something has shifted in the balance of power with #Palestinian factions as of now… x.com/muslimbinimran…

    These are not settlers from that area; but Israelis from all over attending a festival in the dessert near to the border with the Gaza strip. google.com/amp/s/www.busi…

    #Sisi’s throne shaking. Another lesson for all those -mainly in the West- who thought that blind repression wld build stability; and a nice setback for all those -in the #MiddleEast- who invested billions & spilled blood in the name of counter-revolution. x.com/HosamYahiaAJ/s…

    One of the largest protests in the history of #Algeria occurred today. The trick the generals & the #Bouteflika clan used some days ago is very obviously not enough; the upheaval is on.

    The #Pinault family, business tycoons and leaders of the ⁦@KeringGroup⁩, pledge 100 million € for the reconstruction of the #Notre_Dame_de_Paris cathedral. A welcome move. And a rather rare one in a very shy tradition of philanthropy in #France.

    #Algeria🤞🏼- Save these images preciously, and keep the memory alive. One day, “they” will re-write history, and try to tell you that it was doomed from the start, that it has never been a sweeping, popular, peaceful, civil, genuine uprising... (aka #Syria😔)-

    This is a very moving tv segment... #Tunisia’s 1st post-revolution President, irresistibly weeps after evoking the fate of #Egypt’s first democratically elected President dead in court yesterday.
