A Lebanese Harvard graduate’s speech on Lebanon and Palestine
Friday, 29 May 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
Lebanese graduate Leen Ezzeddine delivered a powerful speech at Harvard Medical School’s 2026 graduation ceremony, reflecting on war, displacement, and the unequal realities shaping access to education and medicine.
She recalled learning medicine in the US while a US missile destroyed her family home in southern Lebanon, contrasting her experience with that of Palestinian and Lebanese medical students forced to study under drones and amid bombed hospitals.
“We were told to stay silent as Gaza unfolded before us,” she said, accusing universities of promoting principles such as health equity and human rights only when they are “politically convenient.”

Telling it like it is
Friday, 29 May 2026 — Al Mayadeen English
Ebrahim Azizi, Head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Parliament, wrote in a post on X that US President Donald Trump “should understand” that Iran, “as the victor on the ground,” sets the terms.
He listed the terms as: “cash for cash, credit for credit, and nothing for nothing,” adding that that applies only to issues “actually under negotiation, not to his fantasies.”

US Bombs Iran Amid “Peace Talks” – Seeks to Maintain Regional War & Global Economic Crisis
Thursday, 28 May 2026 — The New Atlas
The Western media continues to portray US-Iranian talks as a means for US President Donald Trump to end the war many portray as a “failure” even as the US continues striking Iran amid a “ceasefire.”
The worst part about Western reports regarding supposed US “diplomacy” is that the last 26 years alone of US aggression against Iran prove the US uses diplomacy only to further war on its own terms, not to avoid or end it.
The US is currently managing similar balancing acts of hostility just below the threshold of all out direct war with both Russia and China.
