The management and staff of The Media Line wish all of our Muslim readers a blessed Eid al-Fitr.
The heartbreaking current violence in Palestine and Israel, as well as the ongoing political and military conflicts and humanitarian crises across the Middle East – in places like Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Afghanistan – can feel overwhelming. In addition, the Russian war on Ukraine is reverberating throughout the Middle East, bringing grain shortages, a flow of refugees, and a destabilization of relations with Russia.
But holidays should be times for reflection on what unites us in our common humanity – among other things, our obligation to increase understanding and reduce violence, injustice, and suffering among all people.
That can only be done with knowledge and a sense of fairness, which on an international scale requires trusted, high-quality, independent, honest journalism.
At The Media Line, that is our mission, but we can’t do it without the support of our readers.
