I wrote about Drake’s years long flirtation with Arabic & Arab culturs, his new DJ Khaled diss & how Palestine is often used as a celebrity litmus test, even as Israel’s genocide & Palestinians themselves are ignored . newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dr…

Israel has been striking very close to Tyre's @UNESCO World Heritage sites since 2024. Now it has reportedly knocked the capital off a Roman column.
Reporting from the historic city of Tyre for @TheNationalNews. We saw clear damage at one of the archaeological sites, where wreckage was scattered among ancient Roman ruins and a column had been broken by an Israeli strike on Sunday. The attack targeted, and completely obliterated, a heritage house just a few metres away.
The area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which legally protects landmarks or areas legally because of their “outstanding value to humanity.”

Twenty-two states, all allies of Canada, express their “profound concern regarding the catastrophic humanitarian situation that persists in Gaza" & condemn moves to thwart the work of humanitarian orgs.
Canada has declined to sign on. Why @AnitaAnandMP?

As U.S. and Israeli bombs fell on Iran, the country's strict child welfare system was forced to break with decades of practice, placing infants in private homes to shield them from attacks and challenging public perceptions of motherhood.

I’m not even a sports person but this essay was a pleasure to read. You can tell how close to @DannyPostel’s heart the topic is by watching him break it down in this video :
WATCH: @DannyPostel dives into his latest essay reviewing the new Netflix series and book about the Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, whose primal energy and uncanny intensity made watching him play an ecstatic experience that transcended the sport.
