And if prominent, powerful women are punished in this way when they report they have been raped, imagine what it is like for poor and vulnerable women, or women who live in countries where the law criminalises and blames them. twitter.com/rulajebreal/st…

Good news for people panicking about #COVID19. A vaccine exists and it appears to be effective against the virus in its early clinical trials. How did it appear so quickly? It was developed 15 years ago in Belgium for malaria and worked against SARS. thebulletin.be/coronavirus-an…

@vonderleyen In this article I wrote two years ago, I explored the unnoticed trend of white suicide attacks in America and asked if this could be part of the future of far-right extremism. With the Hanau shooting, this unsettling phenomenon has crossed the Atlantic. chronikler.com/reflections/be…

@vonderleyen “They shot our brothers and children,” the bar’s owner Kemal Koçak said. “Even though we are fine, half our hearts are gone. Gökhan is gone. Everything is gone.” It took a white supremacist just minutes to turn a popular cafe into a bloodbath. theguardian.com/world/2020/fe…

It's confusing when I'm asked about my mother tongue. Arabic is the first language I acquired but English is the one I mostly grew up in and was educated in It is even more complicated for my son, who has a mother tongue, a father tongue and a couple to spare #MotherLanguageDay

This underscores the ultimate meaninglessness of defining people by skin tone. Arabs can be of all shades, including "black" and "white". It's a cultural identity, not a racial one. twitter.com/nowthisnews/st…

@vonderleyen I visited the Twitter feeds of some prominent far-righters, alt-righters and 'New Atheists' who are first in line to condemn terrorism. I found not a whisper about the #HanauShooting. Why is that, I wonder? No wonder their followers have such distorted worldviews!

@vonderleyen Luckily, Angela Merkel exhibited strength, resolve and honesty in the face of this toxic hatred. “Racism is a poison. Hatred is a poison. And this poison exists in our society and it is to blame for far too many crimes,” she said. #HanauShooting pic.twitter.com/H4VUoiirAG

Even European Commission President @vonderleyen called the #HanauShooting a "tragedy" in several tweets, but failed to use the other T word, terrorism. That is a serious form of white privilege: commit a terrorist atrocity and not be called a terrorist. twitter.com/vonderleyen/st…
