Check out our @ContinuumAAN chapter on Adult-Onset Leukodystrophies Mimicking #MultipleSclerosis. Although individually rare, these disorders represent a diagnostic challenge when assessing for MS. Enjoyed working with R.LaPiana on this ! continuum.aan.com/doi/abs/10

Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre. Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Happy to share our study on the discrepancy between subjective and objective cognitive impairment in #MultipleSclerosis - evaluating cognition in multiple domains decreases this discrepancy and helps corroborating patients’ complaints @MSJ_Research journals.sagepub.com/doi/epu

After destroying the town church, the Israeli occupation forces demolished the historic nun’s monastery and school in Yaroun, southern Lebanon despite the local Christians calls to preserve their heritage. Is this also an isolated incident?

BREAKING Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Aadshit al-Qusayr, South Lebanon right now — during a ceasefire. Civilian homes. No justification. Just deliberate terror and destruction to ensure civilians have nothing left to return to. A war crime in broad daylight.

🚹BREAKING🚹Israeli forces are now issuing direct death threats to Lebanese journalists on WhatsApp as well as besieging them. Al-Akhbar correspondent @AmalKhalil83, who has been documenting the devastation across southern Lebanon, received these messages from an Israeli number ( 972 54-869-5113): “We know where you are
 we will reach you
 leave if you want to keep your head on your shoulders.” First message: “Alright, my lady, you are moving from one village to another, but you still haven’t gone to enough funerals or hospitals. There is a lot of grief & sorrow behind that smile you try to show on Twitter. Let’s see what your answer will be
 Is your house still standing, Anisa (Miss)? I hope so?” Second message: “We know where you are & we will reach you when the time comes. Even though you are not important to us, in the end we will take everything into account. I suggest you flee to Qatar or somewhere else if you want to keep your head connected to your shoulders :)” This is not intimidation. This is the IDF issuing an explicit death threat to a journalist for covering their crimes. At the same time, Israeli forces besieged Amal al-Khalil & journalist Zeinab Faraj in al-Tayri, blocking the Red Cross & Lebanese Army from reaching them. They were in a delegate vehicle when a drone strike hit a vehicle behind them, killing two people. Both journalists were trapped at the scene. Amal contacted the Red Cross before her phone died. Her last message confirmed she was still safe. Rescue teams still cannot reach the two besieged journalists, Amal al-Khalil & Zeinab Faraj. They are just 500 meters away, but the road has been cut off by an Israeli strike, according to Red Cross paramedics. This is targeting journalists in real time. This is a crime. Pure state terrorism against the press.

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes. Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously. This isn’t a ceasefire. It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.

Israel is brazenly granting itself carte blanche to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards. The new law dismantles fundamental safeguards to prevent the arbitrary deprivation of life and protect the right to a fair trial. It further empowers Israel’s system of apartheid, which is maintained by scores of discriminatory laws against Palestinians. amnestyusa.org/press-release

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Among the victims are Dr. Murtada Srour, regarded as one of Lebanon’s leading physics experts, and Dr. Hussein Bazzi, director of the Faculty of Sciences at the Lebanese University.

L’annonce de bombardements israĂ©liens massifs sur Beyrouth-Sud et d’une nouvelle invasion terrestre fait planer sur le Liban le retour aux heures les plus sombres. Elle s’inscrit dans une conception illimitĂ©e des intĂ©rĂȘts de sĂ©curitĂ© qui, sous prĂ©texte de protection, prive un pays dĂ©jĂ  exsangue de toute chance de stabilitĂ© politique, sociale et Ă©conomique, clĂ© d’une dĂ©militarisation indispensable du Hezbollah. Car il faut aussi le dire : la logique d’escalade du Hezbollah, aventureuse et irresponsable, enferme le Liban dans une guerre qui n’est pas la sienne. Elle transforme tout un peuple en bouclier et en monnaie d’échange, et compromet la possibilitĂ© mĂȘme d’un État souverain. Le Liban n’a pas besoin d’une guerre de plus. Il a besoin d’un État, d’institutions, d’un horizon. À force de traiter ce territoire comme une zone grise oĂč tout serait permis, on fabrique l’inverse de la sĂ©curitĂ© : on fabrique la revanche, la radicalisation, le chaos. La France ne peut pas trahir l’esprit de son amitiĂ© ancienne et profonde pour le Liban en se rĂ©fugiant dans le silence ou dans des formules d’équilibre qui ne nomment pas les choses. Être l’ami d’un peuple, ce n’est pas l’abandonner au fait accompli. C’est dĂ©fendre le droit, la protection des civils, et une voie de dĂ©sescalade. « Non Ă  la guerre. » Oui Ă  la souverainetĂ© du Liban. Oui au droit, partout, sans deux poids deux mesures.
