I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

Jordan’s response right now is not indifference. It is political memory at work.

In Jordan, regional escalation does not necessarily produce panic. It produces conversation, memory and calibrated alertness.

“Across generations, the difference is not in attachment to the country’s security, but in how that security is understood.”

@MPritchardUK UK must recognise Palestine and its international role in pushing for fair solution that addresses Palestinians’ right to exist as a viable state

After years of saying No, I will now support recognition of a #Palestinian state if vote comes to UK Parliament. Vacuous ‘two-state solution’ holding statements no longer tenable. The hardening politics of current 🇮🇱 govt means UK must recognise at UN in June to ensure viability

@Keir_Starmer Embarrassed by your ridiculous statement. The UK, under your leadership, is not only lacking integrity but also any sense of statesmanship. We deserve better!

My statement on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

@Keir_Starmer Is it the same region that blameless innocent Israel has been actively stoking and stirring since it occupied Palestine in 1948? This elaborate statement condemns everyone else/asks them to behave, ignores Israel’s role. “End Israeli genocide” is more impactful/inspiring message.

A joint statement from the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom on the Middle East.

@DavidLammy We really need the UK to have an ethical and fair stance towards Israel’s inhumane mistreatment of Palestinians. Please don’t lecture us on Hamas when priority is to condemn Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. Immediate ceasefire. End the occupation.

Appalled by the Israeli Military strike on al-Tabeen school and the tragic loss of life. Hamas must stop endangering civilians. Israel must comply with International Humanitarian Law. We need an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians, free all hostages, and end restrictions on aid.

@FCDOGovUK @DavidLammy @UNRWA Excellent step in the right direction. UK must redress the balance and its moral compass with regards the Palestinian issue

The government has ended the funding pause on @UNRWA - effective immediately. This begins with £21m to support the humanitarian response in Gaza, provide essential services for refugees across the region, and alleviate the suffering of civilians. Read more ➡️ gov.uk/government/new…

@mixtorious1 @piersmorgan He was a traitor to the royal family but the father should still try to keep the family talking even if it is at a minimum

@piersmorgan Does Prince Harry deserve this rude treatment from his father King Charles and the Royal Family 🤔

BREAKING: King Charles has checked his diary and can’t find time to see his treacherous weasel of a youngest son.

@JamesCleverly Let’s play populist politics at the expense of health care and the economy .. good one.. brilliant policy .. disgusted!

Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants. This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration 👇

@RishiSunak You turned out to be an absolute waste of conservative space. Deliver a better economy, better education, better business environment.. riding the wave of immigration narrative when u r a son of immigrants.. is proof of ur political bankruptcy .. not voting 4 u next time!

From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK. In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.

@daveatherton All religious conservatives from the Muslim, Christian and Jewish cultures follow similar practices that reduce women to physical second class citizens. But I think you meant to say all Muslims do this? They don’t!

What culture allows this?

@RitchieTorres I wanted to respond rationally like the thousand others that hated your declaration but you know what.. no explaining. You are nasty!

Yesterday, I saw raw footage of October 7th. I find myself haunted by the cries of two children witnessing their father die from an explosion after a Hamas terrorist throws a grenade inside their shelter. Suffering the savagery of Hamas feels like a fate worse than death. The fatherless child is seen crying in agony: “Why am I still alive?”
