Rest in Power David Hirst -- Journalist, fearless critic, legend theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…
Ruth Keshishian rest in power. I will sorely miss you. cyprus-mail.com/2025/08/10/she…
"Thanks to @Channel4 for picking it up late in the day [after the #BBC refused to air it], Gaza: Doctors Under Attack now exists in the world, and it has never been more evident that this is a work that demands to be seen. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
Thank you @Channel4 for airing this important documentary channel4.com/programmes/gaz…
It's impossible to say how much I LOVE @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The exhaustion on this woman's face... One of the quarter of a million Afghans who fled/were forcibly returned from Iran in June alone (700,000 since the start of the year) in the wake of deportation orders and attacks by Israel. @AANafgh afghanistan-analysts.org/en/the-daily-h…
"And the people of the Middle East will pay the highest price for yet another reckless war built on a lie." #Iran theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"#Israel’s desire for my motherland is an #Iran unravelled, its fabric shredded along ethnic lines, a nation undone by design - another carefully engineered fracture in the region." Thanks @ramitanavai
BBC has allowed itself to be scooped. It shouldn't have sat on @ramitanavai @bendepear's 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack', finally, today, deciding not to broadcast it. How shameful: to be bullied by the pro-Israeli lobby into silence when health workers are being targeted and killed

Thank you @azadehpourzand. Personally, It's been difficult in these awful days to give words to what I'm feeling. Thank you for doing it for me. #Iran youtube.com/watch?v=2uApRC…
Judging by your other post, you obviusly don't.

What does “Evacuate Tehran” even mean? Tehran is home to 10 million human beings — it holds the country’s critical infrastructure, hospitals, government institutions, kindergartens, primary schools, universities, laboratories, homes, prisons, factories, industrial zones…
A gritty and nuanced long read from @AANafgh's @rachelreid6 on the history of the Afghan human rights movement and its continuing struggle under the Taliban. afghanistan-analysts.org/en/themed-repo…
Getting married is expensive and #Afghanistan is no exception. But some Afghan couples are getting married in group ceremonies. In this instalment of The Daily Hustle we hear about a couple who decided to get married in just such a wedding. bit.ly/3H2oKpy
