    Hind Rajab was afraid of the dark. After killing her family & wounding her, Israel prevented her rescue & left her to die alone in the dark. I write about those critical hours & the film that brings back her voice to induct the world’s silence @newlinesmag

    You know exactly why the "Free Press" dislikes Anthony Bourdain, and it has nothing to do with food.

    “The cult of personality Anthony Bourdain left in his wake is frankly insufferable,” says The FP’s @SnoozyWeiss. “He broke how a generation of men eat.”

    There are people sitting in London and New York cheering this on, lionising the killers, while complaining about how oppressed they feel by the sight of a keffiyeh. x.com/MansoorAzad/st…

    This is Dr. Mae Jamison, engineer, physician, and NASA astronaut. She, not William Shatner, was the first Star Trek cast member in space. And she actually orbited the earth for over a week. She also spend two years in Liberia and Sierra Leone as a Peace Corps field doctor.

    This is why journalist should always assume that Israeli government claims are lies until proven otherwise. This official government account has overlaid a fake date on an old video from a bakery it destroyed in Oct 2023 to deflect attention from its ongoing starvation of Gaza.

    As of yesterday, (Feb. 8) 15 bakeries are operational in Gaza, providing over 2 million breads, rolls, and pita breads a day for the local population. Over the last 2 weeks, the number of operational bakeries went up from 10, to 12 and now to 15, following COGAT's facilitation.

    I remember western liberals rightly outraged when ISIS was destroying world heritage in Iraq and Syria. You can now hear a feather drop.

    A new analysis of satellite imagery (here overlaid on Google Earth) shows that the Israeli military demolished at least 79 buildings in Mhaibib in southern Lebanon last week — basically the entire village. Half of the ancient shrine dedicated to Benjamin is gone, too.

    This Su-34, serial #24, bombed Syrian cities extensively. It was piloted by Major Krasnoyartsev, who earlier posed for photos with Putin & Assad. Today, while bombing Chernihiv, its flying days ended. The plane is now scrap, its co-pilot dead, & Krasnoyartsev is in custody.

    He was killed. He didn't just die. Why does the BBC keep misleading the audience by erasing the perpetrator? @BBC_Complaints

    Just finished Bob Woodward's "War". A few takeaways. Biden and Harris detest Netanyahu and privately tried to discourage him from attacking Gaza, but Netanyahu received encouragement to "destroy Hamas" from the Jordanians, UAE, Saudis and Egyptians.

    No, you halfwit. Perpetrating a genocide didn't turn them into moral authorities on genocide. It merely showed they are INCAPABLE of understanding the evil, or even the attributes of genocide.

    Thread: On this day, five years ago, the Syrian regime attacked the town of Khan Sheikoun with the nerve agent Sarin. 92 people were killed; many more left scarred for life. The way #Russia and its western sympathisers responded tells us a lot about what to expect in #Ukraine.
