The Lebanese Diaspora who never live in Canada to lose Citizenship

"You know how many Lebanese like to “game the system” to obtain Canadian Nationalities? Those who actually live in Lebanon but travel to Canada every now and then only to prove they’re residents?"

"Over 80 people were arrested in downtown Manhattan during a protest against Wall Street on Saturday. Protestors are complaining that police used excessive force. Judge for yourself."

"I did it. Finally. After months and months of complaining about social media — and this is from someone who works in the media industry — I decided to put my cynical self to the test and deprive myself of everything digital (with the exception of WhatsApp, which serves to be my SMS app replacement). And what better time to begin with my experiment than when I went back home to Syria before Ramadan, the place where I usually unplug from the online world? With your run-of-the-mill social networking applications hardly accessible, self-control and restraint should have been easy.

"When daddy’s one of the biggest baddest dictators around-you know your gonna be living large and that’s exactly what Ghaddafi’s son Hannibal 36, and Lebanese wife from Akkar, Aline Skaff 31, (who was the first lady to appear semi-topless on a Lebanese publication) did!"

"Although the Palestinian Authority’s statehood bid has received its fair share of international support, I can’t say that it represents my hopes, my ambitions, or my idea of a free Palestine. Analysts and experts will argue that the issue of Palestinian statehood and self-sovereignty is complicated, that it requires concessions, bargains, negotiations, and sheer luck, that any other alternative would be too idealistic. I disagree, partially because it isn’t complicated at all, but especially because these claims present Palestinians as a sacrificial bunch that only require a certain percentage of rights. My people did not overcome occupation for six decades to settle for a state with a lowercase ‘s’ or freedom with a lowercase ‘f’."

"An info graphic depicting famine in Somalia by the numbers shared by The Washington Post.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand Somalis may die of starvation this year. That’s equivalent to wiping out every single person in Washington, plus 150,000 more."

"Israeli activist and author Miko Peled, currently touring Australia, is convinced that the Israel-Palestine conflict can be solved".....if Zionism is removed from the government agenda.

"From its founding Israel as an apartheid colonial power has appropriated natural resources from native people to use for immigrants imported from around the world. Before 1967, Israel diverted waters that normally flowed into the Jordan river basin and also restricted water usage by the Palestinians who remained in what became the state of Israel in 1948. After 1967, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza were denied access to most of their water resources in a calculated process to impoverish the population and destroy the economy in the occupied Palestinian territories."
