Messi tenía una firma y 400 millones de motivos para decir que sí a Arabia, pero en las próximas horas firmará para el #InterdeMiami. La ‘intrahistoria’ del astro argentino con los árabes. ABRO HILO ⬇️ 
Hace un mes, el viaje a #Riad de Leo con su padre #JorgeMessi fue noticia porque el PSG sancionó al jugador con una suspensión de 2 semanas. ¿Cuál era el motivo del viaje? Firmar un ‘pre-contrato’ para lo que se conoce el proyecto ‘Saudi 2030’.
En los últimos tiempos, jugadores como #CristianoRonaldo, #Benzema y #Kanté han sido una gran publicidad en el mundo para el deporte árabe que quiere ver crecer su movimiento en vista de la asignación del Mundial 2030.

The American Jewish Congress released a statement on May 8, 2023 on Bashar Al Assad rejoining the Arab League. This is a good time to recall why this is not a good idea after #Assad attended an Arab Summit in #SaudiArabia over the weekend. Read this #thread⬇️/1

The #AmericanJewishCongress is alarmed that efforts are underway to rehabilitate #BasharAssad. Before any normalization, Assad needs to talk to the opposition, eliminate #Iran presence in #Syria, and initiate a political transition in accordance with UNSCR 2254. /2
Sharing our concerns about rehabilitating #BasharAlAssad is more than half of Syria’s population displaced by #Assad’s actions over the past decade, says @JackRosenNYC, President of #AmericanJewishCongress. /3

“The international sanctions on #Syria must be lifted, and Jordanian-Syrian economic relations must return to the status quo ante,” wrote Musa Al Saket, a member of the Amman Chamber of Commerce.
“The sanctions are unfair to our economy & the Syrian people,” he wrote. “Twelve years since the war broke out, more than 90% of the #Syria population lives below the poverty line, with limited access to food and medicine. This is a major catastrophe,” Saket added:
There is a controversial HUGE secret hidden in plain sight all around the world.
But as much artifacts that could be was carted away and hidden beneath places like the #Smithsonian institute & the #vatican.

Syrian world war? Is the label correct? Or is it a Syrian revolution between the people and the regime? We will see that in this thread about the statistics of the number of foreign fighters who came to support the Syrian revolution and 👇1️⃣
bring democracy from their countries full of "freedom", and others wanted to establish (the Islamic State)

Jordan benefits from lavish assistance from the US, its far-and-away largest provider of aid. That it gets away so easily with harboring a killer of Americans shames all those involved. That certainly includes the news industry, the think-tanks and the analysts who cover it up.

So where's the outrage? Americans including our child were murdered in an act of savagery for which a fugitive terrorist takes open credit. Years go by and most of America's senior political figures pretend not to notice that #Jordan shelters #AhlamTamimi. This is bizarre.

Both sides of US politics ignore it. The fugitive says it's about religion, yet most human rights orgs steer clear. We're not into conspiracies but this is black and white. Justice is trampled and the silence from the many we've approached for support is crushingly consistent.

Since Russian funded terrorists from #Hezbollah are killing Jews in #Israel today and both Russia and #Palestine cheer, it’s time to revisit this special antisemitic brotherhood. 🧵
So I supported Palestine on human rights argument. Among my friends much support also for 🇵🇸

1. Because we believed that this generation should not be guilty for crimes of its people in past. And what of these crimes? #Palestine and it’s supporters will tell you that all of this violence is because Israel stole land almost 80 years ago. Land that has been in dispute
2. Among three religions for eons by way. But what they leave out is that Palestinian territory was home of both Jews and Muslims during WWII. It is these Muslims who sided with Nazi Germany to eradicate, genocide Palestinian Jews.

#earthquake with epicenter reportedly in #Turkey was felt throughout the region. Many people i know woke up to the shake. Some went into streets. #lebanon #jordan #Syria
This is strongest #earthquake I felt since #egypt’s 1992 destructive one. In #beirut, waking up in middle of night to shaking building brought back terrifying memories of #aug4 #beirutblast in 2020. Where to hide?
This time, I am in a new building with 2 four-legged dependents and no @leenasaidi to pull me out of house. It took a few minutes to regain composure. Still contemplating what to do with drake and smudge

מחאת המשאיות 🚛🚚 - מה קורה בממלכת #ירדן? 🇯🇴⛽

לאחרונה, עלו מחירי הדלק במדינה.
בשנת 2012 היו שתי העלאות במחירי ה #דלק. ההעלאה השנייה (10%) שהייתה אמורה להעלות את המחיר לליטר לדינר (כ1.4$ בזמנו) הוציאה את הירדנים לרחובות וכמעט והופלה הממשלה. >>

ב2012 ההחלטה הושעתה ע"י המלך והסערה שקטה, לבינתיים.
באמצע דצמבר 2022 שוב התקבלה החלטה להעלאת מחירי הדלק אלא שהפעם מחיר הדלק הוא כבר 5 דינר לליטר מאחר וירדן כבר אינה מסוגלת לסבסד את הדלק. מסיבה זו, המלך #עבדאללה השני לא יכול לעצור את ההעלאה במחי החלטה כמו בפעם הקודמת. >>

עם משכורת ממוצעת של הרבה פחות מ2000 ש''ח העלאה כזאת היא בלתי אפשרית עבור הירדני הפשוט.
נהגי המשאיות, הנפגעים הראשונים מעליית המחירים, לא מסוגלים לעמוד בזה. פשוט לא משתלם להם להיכנס למשאית ולהניע.
כאן חשוב לזכור ולהזכיר ש #ירדן תלויה במשאיות כמו אוויר לנשימה.
