My youngest brother (the Nasheed artist) runs a honey business named „Believer Honey“.
The way it works: straight from the honeycomb into the glass. No processing or chemicals, and the entire production is usually sold out within a few weeks, all via Instagram and WhatsApp. (1/2)
Türk kardeşlerimiz bazı Afganlar tarafından dolandırılıyor.
Bazılarınızın bildiği gibi, annemin "Afganistan'ın Unutulanları" adlı organizasyonu, Afganistan'da yüzlerce kuyu inşa etti, iki kız okulu işletiyor ve orada birçok başka projeye destek sağlıyor.
Bu kuyulardan biri bir bağışla inşa edildi, ancak yakın zamanda orijinal tabelanın kaldırılıp yerine başka bir tabela konduğunu fark ettik. Yeni tabelada vefat eden bir kişi, Mahmut Bilgiç Bey'in adı yazıyor. Dolandırıcı, Bilgiç Bey’in anısına bir kuyu inşa etmek için birisinden para aldı, ancak bunun yerine mevcut kuyumuzun tabelasını değiştirdi ve bağışçıya sanki kuyuyu onun fonlarıyla yapmış gibi bir fotoğraf gönderdi.
Bu dolandırıcılığı durdurmak istiyoruz. Eğer Bilgiç Bey’in ailesini tanıyan biri varsa, lütfen bizimle iletişime geçsin, böylece dolandırıldıklarını onlara bildirebiliriz. Bu durumun başkalarının da başına gelmiş olmasından endişe duyuyoruz.
Afganistan’a on yıllardır cömertçe destek veren Türk kardeşlerimiz bunu hak etmiyor. Lütfen bu mesajı yaygın bir şekilde paylaşın.
Our Turkish brothers and sisters are being scammed by some Afghan.
As some of you know, my mother’s organization, "The Forgotten of Afghanistan," has built hundreds of wells, runs two girls' schools, and supports many other projects there.
One of these wells was built with a donation, but recently, we discovered that the original sign was removed and replaced with a different one. The new sign shows the name of a deceased person, a Mr. Mahmut Bilgic. The scammer took money from someone to build a well in Mr. Bilgic's memory but instead just swapped the sign on our existing well and sent the donor a photo, pretending it was built with their funds.
We want to stop this scam. If anyone knows the family of Mr. Bilgic, please help us contact them so they know they’ve been scammed. We’re also concerned that this might be happening to others.
Our Turkish brothers and sisters, who have generously supported Afghanistan for decades, do not deserve this. Please share this message widely.

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

This photo from Gaza will be in history books but not in the way those posing for the selfie think

Hey Mayim, let me tell you about how I understood what was going on as a child. No one explained it to me. No one read stories to me.
1. I was tear-gassed at school when I was 6 years old(the whole school).
2. My first classmate was killed when I was 8.
3. My neighbor was assassinated when I was 9. (I cried that day.)
4. Around 20 soldiers stormed our neighborhood and wanted to arrest me and my little brother for interrogation (I was 7 and my brother was 4).
5. They stormed our home more than 8 times (I can recount them to you as if they happened this morning).
6. They arrested my father and made me put my hands on a wall when I was 7. (It was at the Shejaia entrance, and I still remember my white sneakers.)
7. They shot at us while we were playing on December 22, 1992 (I was turning 8. I remember because it was my birthday).
8. They arrested my oldest brother when I was 5 years old.
9. I was forced to shower in cold water or very hot water because Israelis used a mechanical stone-thrower that broke all windows and solar panels (which we used to warm water) - that's why I hated showering for some time.
10. They woke us up in the middle of the night a few times. Once, I opened my eyes at the age of 6 to feel a soldier's boots near my head and his gun in my face (I was sleeping on the floor).
This is a children’s book that was written because the author was trying to explain what’s going on in Israel to his five-year-old daughter and he couldn’t find a resource with which to do it so he wrote one himself. Under the Rockets' Glow: Shira's Journey to Courage by Roman Sandler is beautiful and I recommended highly.

Why is the @UniWestminster hosting the leader of a military insurgency? Why is it okay for a university to bring on a speaker who is preaching armed conflict through a Zoom call and attempting to drive our country towards another conflict? What if the roles were reversed and a university in the 3rd world were hosting outlets that were vowing attacks in your part of the world, would that be acceptable to you? That would be terrorism, right? Then, why the double standards?

Übrigens: Der israelische Geheimdienst hat mittlerweile alle Opferzahlen aus Gaza bestätigt. Wo sind eigentlich all die Skeptiker und Obergscheiden der letzten Wochen? Ihr habt Journalisten angegriffen und Tausende von Opfer entmenschlicht. Schämt euch.

One of the comments says it quite well: “Just like in South Africa”, when Apartheid ended.

So basically Paddy Cosgrave got cancelled for raising the question that's now being considered by the International Court of Justice.

two bombings one day apart killing civilians, two BBC frontpage headlines describing them. In the first, the bombing is an indisputable fact, the guilty party is named explicitly, and they say it's done intentionally. In the second, it's just a disputed claim by an evil entity

War is not the act of killing but achieving your goals & forcing your enemy into your desired outcome is. So by that Standard, yes the Taliban won the war & are ruling Afghanistan stronger than ever & more experienced than ever.

This says all we need to know about “the only democracy in the region”:
99% conviction rate when the suspect is Palestinian.
3% conviction rate when the suspect is not Palestinian.
As #Israelis and #Palestinians taken prisoner are exchanged, many have been surprised to learn Israel holds Palestinians including children in indefinite detention. For some important data points, check out @CarnegieEndow's factsheet.

The father of the little girl Reem used her earring like a badge because it’s the only souvenir from his beloved daughter.
