Someone watched that little ones every move for the 1st months of their life, worried about their milk intake, their sleep & development. Dressed them, brushed their hair. Kissed their cheeks 1000s of times, that little ones whose body was held up against the flames with no head

You should be absolutely terrified by a society where leading publications start arguing that killing children is legal. If anything is a code red alarm, this is it.

I haven't posted much here in the last year. It's felt empty and jarring next to the realities of what is happening in the world. My friend sent me this today though, and maybe it speaks to you too

For context - 1 million displaced is ~ 1/5th of the population. And roughly 2 of the 5.2 million Lebanese population are already refugees from Syria and Palestine.

Incredible Bloomberg data visualization that clearly shows what’s actually going on between Israel and Lebanon. First, despite all the talk of the threat of Hezbollah rockets hitting Israel, it’s actually Israel that’s consistently firing far more rockets over the border.

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

BREAKING: Israel dropped white phosphorus bombs on a health center in the heart of Beirut. These are internationally banned munitions, and Israel is using them against Lebanese doctors and nurses.

Welcome to the Health Pavilion at #COP29! I invite leaders to visit us -- we share positive, renewable energy for clear lungs and healthy minds. Health can be a game changer for #ClimateAction – because it matters to everyone.

Dear friend Dr Patrick Hart has just been sentenced to 12 months - when questioned by the judge, he said “my whole life has been in service of life, and as long there is air in my lungs I will do what I can to uphold that.” May we be even half as moral and brave 💔
