  5. Iraq has a new president but who is Nizar Amedi? The former environment minister and Kurdish political leader has risen to the top after a decisive parliamentary vote in Baghdad, ending months of political deadlock. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/w #Iraq #Iraqpresident #NizarAmedi #Kurdish #Baghdad

  6. #SethMoulton illegally invaded #Iraq in 2003, one of the first #USmarines to enter #Baghdad. Like the other invaders, he has never been charged with #warCrimes.

    Now he is a #Democrat, a US Rep for #Massachussets. And he's whining about #Polymarket betting on a downed airman.

    Betting on US imperial aggression is a:huge tradition. But the bet is usually in #ArmsTrade shares. Moulton is not objecting to that.

    He's just attention-seeking for his #USsenate campaign.

  12. "In #TikTok videos viewed tens of thousands of times, 31-year-old #DanSheena dons a blond wig and acts out skits of a bickering #Iraqi couple in a #language that is nearly extinct: #Judeo-#Arabic.

    #Sheena began posting videos on TikTok in 2023, speaking the endangered language, which today is rarely spoken by anyone under the age of 60, following the mass exodus of #Jews from #Arab countries due to discrimination and religious persecution.

    Raised by two parents from #Baghdad, Sheena grew up in #Israel and spoke the language at home. That’s a rarity among second- and third-generation Iraqi Jews, whose families often stopped passing it down in an effort to assimilate.

    From a young age, Sheena, who still lives in Israel, knew he wanted to become an Arabic teacher. After years of teaching conversational Arabic in the public school system, he became determined to preserve the dialect he grew up with.

    When Sheena told his family that he wanted to teach #JudeoArabic..."

  17. "A few years ago, in response to a #Palestinian critic who made a disparaging remark about the fact that I don’t speak #Arabic, I felt compelled to write an article explaining why that is the case. I said that under different circumstances, I could have been born in an #Arab country and grown up speaking Arabic. My father’s family had been settled in #Iraq for generations, but they fled to #England in 1941—the same year that #Baghdad’s #Jews were convulsed by a June #pogrom known as the #farhud—presaging a much larger exodus of Iraqi Jews over the next decade.

    Among my father and his relatives, there was little nostalgia for the old country, and therefore no reason, as they saw it, to ensure that their children born outside Iraq learned Arabic. It’s not that they didn’t appreciate the centrality of Iraq to #Jewish history..."
