Dubai now
Palestinian refugee camps of Burj Barajneh and Sabra and Shatila are being evacuated
These are the people who fled the Nakba and their descendants
The same state, Israel, is the cause of both

The Israeli finance minister Smotrich, who is also a deputy defense minister, threatens to turn Beirut into Khan Younis.
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
The prospect of getting through the work day under these conditions...the entire region is up in smoke and I'm supposed to attend my meetings.
What is there more to say beyond rage.
They want to "evacuate" one of the densest suburbs of Beirut and have a quarter of a million+ people just move elsewhere and accept the fate of the destruction of their homes or worse the loss of their life.
Fucking nightmare.
Widespread panic in #Beirut after Israel issues unprecedented evacuation order for southern suburbs. Traffic is choked, people rushing to leave & head north. Drones in the air. WhatsApp messages urging ppl to crack windows open to avoid shattering from expected blasts #lebanon

Israel says it will reopen the Kerem Shalom crossing, Gaza’s main gateway for aid, after U.S. pressure pushed Israeli officials to restore deliveries following days of closure, Haaretz reports. The paper says Aryeh Lightstone, a senior adviser to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, directly urged Israel to resume aid flows and override the shutdown. Israeli authorities announced Tuesday the crossing would allow the “gradual entry” of humanitarian aid, after it was closed alongside other crossings during the U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran. 🎥 Kerem Shalom is Gaza’s only entry point for aid and commercial goods, and its closure is catastrophic for the roughly 1.9 million displaced Palestinians now living mostly in tent camps. Dr. Mimi Syed ( @Memers1st ) explains.

Their lives are precious. How dare these people treat human beings this way

It's after midnight in Baghdad, I am lying in bed. Still no national grid electricity. Private generator guy turned off the generator because he wanted to give it a rest. My phone is about to die at 10% and things in Iraq are not looking reassuring at all.
I can't possibly deal with yet ANOTHER war!
NEW FROM @carolleonnig.bsky.social: "MS NOW found that in four key instances, Patel’s decision to fire FBI agents and staff came within hours or days of unflattering accounts emerging about him and his competency to run the FBI."

"The absence of justification is not incidental. It is a morbid symptom of an intl system in crisis. The certainties of the US’ hegemonic stewardship of the intl rules-based order have been deformed beyond recognition by the Gaza genocide, but no alternative architecture has cohered in their place"
so the rules of engagement are: go apeshit and make it sick
basically the definition of every crime of war in the books
Great podcast with @danaelkurd.bsky.social interviewing Danielle Cantor about the Israeli left and her group Culture of Solidarity that is active in the West Bank. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
I'm cringed out
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
Omg stop
I'm a palestinian with the right to a homeland & self determination not because my ancestors crawled out of the sea in ancient times onto the beach in yaffa as fully formed Palestinians.
I have a right to a homeland and self determination because i'm a human being.
Plz if you find yourself talking about genetics go touch grass.
The proliferation of blood and soil arguments about who belongs on a land has become seriously disturbing. Even those on the left are adopting such narratives.

Good day to teach on the difference between authoritarian and illiberal practices, and how many actors, not just states, engage in them

Israel has not “dragged the United Stares into war.”
An elite faction of the United States that identifies intensely with the interests of Israel has, with the complaisance of other factions, launched an aggressive war.
Israel figures heavily into Washington’s motives but the difference matters.
AND WHO'S FAULT IS THAT MARCO
WHO'S SUPPOSED TO PLAN FOR THAT MARCO
