Imagine this: Two days before your family holiday party, you get a text about an online order you placed a week ago, saying the package is at your door. It comes with a photo – of someone else’s door.

The circulated images show Syrian detainees whose photos were archived in one of the security branches, with no information about their fate or what happened to them. Previous leaks, such as the “Caesar Photos,” revealed thousands of images of detainees who died under torture in Syrian prisons

The joy of Syrians today is everything we needed.How can anyone defend Assad?! Focusing on oppression from the West while ignoring violence from the East is deeply troubling. We cannot pick & choose what type of violence we prioritize without risking the production & justification of more violence.

- Netanyahu looks hysterical in the video, and at one point, on the verge of crying - He says he's fighting 7 external fronts, and another internal front - Accuses the legal system (ie Attorney General) and (implicitly) the Shin Bet (General Security Service) - Appeals directly to his supporters
