    The Israeli army bombed police headquarters and security buildings in Gaza. Authorities say 56 Palestinians were killed, including 14 children, since the escalation began.

    Tensions have been building up since the start of Ramzan in mid-April when Israeli police set up barricades at the Damascus Gate outside the occupied Old City, preventing Palestinians from gathering there.

    On Monday, Israeli armed forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, ahead of a march by Zionist nationalists commemorating Israel’s capture of the eastern half of the city in 1967.

    Subah Bakhair, *|MERGE1|*, It’s May 12.  Most probably we are two days away from EID…ahh!

    I was reading this crazy piece Urooj wrote about neurotechnology techniques that could help humans erase painful memories. The process involves an electromagnet similar to an MRI scanner, which measures various changes in the brain like the level of oxygen in the blood.  

    If you were given a chance, what memories would you erase? Let me know by replying to this email. There are chances of rain in Islamabad today. It will be sunny elsewhere.

  • VIDEO: Kashif Zameer beats pet lion

    A video of Kashif Zameer beating his pet lion has gone viral on social media.

    JFK Animal Rescue and Shelter shared the video of Zameer beating his pet lion as two women stand on the side and watch him.

    Sharing the video, the animal rights body questioned why regular citizens are allowed licenses to keep such exotic and wild animals as pets in their homes.

    Earlier this month a video of a man torturing a lion cub had gone viral on social media. Pakistan’s relaxed wildlife laws and the ability for everyone to secure a license allows such distressing acts to take place.

    Lawyer and activist Hassaan Niazi commenting under JFK’s tweet said that he working with the wildlife and law ministry to introduce stricter laws for animal abuse.

    Zameer has remained a controversial figure in Pakistan ever since he hosted Diriliş: Ertuğrul star Engin Altan Düzyatan in Lahore and later duped him. While Zameer initially trashed the rumours saying that Engin had assured him that the deal will not be disbanded, Düzyatan, in a statement on February 16 said, that he no longer represents Zameer’s Chaudhry Group of Industries as brand ambassador.

    Meanwhile, in February Zameer was also accused of attempting to kidnap YouTuber Ali Virk.

  • Peace with Pindi? Nawaz Sharif’s Spokesperson tells all

    Peace with Pindi? Nawaz Sharif’s Spokesperson tells all

    Mohammad Zubair, Spokesperson to Mian Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, claimed in a TV talk show that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has made peace with Rawalpindi. Zubair made this statement in ARY News programme ‘The Reporters’.

    Alluding to a rapprochement between the establishment and PML-N, anchorperson Sabir Shakir directly asked Mohammad Zubair about ‘sulaah‘ (rapprochement) with Rawalpindi. The PML-N leader confirmed to Shakir that there has indeed been a reconciliation.

    “All it will take is to pull the ladder away from PTI [Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf] and the government will be in trouble,” added Zubair. He said that this is what the PTI fears.

    Zubair further added that the relations of PML-N with the army have always been good.

    PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has been targeting the establishment quite vocally. At a rally in Gujranwala held by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) last year, Sharif’s comments against army chief shocked Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

    Senior PML-N politician Javed Hashmi recently criticised the establishment in a video that went viral on social media. The PML-N has officially distanced itself from Hashmi’s comments by tweeting: “Javed Hashmi’s statement about the national institution is his personal opinion.”

    PETA India names cow after Kim Kardashian to honour her dairy-free diet

    The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has honoured billionaire lifestyle guru Kim Kardashian’s “dairy-free diet” by naming a cow after her.

    “For Mother’s Day, PETA India names rescued mother cow ‘Kim Kowdashian’ after reality TV star Kim Kardashian,” tweeted the animal rights advocate’s India branch.

    “Thanks for promoting a dairy-free diet Kim,” it added.

    In a statement, PETA India said that they wanted to “thank the mother of four for showing compassion to mums of all species by promoting a dairy-free diet to her more than 200 million followers.”

    The bovine, which was described as having “striking eyes and long, dark eyelashes” was chosen as she is just like her 40-year-old celebrity namesake.

    ‘Kim Kowdashian’ was reportedly rescued by a PETA-approved sanctuary after the animal rights boy caught her being abused on the streets by her former owner.

  • Sheheryar Munawar hits out at western media for biased reporting on Palestine

    Sheheryar Munawar hits out at western media for biased reporting on Palestine

    Sheheryar Munawar has hit out at international media outlets for their “biased” coverage of Israeli atrocities against the people of Palestine. At least 36 Palestinians including 10 children have been killed in recent airstrikes while close to 250 have been injured.

    “Shame on CNN, shame on western media in general for their biased reporting,” said Sheheryar, calling out international news outlets for their biased approach against Palestine.

    “Shame on all the west in general, especially the US for staying quiet during these terrible times and supporting terrorists,” added the actor.

    Sheheryar further questioned: “Is it the same US, who unlawfully invaded Korea, Vietnam, Libya [and] Syria, claiming to liberate the oppressed?”

    “My heart bleeds for my brothers and sisters in Palestine,” continued Munawar. “Down with the injustice and tyranny. Down with state terrorism. Down with Israel.”

    Last week, tensions escalated in Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and Gaza, amid growing anger about potential forced expulsions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, on land claimed by illegal Jewish settler, Al Jazeera reported.

    Earlier, several Pakistani celebrities including Mahira Khan, Ahsan Khan, Maya Ali, Feroze Khan and Asim Azhar condemned Israeli brutality in Palestine and called for the world to take action. International celebrities including Gigi Hadid and Mo Salah have also raised their voice and called for the world to take action.
