I think you need to be informed my friend. At least try to see different points of view despite your version of the truth.
But let’s not even debate that. Today, and in front of our eyes, genocide is happening for over a week. Not by the people of Gaza. We’re all watching the…

Hope you’ll never witness the cruelty of war and the helplessness you feel as bombs drop from the sky. I’ve witnessed war as a child and I tell you, there is nothing more terrifying then the sound, smell, destruction and death from bombs. Irrespective of your beliefs, just think…

Wow look at all that luxury.. are you jealous? Would you want to live there and basque in all that freedom? In all that luxury? They are so spoilt these Gazans… perhaps it makes you happy now that all that ‘luxury’ has been raised off the face of the earth along with the spoilt…
@paulg
Finally.. someone from the global tech community is acting like a normal human being. Thank you 🙏🏻
It’s amazing how you’re being attacked just for sharing facts. It shows how deranged and sadistic people have become.
@vonderleyen
Restore hope??? Seriously? You restore hope by sanctioning the killing of 10,000+ people?
Please tell us what a lasting peace on top of a mass grave would look like? Help us imagine

Choose the team you work with wisely. Your future depends on it, your sanity depends on it, your progress depends on it, your brain cells depend on it, your pocket depends on it... point being, it’s vital.
Lebanon today:
1/ Middle class families have lost access to their savings. If you had savings in US$, you can only withdraw in LBP at a fraction of the ‘market’ exchange rate
Best thing you’ll see on the internet today.

This deserved to be retweeted in the thousands!! Let’s spread good energy and positive news for once and beat those algorithms of doom!!
@SethGRosenberg
So how does it end? By levelling the entire strip and expelling its 2 million residents? Is that the solution? More death and destruction?
Sneak peak!! Coming soon my conversation with Sonia Weymuller

When you stress and beat yourself up for failing to keep up with that to do list or failing to keep up with being ‘supermom’ and then you get that moment of clarity.. Would it matter 5 years from now? Not really. So

and focus on priorities is what I tell myself.
Local e-commerce sites should focus on afterservice. Having a wide range of products is nice, having a good buying experience is nice, but having to jump through hoops to return an item is not nice.. ruins the experience.

Startups are like child birth. At some point you forget how painful those first years were until you stumble upon an old folder with documents and thoughts and plans and failed attempts...

As long as the people let them get away with it, they will.
This incredible behaviour has been happening for months now and what did the Lebanese do? Nothing.
Instead of revolving, many relied on family members abroad who send fresh $$.
So why would the status quo change?
@sama
I tell you what you can do about it…
You should seek to promote ‘discourse’ with all the power that you have. I don’t want to say ‘peace’ because people would think it’s naive and that things are ‘complicated’. As a democracy, the US is built on discourse.
If you think…

Facebook reminded me of my experience on The Entrepreneur show, 6 years ago! Nabbesh carries on and the message is still the same, let’s eradicate unemployment in the region. A BHAG, but a vision nevertheless!
I wonder, how many "no"s can I take in a week? "No"s are at the heart of life, no doubt! Am not one who likes a "no". But these days, a "no" is an opportunity to think about the other options that are out there, to re-evaluate, to get closure and sometimes to move on!

The same evil that kills thousands of 3 year olds… it’s unfolding right now in front of our eyes btw.
But for some reason some people tend to not see the evil being done to Gazans.
Many people (that I’ve never met) ask me for things, mostly my time, my feedback, pick my brains, contribute to research etc. not once has anyone offered me something in return!
If you want a stranger’s time/ help, at least have something to offer. No one has time to squander..
People can be so rude when they hide behind their social media or email or any form of written communication. Best way to put a rude person in their place is to pick up the phone and call them when they don’t expect it... then they behave
