Mockery of Muslim women who wear the niqab today at the Unite The Kingdom hate march. These fake patriots don't give a toss about the UK or celebrating British culture, they're just obsessed with hating on Muslims and Islam.

I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London. The Prevent folks, counter-terrorism police, the entire British media would be all over the story, asking why Muslims are so extreme & brainwashing their kids.

Asia's oldest living organism, the ancient Abarkuh cypress tree - at least 4500 years old - is rooted in land that was already known as Iran at the time.

🇩🇪What happened to German legal scholars who once contributed to develop int’l law? Where are the think tanks/foundations that once drove debates on justice? Fellow Germans: please wake up and help face the crisis your country is helping to shape at the heart of Europe. Again.

Video shows German police violently hitting and pepper-spraying protesters as thousands gathered in Berlin to mark the 78th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba.

Today, Israel killed 10 in Lebanon, including 2 paramedics. Since the Iran War started, Israel has already killed 2833 in Lebanon.

From "cradle of human rights", Europe is turning into a hub for (apparent or self-confessed) war criminals. Germany is a textbook case of reckoning with the past going, not just wrong: rotten.

Israel is Raping Palestinians with Dogs: "The soldiers brought in several dogs, one of them urinated on me, one of the dogs then raped me, penetrating my anus in a trained manner when I was being beaten"

This article by Robert Kagan is worth reading. It is a searing assessment of the catastrophic failure of the Israel-U.S. war on Iran, calling it a defeat. It is also perhaps best captures how Iran sees things and why it is not submitting to Trump’s demands in the talks 👇🏼 “There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done. The Strait of Hormuz will not be “open,” as it once was. With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure. President Trump likes to talk about who has “the cards,” but whether he has any good ones left to play is not clear. The United States and Israel pounded Iran with devastating effectiveness for 37 days, killing much of the country’s leadership and destroying the bulk of its military, yet couldn’t collapse the regime or exact even the smallest concession from it. Now the Trump administration hopes that blockading Iran’s ports will accomplish what massive force could not. It’s possible, of course, but a regime that could not be brought to its knees by five weeks of unrelenting military attack is unlikely to buckle in response to economic pressure alone.” theatlantic.com/international/…

Many things about “Snow,” the photographer Sohrab Hura’s new volume of images from Kashmir, feel incomplete—but purposefully so, as if partially occluding our gaze might also focus it. Each of the 175 photos sits by itself, square and silent, on a white page, without a jot of text to indicate when and where it was taken, or what it depicts. There’s no introductory or concluding essay, merely a couple of notes. And finally, there’s barely any direct sign of the conflict that has, for decades, eaten into the very bones of Kashmir, a territory claimed so ferociously by India and Pakistan that they’ve fought several wars over it, pushing its people into anger, ruin, and, since the 1980s, armed uprisings against Indian rule. The standard lexicon of documentary photos from Kashmir includes army convoys and barricades, soldiers and protestors, fear and hostility. In “Snow,” “I spotted armed troops only twice: once in a small, loose coterie ambling near a railway line, and again in an image of a single man attired pudgily in both camo and winterwear, standing in a patch of brambly land, his helmet on the ground next to him. All these officers seem unsure of what to do or where to look—which is entirely unlike the Indian military’s brutal, relentless approach to holding Kashmir,” Samanth Subramanian writes.

With “Snow,” Sohrab Hura evokes the paralysis of Kashmir, a territory claimed so ferociously by India and Pakistan that they’ve fought several wars over it, pushing its people into anger, ruin, and, since the 1980s, armed uprisings against Indian rule.

The tyranny of this irony: CM, in addition to running away in marathons, is selling dreams of investment in education in Bengaluru while a leading educational institute back home is declared unlawful!
