People really don’t appreciate how friendly so many Americans are, even at the first encounter — it’s long been clear to me
I didn’t expect this but Americans are ridiculously good at small talk.
In the UK if a stranger starts chatting to you, you immediately assume they want something or want to rob you.
Here people are just… nice?

after watching this film I understood why it was my late grandfather’s (who was uprooted and displaced as a child during Al Nakba) favorite film ever
Alexandria ... Why? (1979) - dir. Youssef Chahine
اسكندرية ... ليه (١٩٧٩) - يوسف شاهين

Allah is the Arabic word for God, and it comes from the Aramaic Elaha (or Alaha). Middle Eastern Christians refer to God as Allah daily.
Your bigotry and hate have made you anti-God himself.
F*ck Allah

Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”

Imo, this is Khorasan effectively endorsing the deal.
העיתון האיראני השמרני "חוראסאן", המזוהה בדרך כלל עם הקו הביטחוני של המשטר, מעריך כי הסכם אפשרי בין טהראן לוושינגטון רק ידחה את העימות בין הצדדים ולא יביא לפתרונו. במאמר מערכת שפורסם היום נכתב כי יש לראות בהסכם מנגנון להפסקת הלחימה הנוכחית בלבד ולא מענה למחלוקות היסוד. העיתון טען כי העימות עם ארצות הברית, ובייחוד עם ישראל, הוא "מאבק קיומי" שיוכרע רק בניצחון של אחד הצדדים, וכי הסכם מדיני יהיה לכל היותר הפוגה זמנית לפני "העימות הסופי" @Yoav__Zehavi

Lion and Sun is a national Iranian symbol. Banning it by FIFA or anywhere else should be considered an unreasonable restriction of national expression.
Let us fly our beautiful symbol!

Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.
