The horrors in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran go on. The remaining two million people of the Gaza strip (50% children) suffer cold weather and rain, hunger and diseases in shabby tents (and many with no shelter). I could write a whole book about the surviving friends I know there. Hiam having lost an eye to an Israeli bullet takes care of a child and a mother who suffered a stroke and has limited access to any medical services. Islam's mother died from injuries sustained earlier. Sakhr laments loss of his parents under the rubble. Yasser proudly sent me picture of a meager bean harvest grown around his tent. Here in the West Bank, settler pogroms continue as does the stealing of land including in my own village of Beit Sahour/the Shepherds' Field. The cruel apartheid (Epstein) regime marches on with partnership of Western governments. Zionism is repeating what was done to Palestine in Lebanon targeting hospitals, schools, ambulances, and other civilian structures and ethnically cleansing the population. More bombs dropped (on eight countries) in 2.5 years than all of World War 2!
The US empire is being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism. Trump tried to calm the oil and stock market by stepping back from a deadline he gave to Iran. But soon after the insider trades made millions, the stocks resumed the declines and oil went up again..The US national debt surpassed $39 trillion (it was 20 trillion in 2018!). As always, wars make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The world is upside down. Right is wrong and wrong is right. The struggle remains between the masses and the elites who run the governments and collaborate (by bribes and blackmail) with Zionist ambitions to enslave the world. But so many people keep the hope alive by actions. Candles in this darkness......
