The Lebanese Advocates

22/09/2026

Join us for a demonstration in solidarity with the LGBTIQ+ community in Turkey on 24/09/26 in front of the Turkish Embassy in Floriana.

We are gathering to protest the escalating state-sponsored hostility, systemic censorship, and violent crackdowns targeting LGBTIQ+ individuals and organizations across Turkey.

Pride marches have been banned nationwide; activists, lawyers and academics face arbitrary arrests and police brutality, and recent legal proposals threaten to further criminalize basic rights under the guise of protecting "family values."

We stand together in hope and solidarity, to demand an immediate end to these human rights violations, to champion freedom of assembly and speech, and to send a clear message to our q***r siblings in Turkey: your struggle is our struggle, and we are behind you.

✨ Creative Time Out ✨

Life moves fast. We rush from one task to the next, rarely giving ourselves permission to pause.

This summer, I invite you to do something different.

Slow down.
Create.
Reconnect.

Join me in Gozo for a gentle mixed-media journaling experience where there are no rules, no perfect art, and no pressure. Just time and space to explore your creativity, reflect, play with colour, and reconnect with yourself.

Whether you choose the Mini Retreat in August or the Weekend Retreat in September, you'll leave with more than a journal—you'll leave with memories, inspiration, and a renewed sense of creative wellbeing.

💛 No artistic experience needed
🎨 All materials provided
🌿 Small intimate groups
📍 Gozo

Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is simply stop and create.

If this speaks to you, I'd love to welcome you.

On the occasion of the Nakba, activists and members of various Palestinian solidarity groups and organizations gathered yesterday to march from Gżira to Sliema in a united call for justice, freedom, and human rights for the Palestinian people. 🇵🇸

The demonstration called for an immediate end to the ongoing suffering in Palestine and urged the international community, including Malta and the EU, to take concrete action by sanctioning the Israeli government for its violations of international law and human rights.

From Malta, we continue to say loudly and clearly: solidarity is not a crime, and silence is not neutrality.

Today, 15 May 2026, we commemorate the 78th year since the Nakba began. The closest English translation of “Nakba” is “catastrophe.” It marks the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their land, the establishment of the State of Israel on stolen Palestinian land, and the ever-growing Zionist colonisation.

🇵🇸 Today, our hearts are with Palestine and with all victims of Zionist aggression.

For Israel and Zionism, 1948 was just the beginning of the Greater Israel project. These past couple of years have been a cruel reminder to ethnic cleansing and imperialism left unchecked. The Zionist state of Israel continues to act with impunity, continuing its genocide in Gaza, and expanding its aggression into Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

This is a catastrophe for humanity.

Our work is cut out for us - we must continue putting pressure on our representatives and the Maltese government to stand with humanity and push for divestment and sanctions on Israel.

We must continue to demand that Palestinians forced out of their homeland are allowed the right to return and to live with dignity in a free, unoccupied Palestine.

🍉 Join us tomorrow, Saturday 16 May at 4:30pm, at the Council of Europe Garden in Gżira, for the annual commemoration of the Nakba, joining millions across the globe who demand the freeing of Palestine and the end to the Zionist imperial project: NAKBA 78 - March for the return of stolen lands

Għalkemm qed nisimgħu inqas bih, il-ġenoċidju f'Gaża għadu għaddej. L-Iżrael bħalissa qed jokkupa direttament iktar minn 64% ta' din l-istrixxa żgħira, ftit ikbar minn Malta. Fil-bqija tagħha, il-Palestinjani għadhom qed jgħixu fost tifrik totali, bi ftit li xejn għajnuna umanitarja.

🩸 L-Iżrael immassakra madwar 75,000 Palestinjan matul il-ġenoċidju tiegħu f'Gaża. Mijiet minnhom qatilhom wara l-hekk imsejjaħ waqfien mill-ġlied f'Ottubru li għadda.

Eluf ta' Palestinjani oħra jinsabu ostaġġi fil-ħabsijiet Iżraeljani, soġġetti għat-tortura u għall-istupru.

Fl-istess ħin, l-Iżrael qed ikompli jisraq l-art u joqtol lill-Palestinjani fix-Xatt tal-Punent, u espanda wkoll l-okkupazzjoni tiegħu fil-Libanu u fis-Sirja.

Dan kollu huwa t-tkomplija tan-Nakba, il-katastrofi, li bdiet fl-1948, meta milizzji Żionisti qatlu u keċċew mijiet t'eluf ta' Palestinjani minn djarhom sabiex jeħdulhom arthom u joħolqu stat Iżraeljan.

📍 Nhar is-Sibt, 16 ta' Mejju, fl-4.30pm, se niltaqgħu ġewwa Ġnien il-Kunsill tal-Ewropa, il-Gżira, sabiex niftakru f'din il-katastrofi u nkomplu l-ġlieda favur Palestina ħielsa: NAKBA 78 - March for the return of stolen lands

Nemmnu bis-sħiħ li fejn hemm is-solidarjetà, hemm it-tama.
