I spent 19 years mispronouncing my name so others will be able to say it. I wrote this poem about learning/unlearning that habit.

I'm starting a new series with Al Jazeera, taking over their excellent geopolitics show Pinch Point. This is our first episode:

While the world talks of a Palestinian state, Israel is playing a different game to surround, slice up and claim the occupied West Bank. Piece by piece, Israel is playing out strategies first perfected in ancient China. For Pinch Point, Al Jazeera's Mohamed Hassan explains ⤵️

The United States is committed to countering China’s corrupt influence in Central America. Today the @StateDept is announcing a new visa restriction policy that will restrict U.S. visas for Central American nationals, and their immediate family members, who are intentionally

The Church you visited, Tommy? Its keys are held by two Muslim families, the Nuseibehs and Joudehs, guardians since Saladin’s time in 1187. Muslims protected Christianity’s holiest site for 900 years. Your ignorance, however, remains impressively unprotected. @TRobinsonNewEra

Gaza in a thousand faces https://t.co/HBRx8pZtnQ via @AJEnglish

Some boats are still sailing to Gaza I repeat Israel has not managed to intercept all the boats The Global Sumud Flotilla is still sailing 7.55am Good morning Palestine

Happy birthday to Refaat. Fun fact about Refaat's birthday, Refaat was born on September 28, but the officer who registered his birth wrote 23 by mistake.

Barrack seems to confirm Israel's involvement in the drone attack on the flotilla, even though Israel itself hasn't

HUGE HUGE NEWS FROM EGYPT!! Egyptian President Sisi has issued a presidential pardon for activist and blogger @Alaa Abdel Fattah.

The Arab Gulf States should take advantage of the H-1B visa disruption in the US and attract these highly skilled individuals most of whom work in the A.I. and tech field to settle and work here.

I will never forget the day a producer at LBC tried to tell me “there’s no such thing as Palestine”.

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him. We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why @MagnumGlobal must #FreeBenAndJerrys See Jerry’s full message at https://t.co/p8Qqyw3Ei5 and be part of the campaign.

A homogenous Jewish State is coterminous with the idea of "West" in erasing Jewish history outside of Europe and repressing subversive Jewish cultural identities as antitheses. Reposting @mohamedwashere's podcast with an evocative and thoughtful Avi Shlaim

Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide. I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here: https://t.co/Aouot49mp5

happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites

Israel’s attack on Qatar has shaken the country’s image as a safe haven for travellers and diplomats. For #BetweenUs, Al Jazeera's @vpietromarchi describes hearing the explosions and following the smoke through Doha to the scene of the deadly strike.

I continue to stress to my fellow citizens: Stop cosplaying as a revolutionary. Talk to folks in other parts of the world, like El Salvador, Lebanon, or Vietnam to get a sense of what societal collapse really looks like in practice. Coffee shop revolutionaries need to stop.

BREAKING: Journalist Mohammed Ashraf Salama, one of Middle East Eye’s main reporters in Gaza, has been killed in an Israeli strike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. Our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and loved ones.

The problems in our society are not caused by refugees. They are caused by an unjust economic system that is rigged in the favour of the super-rich.
