30 years ago, I was a writer during the 1st Intifada and met a 10y old boy named Nizar who lost his arm, a foot, and a leg from an IDF bomb that hit his home in #Gaza. I'd wrote a lot of stories about injured kids in Palestine and wanted very much to do more than just write.
I was in my early 20s and had just graduated from Kent State in Ohio, my hometown. I couldn't keep writing about injured kids and then do nothing to help them. A year earlier, I sent the first two injured kids (from Hebron) to Ohio for free care. He was also a triple amputee.
After Mansour returned home, I met Nizar in #Gaza. I thought I could do the same for him that I did for Mansour - get him new legs to walk again and maybe something more: A better life than a refugee camp in Gaza. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I did it anyway.

Sabato 25 giugno 2022, intorno alle 9:30, una cinquantina di abitanti di #Kisan, un villaggio nel distretto di #Bethlehem, si sono riuniti per protestare contro l'inquinamento atmosferico e i cattivi odori generati ⬇2
da un impianto di riciclaggio di rifiuti e materiali da costruzione del vicino insediamento di #MaaleAmos.
Durante la protesta, diversi giovani palestinesi hanno lanciato pietre contro l'impianto, ma si sono fermati su richiesta del capo del consiglio Musa al-'Abayat (34). ⬇3

Martyred journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh was a topic of discussion during the press conference held by Palestinian Authority President #MahmoudAbbas with his American counterpart #JoeBiden, on Friday.

The joint press briefing, which took place at the presidential compound in #Bethlehem, is part of Biden's first tour as US president in the #MiddleEast, following his meetings with Israeli officials.

Abbas asked for "Washington's support to hold the killers of journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh accountable," while #Biden replied that his country "will continue to insist on a full and transparent accounting of her death."

Significant statement from caretaker PM @yairlapid: "Two-state solution is a strong guarantee for a democratic state of #Israel with a #Jewish majority."
Interesting moment during the @JoeBiden-@yairlapid presser in #Jerusalem when #Saudi news outlet @AlArabiya correspondent asked @POTUS what the #US is offering #Gulf states on #Iran's malign activity in region, and Lapid on where #Israel disagreed with Washington on Iran policy.
#Israel is helping #Biden's #US normalize relations with #SaudiArabia and key #Arab allies.

I attended as an individual. I am not affiliated with any PAC or organization. I obviously do not speak for or represent the #Palestinian people. There’s like 7 million of us at least, and like 2 million of #Palestinians stuffed in #Gaza alone.
To the #Palestinian Americans who boycotted this meeting after the #Biden Administration handed Israel $735 million dollars in weaponry following the merciless attacks on Palestinians locked in Gaza.

I have been curious about the changes to ICU capacity capacity. The weekly data captured at healthdata.gov/sites/default/……… now shows data through the week of 12/11. At first blush, the data doesn't appear to have changed much since the prior week. 1/n
2/n The aspect I am most curious about is the reporting of the data. An example of this is in reporting of ICU beds available and used. See below for one PA example: It is confusing to see the beds at this facility change during the weeks of 10/2 and 9/18 #covid #hospitals
3/n In contrast, note the reporting at this alternative #Pennsylvania hospital: While the average total #ICU beds increase slightly during the two most recent weeks, in contrast with the prior example, this hospital shows a percentage used < 100%. #LehighValley #ABE #Bethlehem
I finished my crosswalk of 2016 to 2020 precincts over the holidays (apologies for posting a Xmas-inspired but not colorblind-safe version initially). A few things jumped out & led me down a rabbit hole of demographics & light plagiarism. Let's go! #ElectionTwitter 🧵1/?
When I initially did the municipal-level shifts map several weeks ago, some cities in the Eastern half of the state had a conspicuous red shift (Lebanon, Reading, Lancaster, etc.), & I was looking forward to diving deeper into those +Trump shifts... 2/?
These happen to all be cities with large Latino populations. Then @dawncai624 & @fordfess wrote a
great piece in the NYT looking at these trends in large cities across the US, so I'm going to look at our mid-size cities the same way... 3/?

It's hard to capture the absence of activity. How do you show something that is missing? These wonderful @reuters pictures do just that.

1/ What does the #Quran have to say about #Christmas, and what does this ruined church located between #Jerusalem and #Bethlehem have to do with it?
2/ The Quran contains its own version of the Nativity story (Q. 19:22-27), in which Mary is said to withdraw to a remote place and to be overcome by the pains of labor. She then finds shelter under a date palm tree
quran.com/19/22-28
quran.com/19/22-28
3/ In agony, Mary cries out for help, and a voice tells her that God has placed a brook beneath her for her relief. The voice then instructs her to eat the dates of the tree and drink the water of the brook. She does so, and shortly after, gives birth to Jesus
