The threshold for all-out war is dangerously lowered this time. From Balakot in 2019 straight to Rawalpindi 6 years later. When it happens again, and it will, the minimum threshold won't hold. This is the key takeaway.

Rubio says not only is there a cease fire, but India and Pakistan have agreed to talks “on a broad set of issues.” That’s a big deal as dialogue has essentially been frozen in recent years aside from routine info exchanges re prisoners, water, nuke sites etc.
Major developments.

This is a seminal moment for 🇵🇰
Many are learning just how ugly the world outside can be.
This realisation MUST trigger an urgency for reform: to fulfill the promise of this country as a better home for all its people, especially those that are less privileged.
🇵🇰 Zindabad.

Dangerous escalation by India with the drone attack across Pakistan today. This despite India telling the international community including US Secretary of State that it will take no action after its military strikes of May 7. The crisis has entered uncharted territory.

’امریکی مسلمان بائیڈن اور ہیرس کو غزہ پر ان کے موقف کا جواب دہ ٹھہرانے کے لیے ٹرمپ کی ایک اور صدارت، نسل پرستی اور امیگریشن کی پابندیوں کا خطرہ مول لینے کے لیے تیار ہیں۔ یہ پاگل نہیں، بہادری ہے۔‘

#OPINION: Muslims in America are willing to risk another Trump presidency, racism and immigration bans, just to hold Biden and Harris to account over their Gaza stance. That’s not crazy, that’s brave, writes @amalkhan arab.news/8xdpa
Election turnout in Pakistan was almost a case of life's longing for itself. My piece for @arabnewspk
#OPINION: Election day was a great deal more than a win for Khan’s party. It was the softest glimmer of a living polity, of people still rebellious, still hopeful, still heartbroken enough to care, writes @amalkhan

If when faced with "Israel must stop this genocide," you respond with "If Hamas released the hostages, it would stop," please note:
A) You've just admitted it's genocide.
B) Israel has over 10,000 Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons (many of them children) — Why aren't you calling for them to be released?
C) There's no evidence Israel would stop the atrocities no matter how Hamas behaves.⬇️

BREAKING:
⚡ 🇺🇸US Secretary of State:
"Hamas could have ended this on October 8 by not hiding behind civilians, by putting down its weapons, by surrendering, by releasing the hostages.
None of the suffering would have happened if Hamas hadn’t done what it did on October 7 and if it made different decisions thereafter."
Comment: He practically admits that there is genocide and massacre in Gaza, perpetrated by Israel. Justifying them, that they happened because of Hamas.

After SC order, courts can no longer disqualify politicians from contesting elections based on arbitrary, subjective grounds of “sagacity”, “truthfulness”
A tool for political engineering done away with, hopefully for good
This is as historic + significant as repeal of 58(2)(b)

Today we are celebrating my dad @DrGaborMate's 80th birthday. He was born in Budapest on January 6th 1944, two months before Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.
He was able to escape the Jewish ghetto after his mother, Judy, gave him to a stranger on the street, who agreed to take him to cousins in a safer area.
Staying in a cold, overcrowded flat, they kept him warm by sleeping on each side of him. After reuniting with his parents, who managed to survive, they fled to Canada along with his brother Janos in 1956. Living in Vancouver, he became a student activist, writer, high school teacher, doctor, healer, and renowned author.
He and my mom Rae taught me and brother Daniel and sister Hannah from an early age to be uncompromising about the truth, both the personal and political, and to stand up for the oppressed, especially the Palestinians occupied in our name.
On his 80th birthday, I honor his life and all that he has given to me and to the world.
And my wish is that today's modern-day Jewish ghettos — the Gaza death camp and occupied West Bank — will be liberated from today's modern-day Nazis, the Israeli government, so that every Palestinian can have the same freedom to follow their life path that my dad has been fortunate to have.
