Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen. Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure." Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

Day 46. My mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and my aunts @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK, all around 70, remain in Kot Lakhpat Jail without charge under the MPO. Today the Federal Constitutional Court ordered the Peshawar High Court to stop hearing MPO detention cases "until further orders". The argument put to it: where the army operates, a High Court cannot interfere. That court was created by the 27th Amendment – the same amendment that made Field Marshal Asim Munir Chief of Defence Forces and gave him immunity from criminal proceedings for life. @UNHumanRights warned it would "seriously undermine judicial independence". So the state can detain anyone under the MPO, and the courts may not even hear the challenge. In Lahore, my family's petition was closed on a technicality after their detention was extended by another 30 days. Yesterday, the judge did not even show up for my mother's and aunt's hearing. This is not the rule of law. It is rule by one man. Charge them or release them. #FreeImranKhanAndFamily

How, in post-1947 Lahore, an influx of Urdu-speaking Mohajirs settling in posh Model Town, and their mocking of the Punjabi word for 55, pachwinja, stirred the Punjabi nationalist in Abdul Majid Salik, a veteran Urdu poet, even if only for a brief moment.

FT: Vietnam 4-2 Pakistan None of us thought we'd get a single point, let alone score against stronger nations in the #FIFAASEANCup. Thailand showed. But being 2-0 down to draw Philippines then lead for a half against Vietnam? Proud of the lads! #PakistanFootball Zindabad

Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan's arrest and 3 years since his last public sighting which, in this day and age and given his ubiquity and fame, is astonishing. I wrote about his vanishing earlier this year for @Equatormag equator.org/articles/the-hid…

To finish off this thread - over the last 11 seasons of domestic red-ball cricket, Pakistan's pitches produced either the most batter-friendly or most bowler-friendly conditions compared to major nations in 10 of those years. The land of extremes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in his office with the Ambassador of Argentina to Israel, Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish, and wished great success to the Argentine national team in the World Cup final taking place tomorrow. Ambassador Wahnish presented the Prime Minister with an audio greeting from the President of Argentina, Javier Milei: "You are my friend, always supporting us. I was happy to hear that you are rooting for Argentina because of me." Prime Minister Netanyahu replied to President Milei: "Javier, you are a friend. A true friend. You are a great friend, we support you, we support Argentina in so many ways, including tomorrow. Good luck!"
