    BBC confirms video released by Israeli military was edited to exclude parts where Israeli troops fire on starving civilians attempting to collect food from aid trucks. Latest example of disinformation by Israeli officials Belligerents lie. Class dismissed

    To clarify, Israelโ€™s claim is nonsense Israelโ€™s justification for illegally occupying Syriaโ€™s Golan Heights since 1967 is that it acts as โ€œbuffer zoneโ€ from a strategic high ground They donโ€™t need a โ€œbuffer zoneโ€ to defend a โ€œbuffer zoneโ€ theyโ€™ve illegally occupied for 57 years
    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli forces have seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement after Syrian troops abandoned their positions in the latest unrest. apnews.com/article/syria-โ€ฆ

    When they're done, can the Lebanese come to Egypt and run our next revolution?

    42% of French voters backed a party founded by a neo-Nazi convicted of Holocaust denial. The threat to Western liberalism comes from its fascists not migrants. Once again a French leader pandered to fascists & then begged voters to save France from fascism & fascists made gains.

    Numbers like these will deter the sick from coming forward, hoping they can ride this out at home. This a public health emergency and the US government must guarantee that everyone can be treated for free. People with symptoms fearing coming forward threatens everyone's safety.
    Wondering how much it will cost if you actually get #COVID19? I talked to a woman who was uninsured when she got the virus, and her medical bills total $34,927.43. time.com/5806312/coronaโ€ฆ

    I live in a dictatorship in Egypt & even the dictator here doesnt have his cabinet go around the room praising him for cameras. That's 'sad'

    Arab Christians are often used by autocrats seeking to justify their brand of repression. We've regularly shown ourselves to be woven into the fabrics of our societies. The threats ahead are real, but so is hope for a better future as part of our societies, not apart from them.
    In the city of Sahnaya, located in the countryside of Damascus, Syrian #Christians are celebrating the fall of Bashar al-Assad. They are chanting, {One, one, one โ€” the Syrian people are one.}

    That isn't what data shows. Exit polls show clearly most Democrats want single payer healthcare. They just don't believe they can have it & fears about electability, whether well-founded or a product of effective spin in the press, convinced them they can't so they vote centrist
    Thereโ€™s a whole group of people whoโ€™ve been profoundly and utterly wrong about the Dem party and what it wants for 5 years. Despite all the evidence of 2018, they created a false narrative that very left policies would drive turnout and win the majority. None of it has been true

    You can't kill over 50 protestors, wound roughly 2000 of them while sustaining ZERO injuries yourself & then pretend to be a victim engaged in legal proportional use of force. That's not rational. Anyone able to suspend reason enough to believe that needs to examine their biases.
