"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux…
We should ask ourselves; why were people in Lebanon afraid of ISIS in 2014? What would have ISIS done? Violently attack LGBTQ persons? Go after comedians? Punish religious clerics who disagree with it? Take over banks and steal people's deposits? We're already here.

The NSO Group is running a disinformation campaign to undermine the Pegasus Project—because of course they are—but @Amnesty just demolished it:
Amnesty International categorically stands by the findings of the Pegasus Project, and that the data is irrefutably linked to potential targets of NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
So, so far, #Israel has: - Killed dozens of innocent children and adults - Killed doctors - Destroyed hospitals - Destroyed media offices - Attacked ambulances - Destroyed the roads ambulances drive on to get to the injured - Blew up schools But it's the Palestinians' fault?
Israel just intentionally destroyed press offices in Gaza, giving only one hour's warning. Associated Press President "horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy news organizations in Gaza." Imagine this was your home: apnews.com/article/israel…

You cannot make this shit up. We keep stooping lower and lower into corruption.
#BREAKING: A Lebanon court has decided to remove #BeirutBlast investigator Fadi Sawan from the case and appoint a new judge, judicial source tells me. The motion to have him removed was submitted by two suspects (former ministers) after Sawan charged them and the outgoing PM.
If you’re writing obituaries of multibillionaire Trump/GOP donor Sheldon Adelson, who has died aged 87, please don’t just airbrush out his long history of anti-Arab racism, his funding of the Islamophobia industry, or his support for *nuking* Iran. Thanks. nytimes.com/2021/01/12/bus…
