EXCLUSIVE: Trump tells Just the News he will designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization Announcement came just days after Just the News published a long expose on the Muslim Brotherhood's activities.

When Trump talks about designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation, the message isn’t about “principle” at all. It’s this: violence is unacceptable if you lose, but if you win and become useful to Washington, you get a seat at the table.

I first met Kate Nevens [@katenevens.bsky.social] in Cairo in 2012—two idealistic 20-somethings dreaming of a freer world. 13 years later, in a world where the tide has turned against democracy, where many have succumbed to despair or apathy, Kate is still here. Still fighting. Still hopeful.

‘Tiny broken bodies, rotting babies, flattened corpses, mass graves, levelled neighbourhoods.
It is a spectacle of slaughter. All unfolding in plain sight, livestreamed and posted by Palestinian citizens and journalists, witnessed by outsiders, and described by Israelis themselves.’

The heroic White Helmets (Syria's civil defense) who've been at the frontlines to save Syrians under the rubble are at Saydnaya to help free detainees in hidden cells. States should ensure they have the resources, technical support & assistance from intl rescue teams to work quickly and efficiently.

When we talk about the fall of a regime, we also talk about the fall of the Zionist regime. It has only existed for 76 years. It is not permanent. It is not everlasting. It will fall. It will be forgotten, with the dictators and despots and US backed war criminals

هذه حربنا جميعًا، وتغيير لصالح الشعوب في أي جبهة لن يكون في مصلحة إسرائيل.

لكن الناس أو الأمة عندما تبادر فلا يمكن سوى افتراض أن حراكها سيخدم كل القضايا العادلة. فأي تغيير يحدث على الأرض لصالح الناس، سيكون في مصلحة قضايانا ككل.
وبرأيي، سوريا ينطبق عليها ما قلته بعد شهر من حرب الإبادة على غزة، "ربما تقدم هذه الحرب شرعية لأطراف جديدة تصعد لتفاوض وتقاتل."

المبدأ: للشعوب الحق في تقرير مصيرها.
الإيمان بهذا المبدأ وتطبيقه بتجرد يؤدي لتبعات غير مفهومة، وربما غير مرغوبة لبعض أصحاب القضايا العادلة.
