i've seen Israel humiliate previous US administrations, but aside from murderous 1967 Israeli airstrike against US navy ship Liberty, now forcing USA to do airdrops of aid to Gaza as if USA is no better than Egypt & Jordan is Israel's worst humiliation of USA i've ever seen.

Read this by @fordrs58 “I attended meetings with the National Security Council whose members said small-scale attacks with only a few casualties did not cross the red line. No one knew how many casualties were necessary to cross the line.” #Syria

I am told residents in hard-hit areas by #BeirutBlast are refusing to take #Iranian food donations. At their greatest time of need, #Lebanese are rejecting #Iranian assistance. #Iransoftpower

Where is the international outrage? Has the world become so desensitized to wars & deaths in the #Arab region?

Will #US news outlets interview #Palestinian prisoners released by #Israel to share their stories, their broken dreams with the American public? Or are #Palestinian lives not worthy of storytelling?

After eight years behind Israeli prison bars, Malak Salman, a former Palestinian female prisoner, embraces her mother. Salman and 38 others were released tonight in a prisoner swap deal between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation.

Can journalists please not buy into this narrative of withdrawal of #US combat troops from #Iraq ? There are no combat troops in #Iraq . US forces in Iraq have had an advisory & training mission for a while. There is nothing new here.

This is a very bad development. Anti-semitism like Islamophobia should be condemned. Period.

In 🇷🇺 Makhachkala, locals storm the airport after a plane from Tel-Aviv arrives. They check passports, looking for Israelis. The police don’t interfere. #Israel #IsraelPalestine
