“Abdelmadjid Tebboune has called for solidarity and cooperation among all nations to stop the Zionist regime’s massacre of innocent Palestinians and prevent the spread of insecurity in the region and beyond.” Yet Islamic countries and others are not expressing horror that Hamas used Palestinians as human shields.

Daily Mail says motive of Muslim who slit throat while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ and ‘Long live Palestine’ is unknown
Nothing could be less mysterious than this man’s motive, but job one for the establishment media is to ensure that no one have any reason for thinking ill of Islam.

US vetoes UN resolution put forth by Arab states demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
The UN Security Council needs to immediately evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah, given its stated concerns about the humanitarian emergency.

While Israel has shown repeated concern […]
France: Muslim who entered mosque of moderate imam with knife is deported
I’m very glad that the French authorities are so anxious to protect the moderate imam Hassen Chalgoumi. But only 0.2% of Algerians who are set for deportation are ever actually deported.
