My latest article with New Lines magazine about Alaa Abdel Fattah and Laila Soueif's hunger strike. I apologize for the harsh language, but Soueif's life is in danger and at risk of death. #FreeAlaa #SaveLaila #FreeThemAll Free Alaa Mona Seif newlinesmag.com/spotlight/peri…

Must Laila Soueif die for Egypt to prove its decisions can’t be overturned? After more than 250 days on hunger strike to protest her son Alaa Abd El Fattah’s imprisonment, her body is breaking — but her resistance endures.

I guess everything is about your team owning the opposition on social media now, but one fascinating side effect of this convoy story is the number of people suddenly sympathetic to Sisi’s policy agenda and equating his plainclothes police thugs with Egyptians

lol during the Iraq war one of the motivators of a Coca Cola boycott was that allegedly if you held up a can against the mirror reflected back and squinted it looked kinda like an anti Muhammad message. Some things never change.

I still think the mortal sin of the Iranian regime was Syria. In 2011 it was still broadly popular in the region for defying Israel and the US. Syria turned it into a sectarian gang and overextended its militia allies in service of a tyrannical police state.

America is so weird man why is a comedian asking the candidate for mayor of New York whether he thinks Israel has a right to exist?

This supposed mean spirited religious argument about not mourning the dead of other faiths is one of the most toxic imports of fundamentalist Wahhabism and is so common in Egypt. Can’t wait for it to die in a fire one day.

For a second I thought it was Gianni Infantino on the left next to King Hussein and honestly it would have made more sense.

Horrific: An apocalyptic scene from one of the so-called “humanitarian distribution sites” of GHF in Gaza today. Does this look like humane to you?

Turkish government policies that are clearing the way for mining, tourism and unchecked development are also fueling unprecedented forest fires in the country, show Sofia Cherici and Aylin Elçi in this New Lines Magazine investigation. newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…
