Despite the picture we are not actually siamese twins, but here's what Vanela and I are up to in 2024

Many many years ago, I learnt Hebrew out of curiosity, and in a bid to penetrate into a world that I once thought was evil and conspiring against Arabs and Muslims. Once in, I was surprised how wrong I was, how wrong almost every Arab and Muslim around me was. These days, I watch Hebrew networks (and Arabic ones). There is a lot of Israeli pain over those who were killed on 10/7, agony of those who survived, and anxiety over those who are held hostage by Hamas. A lot of tears, now mixing with tears over fallen soldiers fighting in Gaza. The thing about all this Israeli pain is that it is almost exclusively in Hebrew. The world does not see Israelis hurt, does not hear them cry. The world sees Israel as fighter jets raining death to punish those who killed them from 15000 feet above ground. The world only sees and hears pain coming from Gaza, and the world always takes the side of the underdog, even when the underdog is guilty. One billion Muslims certainly have a much louder voice than 20 million Jews, and the world will always blame Israel, even when Palestinians started the carnage. And that's exactly why Israelis are fighting the fight of their lives. They understand that the world is an unfair place, and that they cannot rely on non-existent international justice or biased global opinion. I wish I had a magic wand to make fellow Arabs, and the rest of the world, see what I see. There will never be peace without justice, and using our numbers (Muslims) to impose our narrative is one way to try to beat Israel, but not the way to peace. My voice will dissent. I want peace, and peace is incumbent on winning the trust of those we want to live in peace with, not keeping on instigating the world against them.

BREAKING: My sources in Brussels have confirmed the official EU response to the Iran conflict: 1. France has surrendered 2. Sweden offering asylum to both sides 3. Greece will ask Iran for a loan 4. Denmark offering Irani leaders free mental health counseling 5. No response from Spain (weekend) More intel to follow soon

@eleanorhayward it's not junior doctors anymore - would you be that flippant if it was a gender?

@lflindahl just sent you an email. Why is the app so shitty it can't save my purchase status? Your ticket team are useless in fixing as well. Sad because I love the product otherwise

Finally Heathrow is getting a lot better for Americans coming in - no more extra security checks coming soon on arrival viewfromthewing.com/starting-tuesd…

Had the pleasure of bumping into @chrisyeh at the @raiseconference in Sf last week - I mentioned Blitzscaling was on our main bookshelf in London and he was kind enough to give us a signed bookmark to go inside. Thanks Chris! @HoxtonVentures

@rod_mallo And hair plugs too it seems

Damn, a Zeppelin crash isn't something I'd expect to see in 2024

So, is it Hassan Nasrallah, Ali Karaki or Abu Ali Rida who has been the deep cover Mossad agent for the last 40 years? I'm only asking questions...

@OnDisasters @avherald There's an awful lot of empty sky in that area at that FL for a TCAS warning

#Breaking Two passengers were injured when a United B-757 responded to a TCAS warning over Wyoming (US). According to @avherald aircraft was enroute at FL380 “when the crew responded to a TCAS resolution advisory”. Two pax were hurt on the maneuver, one seriously. Crew continued enroute and landed at their destination without any issues. Jet was operating asFlight UA-2428 from Newark, NJ to San Francisco, CA. Aircraft registration was N12125. More updates when possible. #aviation

@lufthansa I can't add my frequent flyer number online. How can I get human help??? My eurobonus number errors out every time.

@blakadder_ I just found your great posts on the Smatek 8" panels. Have you happened to work on the 10" ones at all? I came into one but it seems more locked down than the smaller models...

Finance crime happens fast these days. This weekend in Detroit -- forbes.com/sites/robkniaz…

@mr_james_c Poor Nixon would have gotten off scot free today

🧵 I think a lot about how far the mainstream media has fallen from their role as a check on political power. It makes me wonder why. Think back to Watergate, WaPo journalists Woodward & Bernstein broke the story. They were immortalised in the film All the President's Men.

@PushinPixls Amen

In the last 4 weeks Labour have: - scrapped the Rwanda Plan - promised to grant asylum to ~90k who were destined to go there - told every community in the land they “will take their fair share” knowing that many voted against immigration only weeks earlier - announced the closure of the Bibby Stockholm so undocumented, unvetted people who have no right to be here can enjoy the comfort of hotels while poor native Brits live in overcrowded slums - reinstated funding of UNRWA and other foreign aid projects while raising taxes on hard working Brits - failed to denounce or adequately police ethnic minority riots in Harehills and protesters outside a Rotherham police station after 3 officers were seriously assaulted (on camera) Taking away *all and any hope* that addressing legitimate concerns about mass immigration will be a priority of this government, with the backdrop of weekly antisemitic/western protests and a never ending stream of abhorrent violent crimes perpetrated by people of migrant descent is why we’re seeing disgusting scenes on our streets. Starmer is either incompetent or deliberately set out to send a strong ‘Fuck You’ signal to millions of people who did not lend Labour their vote. Anyway, it’s great to see the adults are back in charge!

@AndySlater The only crime was admitting it! "Officer, I thought I had a DVT and was just trying to improve my circulation." Dade County jail isn't so nice trust me.

NEW: There was an arrest inside the Admirals Club lounge at Miami International Airport on Monday night. A man was caught masturbating in front of a urinal while watching porn on his phone, a senior law-enforcement source tells me. He later admitted it to cops.
