Protest level: dancing a war dance. Young Georgians perform 'Khorumi,' a traditional dance of Georgian warriors, waving EU and Georgian flags. Frankly, this is my fave Georgian dance, incorporating elements of military intelligence, war, and the celebration of victory. 🇬🇪

“My soul is gone.”

Almost 14,000 children killed in Gaza since October 7, according to health authorities.

Jeremy Diamond reported on the deaths of ten children 2 weeks ago.
