Une démission collective des consciences? > Selon Dominique de Villepin, la France a-t-elle le pouvoir de dire non et ainsi de s'affirmer dans un monde ravagé par les guerres et les luttes de puissance? > Une réfléction par Nada Yafi via @OrientXXI : orientxxi.info/lu-vu-entendu/…
Humble words of thanx, @maynard_nick , 4 ur love of Gaza & 4 ur healing contribution via @MedicalAidPal to the needs of many residents. Thanx also 4 ur interviews upon returning to Oxford: my heart went out to the little girl u operated on all nite & who desperately needs care.
I simply cried as I faced my helplessness & frustration: no human being should be reduced to this image in the 21st century - whether in Palestine, Sudan or elsewhere (and read the piece by Aoife Walsh + Paulin Kola w/in this clip) - via @BBCNewshour > bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cz…
An oxymoron perhaps, but always a sad pleasure to read the pieces that @YolandeKnell files on Gaza / Israel-Palestine conflict because her reporting is so genuine in its descriptive facts <> bbc.com/news/articles/…
Labour & Liberal MP's will support a recognition of Palestine by the UK, but the Conservative MP's will in all likelihood think it is untimely. I'd like to hear a cogent argument by our Foreign Secretary why we dither so much in this quasi-symbolic move: bbc.com/news/articles/…
President Macron declares that 🇫🇷 will recognise 🇵🇸 at 🇺🇳 in September: it won't of course generate a solution tomoro, yet i- it's a potent symbolic move by a G7 power, & ii- it might create a momentum if other recalcitrant countries (UK?) follow suit > f24.my/BKqS
Arman Khatchatryan reviews @matthewteller 's 'Nine Quarters of Jerusalem' - w/ a focus on the Armenian Quarter too. Although the book came out 2 years ago, this is a reminder of the potent hold Jerusalem has on its inhabitants & its lovers or haters! <> mirrorspectator.com/2025/07/20/rev…

Un pas important pour la paix fut franchi aujourd'hui, et j'espère Monsieur le Président @EmmanuelMacron que le Royaume Uni et d'autres pays européens ou membres de l'UE (il en reste 15) suivront votre exemple aussi. Et pour moi, selon les Béatitudes, Bienheureux les pacifiques!
It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was talking to a Khan Yunis resident, discussing whether he should stay or leave. Beyond belief that his city has since been almost completely destroyed. An entire city. Let that sink in. haaretz.com/israel-news/se…
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
A quote I've heard goes, "Thinking will not overcome fear but action will". Allow me to tweak it a bit as a function of our bruised & battered world: Talking will not overcome fear, but action will. So please, for the sake of our collective + precious humanity, walk the talk!

Algeria 🇩🇿 has an oft-forgotten or neglected rich Christian history that goes back centuries. And today, @Pontifex met w/ Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboun who subsequently also met w/ Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See: vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…
