Today is a very emotional one for my Syrian husband who has not been able to go home for 14 years. We are hoping this new regime will respect Syrian heritage and signals a new beginning for his country. #peaceinsyria

The new Lebanon-Israel peace deal is not just old wine in new bottles. It has the potential to draw NATO states more deeply into the conflict. Our latest on #lebanon @cruffa.bsky.social theconversation.com/israel-hezbo...

World feminism in crisis: Palestine and the betrayal of solidarity

This story by my @washingtonpost.com colleagues about the toll of Israel's air war on Lebanon's children is devastating. "The bodies of the adults had long since been retrieved. Pieces of the children, though, were still being found everywhere." www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...

A UN-backed panel has warned that famine is “imminent” in the Gaza Strip, days before a deadline imposed on Israel by the Biden administration to deliver more humanitarian supplies to the enclave or risk a cutoff of military aid.

U.N.-Backed Panel Urges ‘Immediate Action’ in Gaza to Avert Famine

The warning focused on the north comes as the Biden administration has set a mid-November deadline for Israel to deliver more humanitarian supplies to the enclave or face a cutoff of weapons aid.

Why are cats so wretchedly suspicious? Any sudden movement and my cat jumps 50 feet in the air. A new batch of wet food is always sniffed cautiously. I’ve had him 4 years. You’d think he’d know by now I am not out to get him. 🙄
