A bit of personal news... Last week, my contract with Oh My Goal ended. I've played many roles over the last 3 years. I'm grateful to have worked with a team that was committed & knowledgeable but most of all incredibly humane.

Hey @dcunited you’re really quiet right now. When @guerrilla_fc agreed to be in your promotional video it was under the condition you open up dialogue with overlooked communities. We weren’t that optimistic you’d change but now’s a good time to start

Sometimes the best turns of skill come are a reaction or an overcompensation to make up for a teammate’s mistake. And it turns into art

The UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.

For anyone interested in attending in the Paris region… For friends in Beirut, we will hold something informal later this year. ❤️

Yesterday, we held the service for my father. We shared a lot of his favorite stories about driving through sniper-lined streets or stepping in front of gunmen to save civilians. Photos here are by Jack Dabaghian

People often fail to mention over 90,000+ are also displaced in Lebanon. Here, many are staying with relatives or friends and a smaller number are in community centers - while in Israel around 56,000 are staying in hotels in a govt funded evacuation program

The damage Israel has inflicted on Hezbollah in Lebanon - which includes 30 commanders killed - is worse than during the month long war between Israel and Lebanon in 2006. On the other hand, Hezbollah has managed to displace 80,000 residents from their homes, unprecedented.

Every child loss is a tragedy. Every civilian death should be mourned. But some are ignored while others are weaponized.

Seeing analysts and politicians who have been defending a whole genocide now show sympathy for the children of Majdal Shams tells us a lot about the twisted ways children are used for point-scoring.

For anyone in Beirut, we’re doing a small commemoration for my father on Thursday at 5:30pm at Dar. Then a small selection of his photos will be on display for another week.

I occasionally get a message from DC friends about how hard it is. I stopped responding pretty early on. If you didnt know this was what your career would entail it's not up to us in the region to clear your conscious

this is probably not all that charitable but I am simply tired of unnamed and anonymous officials doing all this. quit or don't. if you do, I don't really care or need to know about it. If you don't, then you're continually, willingly complicit, and I don't need to hear from you.

Seeing some really bad takes that the football on display justified the decision to grant this World Cup. Can we not think critically & imagine a less euro-centric World Cup in a country that wouldn’t lead to the deaths of so many workers?

Today, 4 people were killed, 3 civilians (2 kids) & Hzb fighter. Israel’s attacks on south Lebanon have been gravely under reported and overlooked. I wrote about their impact. @hrw say the indiscriminate nature of these attacks amount to war crimes.

What’s behind Israel’s escalation on south Lebanon?

A notable increase in attacks may signify that Israel is stepping up a campaign to clear the south.

Two days ago, security in Beirut’s downtown started to expel people - mostly non Lebanese refugees or foreign labourers - from parks & places they had set up to flee Dahiyeh & south. To do this, let alone under such circumstances, is inhumane
