Hi all! I’m still raising funds for the family of the late Palestinian football legend Sulaiman Al Obaid: his wife and their 5 children.
Sulaiman was killed last year while trying to get aid. These donations are now his family’s only source of income chuffed.org/project/145216-h…

I hate seeing other people live my dreams because me, the witnesses and even this tweet will be on the way to a tribunal to collect more money.

قصة للعظة والعبرة
أول راتب استلمته وعمري ٢٣، قال لي أبوي:
«كل شهر تحوّل لي ١٠٠».
قلت له:
«ليش يبه؟»
قال:
«حق التربية».
ضحكت، لكنه ما ضحك.
ومن يومها، كل يوم ٢٧ إذا نزل الراتب أحوّل له ١٠٠، وأكتب بالملاحظة:
«حق التربية».
ويرد علي كل مرة:
«وصل. الله يرزقك».
ولا يزيد كلمة.
حوّلتها وأنا عزوبي.
وحوّلتها شهر زواجي، والديون فوق راسي.
وحوّلتها الشهر اللي انولد فيه ولدي، وما بقي بحسابي إلا ١٤٠.
زوجتي كانت تقول:
«أبوك متقاعد وعنده بيته، وش يبي بالـ١٠٠؟»
وخوياي يقولون:
«أبوك حاط عليك ضريبة؟»
وأقول لهم:
«أبوي كذا، له طبايعه».
مرة تأخرت عليه يوم واحد.
الساعة ٧ الصبح اتصل وقال:
«عسى ما شر؟»
حوّلت له وأنا أضحك وقلت في نفسي: والله إنه دقيق بالفلوس.
ومرّت ١٢ سنة على هالحال.
قبل ٣ شهور، الشركة استغنت عني.
ما قلت لأحد، حتى زوجتي.
كل يوم ألبس ثوبي وأطلع الساعة ٧، وأقعد بالسيارة عند كوفي لين الظهر، ثم أرجع البيت كأني راجع من الدوام.
وجا يوم ٢٧… وما نزل راتب.
لأول مرة من ١٢ سنة، ما حوّلت لأبوي شيء.
بعد العشاء دق جوالي.
قال:
«ما وصلني شيء».
قلت:
«نسيت يبه، بكرة إن شاء الله».
سكت شوي، ثم قال:
«تعال الحين، بروحك».
دخلت المجلس ولقيته جالس، وقدامه دفتر قديم وظرف.
دفّ الدفتر لي وقال:
افتحه».
كل سطر فيه تاريخ، و١٠٠، واسمي.
وجنب كل سطر مكتوب وين راحت:
«برادة موية»… «كفالة يتيم»… «سلة رمضان»… «سقيا عمال».
١٤٤ سطر.
قال:
«ولا ريال من فلوسك دخل جيبي».
وعطاني جواله، وفيه صورة برادة موية عند مسجد، عليها لوحة صغيرة مكتوب فيها:
«صدقة عن ولدي، الله يحفظه».
عرفتها على طول.
هي نفس البرادة اللي عند المسجد جنب دوامي، اللي كنت أشرب منها كل يوم بعد الظهر.
سنين وأنا أشرب من صدقة أبوي عني وأنا ما أدري.
بعدها دفّ الظرف لي وقال:
«وهذا مني أنا».
فتحته، ولقيت فيه ٧٢ ألف.
قال:
«من أول راتب لك وأنا أحط هنا ٥٠٠ كل شهر».
«قلت بيجي يوم ما يوصلني منك شيء… وذاك اليوم بتكون محتاجني».
قلت:
«يبه، كيف عرفت؟»
قال:
«١٢ سنة ما تأخرت إلا يوم واحد، واليوم ما وصل شيء. ما يحتاج أحد يقول لي».
ما قدرت أتكلم.
قال:
«الـ١٠٠ عمري ما كنت أبيها. كنت أبي أعرف كل شهر إنك بخير، بدون ما أسألك وتقول لي: تمام، وأنت مو تمام».
بعد شهرين لقيت وظيفة.
أول يوم ٢٧، حوّلت له ١٠٠ وكتبت:
«حق التربية».
رد:
«وصل. الله يرزقك».
وبعدها بدقيقة، لأول مرة، جتني منه رسالة ثانية:
«ولا عاد تخبّي علي».

Why are we still so terrible at grief admin? It is hard enough to have to find the energy to cancel accounts, close bank accounts, register deaths and all the other gut wrenching tasks without these thoughtless responses.
Dear @virginmedia may I respectfully suggest that sending a letter saying, 'You couldn't have taken over the account at a more exciting time, with so much to look forward to,' is not the best way to respond to a call to your bereavement helpline. You're welcome.

Beyond awkward.
Look how the Labour candidate in Holborn and St. Pancras responded when Palestine was mentioned.
😱😱😱😱

75-90% of people with stomach cancer had an H. Pylorii infection.
Black Seed Oil is as strong as triple antibiotic therapy for H. Pylori.
Without destroying the gut, and improving your eyes, skin, hair, immune system, heart, kidneys, liver, and almost every function in your body.
That's due to thymoquinone which is responsible for most of Black Seed Oil's medicinal properties.
A meta analysis showed BSO improved almost every single organ in your body, while also fighting fungus, gut infections, and improving complexion.
I will type up a deep dive into it eventually but the benefits are plenty.

Your definition of Zionism does not matter. Nor does mine. Zionism is defined by its material manifestations. The purpose of a system is what it does. And the Zionist system does racism and genocide. Simple. Please spare me the arrogant insufferable graaating Oxbridge debates. Your opinions are irrelevant. People are dying.

Sophia Dasser is a Muslim student and the editor-in-chief of The Cornell Daily Sun, Cornell University’s independent student newspaper.
Alongside reporter Cereese Qusba, she has helped bring renewed attention to an alleged 2024 r*pe at Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity house.
Qusba spent almost two years investigating the case for The Cornell Daily Sun, examining the allegations, speaking with the woman who reported the assault and investigating how Cornell University handled the case.
The former Cornell student, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven fraternity members. She reported the incident to Cornell University Police in November 2024, but no criminal charges were initially brought.
The Sun continued investigating the case even as it received little public attention.
When Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit in September 2026, the newspaper published its investigation, bringing the allegations and Cornell’s handling of the case into the spotlight.
Dasser, as editor-in-chief, played a prominent role in deciding how the Sun would cover the case. She published an editorial directly challenging Cornell over its handling of the allegations and its lack of transparency.
Cornell had conducted a Title IX investigation and says it imposed suspensions and expulsions. The university initially refused to disclose the individual disciplinary outcomes, citing privacy laws. It later confirmed that expulsions and suspensions had been issued.
The criminal investigation, which had previously not resulted in charges, was subsequently reopened, bringing renewed scrutiny to the case and to the decisions made by Cornell and law enforcement.
The seven men named in the civil lawsuit have not been criminally convicted of r*pe, and the allegations remain subject to legal proceedings.
But the reporting by Qusba, Dasser and The Cornell Daily Sun has forced the case back into public view and raised questions about how universities respond to allegations of sexual violence.
For Dasser, it has also meant using her position as a student journalist to challenge her own university and demand answers.
A Muslim student. A student newspaper. And a case that Cornell could no longer keep out of the spotlight.
