Surely there are enough scraps of material yet to spare in Gaza to fly, say, a million white kites...if only to honor these dead-- and make visible those still living. if only to each other.
I remember the interview and thinking, "This guy is amazing." I'm stressed in my little PMC world and here is a guy with a gaggle of kids in the background sharing his flat while he does an international interview in the middle of a genocide where he is a target. Amazing person. RIP
Trying to undo the sins of the nation state within the confines of the nation-state concept is likely to be unsuccessful. Part of what I want to do is to encourage more of us to think about new ways to think and act on this issue.
There must be a permanent ceasefire, not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.
I think more people see through this media-intense anti-Palestinian pressure/censorship campaign than don't. Israel's a bully committing genocide (no other descriptive word for it), and they tend to be more fanatical than a Klansman when it comes to their "belief," which reduces to shouting other voices down. Power of the Megaphone. Apparently, thinking and/or saying that Palestinians are not "sub-humans" is "anti-Semitic," when in reality, hating on Palestinians is, in fact, anti-Semitic. Zionism is just another form of Racism, White (European) Supremacism, which of course is ironic, to say the least. No one owns the Holocaust, but some loudmouths insist that they do...
Thank you all for continuing to speak out about the Horror. It is beyond heartbreaking. I can't watch some of these interviews without crying.
Murder. The word you are looking for is "murder".
what is wrong with this country? Thanks for this.
The most moving thing, ever, in Useful Idiots history.
He delivered a series of lectures on English poetry which I'm currently viewing on Youtube. You can see the love of literature oozing out of him.
May Allah (swt) have mercy upon him and all the martyrs.
It just awful what American has become, and to know that if Biden where not killing the Palestinian that Trump would be doing since
Absolutely heart-breaking. Refaat Alareer was "not a number" but a poet who understood that the pen is mightier than the sword. RIP.

Refaat Alarmeer, RIP
All I can do is share my poem for Gaza.
When is Enough Enough?
There are no Waters of Consolation
No Balm in Gilead
Where can salvation be found
When Death reigns from on high?
Buildings crumble
Bodies break
And bleed
In the dust
Pain fills a child’s pink shoe.
Beneath the twisted rubble
No humanity can be found.

Lying Was the Only Plan Biden, U.S. Ever Had in Ukraine – Matt Taibbi – Dec 8, 2023

Biden & Co. are deeply corrupt anti-American war criminals.
Same fascist dictatorial team as in Russia-gate hoax of the century but -- Trump is "a danger to democracy".
