I lived in Lebanon for 15 years, and during that time I visited southern Lebanon more times than I can remember.
The first few times I went to the Israeli-Lebanese border, there was just a fence.
You could see the beautiful farms on the Israeli side. Sometimes you’d notice people going about their work, and every now and then an Israeli patrol passing between the double fence.
On the Lebanese side, I saw the Shia villages, people immersed in a culture of sacred violence.
Flags everywhere. Images of Khamenei, Hassan Nasrallah, and Hezbollah fighters. Slogans on buildings that made everything feel heavy and ugly.
A few years later, Israel reinforced the fence. There had been harassment of soldiers, and more security was needed. Still, you could catch glimpses of the other side, the contrast remained.
A couple of years later, I was sad when I went to the usual spot and found a massive wall. All I could see was the ugliness on our side.
Israel never initiated aggression against us. It was pushed to build checkpoints, fences, and walls, and when necessary, to come in and deal with those who know nothing but death.
Mario frames his post as if Israel wants to occupy and control Lebanon, when in reality Israel is doing what the incompetent Lebanese government failed to do for decades.
Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbors. It is the neighbors, driven by a divine mandate to erase Israel, who keep bringing out the worst in it.
@seuriusan@jktoday@antonioguterres@GlobeWatchX It's also worth noting that Hitler believed Islam was perhaps the only religion truly compatible with Nazi ideology.
He even had an entire branch of the S.S. made up entirely of radical Muslims.
Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling.
This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith.
Mark Ruffalo: “Don't let AIPAC, a foreign lobbying group, buy our politicians and control what the United States does. Vote for a politician who will be working for you, not for a foreign entity who drags us into wars and cares nothing for the American people. ”
They shot a 14 year old child.
Then blocked the ambulance reaching him.
Then laughed as they watched him die.
This is what the IOF does every day - murder children with impunity and laugh as they do it.
Mr. Presiden @prabowo ..⚘️
If there is genuine concern for humanity, then the message must be clear: stop the killings and violence in Palestine now. Human lives are not numbers, and justice must not wait.
Don’t be lulled by Trump’s speeches because Trump often uses dramatic praise language (great, strong, respected, etc.). That is characteristic of his communication style, not something unusual in the context of a speech.
Palestine 💔🥀

here's how I optimized video assets on my site and improved perceived performance:
- added a tiny ( ~30px wide ) `base64` encoded blurred inline image for each snippet, rendered as an underneath the video ( renders instantly! )
- moved all the videos to @Cloudflare CDN. previously was using @nextjs `/public` local path. which was fine when I had only 2-3 videos
- added both `.webm` and `.mp4` formats via elements ( .mp4 as fallback in case browser doesn't support )
Dear @jk_rowling,
Sina Ashgbousi was a true Harry Potter fan, the kind who believed in magic because the world needed it.🪄
For his birthday, they brought Sina Ashkboosi a Hogwarts letter.
They took him to Café Platform in Tehran. The Sorting Hat was placed on his head.
He wore Slytherin robes and a green scarf, held a wand in his hand, and blew out his birthday candles like a kid living inside his favorite story.
Days later, in Tehran, he was shot by a bullet and turned into a name that must never be forgotten.
In memory of Sina, forever 17 years old 🪄
“The U.S. government has a Jew problem”.
America is “owned” “funded by Israel”.
“Move to Israel”.
These statements were all made by Shelly Arnoldi, the possible Chair of the Fairfax VA Republican Committee.
This antisemite doesn’t belong anywhere near politics.
Love Story in the West Bank DESTROYS Israeli Propaganda on Area A
ISRAELI OFFICER CROSSES INTO WEST BANK'S AREA A FOR PALESTINIAN BOYFRIEND
👮♀️ An Israeli Border Police officer left her base, ignored military orders, and entered Area A in the West Bank in full uniform to see a Palestinian man she was romantically involved with.
🚨 Israeli media and security instantly panicked, claiming fears of abduction and harm, launching searches and surveillance sweeps.
📹 Footage later showed the truth. She went voluntarily. No coercion. No threat. No kidnapping.
🤝 Palestinian security coordinated her safe return, with the Palestinian man himself escorting her to a handover point.
📰 Israeli outlets still framed it as a “rescue,” because admitting she chose to cross the wall willingly collapses the entire narrative.
Israel tells its citizens that Area A is deadly, forbidden, and full of danger. One soldier walked in anyway, not for orders or force, but for love, and came back unharmed.
That is not a security failure. That is the propaganda failing in real time.
