How have Jashn e Rekhta made Faiz, of all poets, be Captain America? Urdu poetry isn't just about cute Mughlai aesthetics. Each poets political convictions are key to who they were and their writing!
My suggestion for Captain America is Hafeez Jalandhari, btw.

As a Palestinian, I will share with you the special techniques used to make people appear healthy and energetic, despite starving.
I risk offending my community in doing so, since these are secret techniques that no non-Palestinians aside from the Jerusalem Post are aware of. (1/x)

All this has gone under the radar, however, because mainstream coverage of Palestine in European football has been one sided and duplicitous, reproducing the same trend of always protecting the genocidal state of Israel and its affiliates.

It's so striking to me how what Maqbool Bhat said of Pakistan, Kashmir's supposed ally, in 1971 applies so perfectly to Egypt today and its role in oppressing Palestinians in Gaza.

I invite everyone to read this anecdote from early 19th century Australia. Macquarie was of course the then governor of New South Wales, but his actions echo firmly with those of a certain current Prime Minister of a certain settler state in the Eastern Mediterranean.

I once wrote a short story set in the far future that featured a fictional AI called Gospel that was built to support Israeli nation building.
