🗓 20 years ago, Rachel Corrie was killed by Israel
On this day in 2003, the 23-year-old US citizen, anti-war activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an armored D9 bulldozer of the Israeli army. She was undertaking non-violent direct action to try to stop the Israeli demolition of a Palestinian family home in Rafah (Gaza Strip).
While witnesses said she was deliberately crushed, the IDF ruled an accident. In 2005, Rachel's parents sued Israel for a symbolic $1 in damages. The Israeli juge rejected their suit in 2012, ruling “an accident she brought upon herself”. An appeal was lost in the Israeli Supreme Court in 2015. Cindy Corrie, the mother, called the Israeli court system “a well heeled system” to ensure the occupation's impunity. Twenty years on, there is still no accountability.

A generous offer in Tripoli, North Lebanon! “A French fries sandwich for 20k liras no matter how the exchange rate changes. For anyone too poor to afford it, they can have it for free if they bless the prophet PBUH”
With the Lira's rapid depreciation, the sandwich is now worth $0.18. Yet, all ingredients became expensive: a bag of bread is about 40,000 LL ($0.37), 5L of oil is over 1 million ($9.35). The generous offer happens while Muslims are anticipating the holy month of Ramadan.

⋯ For perspective, plain kaak sells for 70,000 LL.
It's a pita bread that's harder and thicker than the usual pita. They used to be one of the cheapest food options. It was a common street food, now it's less common. An Al-Manar news segment said that, while the average place sells them for 70,000, people said it's totally unaffordable.
