I want for u whatever u want for the Palestinians

After destroying the town church, the Israeli occupation forces demolished the historic nun’s monastery and school in Yaroun, southern Lebanon despite the local Christians calls to preserve their heritage. Is this also an isolated incident?

More than 200 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were seized at sea by Israeli forces and taken to the Greek island of Crete were released earlier today, with photos showing visible injuries including bruising, cuts, and swelling; participants say they were beaten and abused in custody.

Not a loaded or an accusatory question. I pray this is not misunderstood in that way. How does the new Syria judicial process work? Asking for Bilal Abdul-Karim who has been detained for a while. When does he get access to a lawyer or stand before a judge? Is there anything that can be done to get his case going or secure a release on bail? What is the law in the newly-freed nation? Could Ankara intercede for him in the meantime via their ambassador in Damascus while the judicial system is being set up or reorganised? Or any leader from Idlib who can ask a favour from Al-Sharaa in the spirit of the years Bilal showed solidarity with a once-ignored and forgotten Syrian people? Or any of the charity organisations currently helping to rebuild Syria who worked with Bilal and can privately speak on his behalf for an executive order for his release?

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

Israel killed every single child in this photo in Lebanon over the past 48 hours alone. They were not combatants. They were children.
