If a terror attack killed 86 kids in a US elementary school, our media would be providing wall to wall coverage, interviewing families, providing names & background on the victims.
They don’t want us to know the human stories.
The lies sit easier when we’re kept in the dark.

The wife of Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh is pleading with the world to intervene urgently to save his life, asserting that "his only crime was saving the lives of the wounded," and demanding immediate action before he dies in prison.
Don't let this become just another news item; talk about it.

Incredible… the story is actually not a parody.
just had confirmed live on BBC Breakfast, from here in Davos, that yes, President Trump sent THAT note to the Norwegian PM saying that because they hadn’t given the Nobel Peace Prize, he could now justify owning Greenland.

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

devastating speech by the UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs.
"...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you"
"[in the West Bank] recently [Jewish] settlers abducted a 13 year old girl and her three-year-old brother. They were found tied to a tree. Do we also say to them that we did all that we could?"
