In a searing piece for The New #Arab, #Palestinian #journalist Abubaker Abed, from #Gaza, writes:

“For 538 days, I mistakenly believed that the #Muslim world would come to our aid… I ask you now: How can you rejoice while we are wrapped in shrouds? How can you wear your finest clothes while we are wrapped in shrouds? How can you enjoy sweets while the children in my neighbourhood draw food in the sand?”

On my medieval food research, I have found an article which talks about almond milk and almond oil with cookbooks that date back to 10th century Baghdad. This coupled with how Almonds entered China in the Tang makes me wonder if any would have consumed it since almonds never gained popularity in China.

Here's a good article on almond milk's Arabic history: middleeastvegansociety.org/blo.

Middle East Vegan SocietyThe Historical and Culinary Journey of Almond Milk and Oil in Medieval Arab Cuisine — Middle East Vegan SocietyAlmond milk is made by soaking ground almonds in water and then extracting the liquid, which means it isn’t technically ‘milk’. In medieval Arab cookbooks, it is often called duhn al-lawz (دهن اللوز, ‘almond oil’), but sometimes referred to as mā’ al-lawz (ماء اللوز, ‘almond water’) or halīb al-lawz

Boy, it's a great all those #Arab & #Muslim groups told their followers to help get trump elected. Yeah, he'll do something... he'll support the Israeli right-wingers who's wet dream is the destruction of every living thing in Gaza.

Yep, good thing they decided going after Joe Biden for hurting their sense of importance was reason to help a muslim hating, right-wing supporting lunatic get elected. I'm sure all the innocent people of #gaza are grateful to them

Ihre Papiere, bitte. #Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over #SocialMedia Accounts to Apply for #Citizenship

Trump is demanding social media handles for #citizenship, #GreenCard, and #visa applicants whether they're already in the U.S. or not.

by Matt Sledge, March 23 2025,

"President Donald Trump’s administration wants to force people in the U.S. applying for green cards or citizenship to fork over their social media handles, in a move with far-reaching implications as the government cracks down on #ProPalestine activists.

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or #USCIS, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas.

"The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new #MuslimTravelBan, which also asked federal agencies to identify #immigrants in the U.S. who hold '#HostileAttitudes” toward the government.

"'This policy would disparately impact #Muslim and #Arab applicants seeking #USCitizenship.”

"The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
In light of #ColumbiaUniversity #protester #MahmoudKhalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of #Israel and the Trump administration.

"'This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for #Palestinian #HumanRights,' said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their #LawfulSpeech.'"

You can hate the Red Tories just as much as the Blue Tories. The solution isn't the even more extreme Pale Blue Tories.

#ATAC All Tories are Hunts #GTTO Get The Tory Out

#ARAB All Reform are illegitimate. #KRO Keep Reform Out

#GLO Get Labour Out. Punish the Red Tories for being the same as the Blue Tories.

If you don't vote at all, you will just get more of the same. Or worse.

I've been a advocate for #Israel because of my personal experience as a #hostage in a negotiation.

This is my train stop.

There is no future for #Hamas and the future for Israel has gone dark.
"The US and Israel have rejected an #Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the #Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million #Palestinians living there to stay in place."
