'Birds fly chaotically, unable to find their bearings in the sky. Humans of all ages are blown to pieces, shredded, burned alive, buried alive, choked on their poisons. All manner of life ended, stories evaporatedsuch endless carnage just to make way for the most vile people on earth to have more, because their greed is boundless, their hate abysmal, their jealousy boundless, and their darkness threatening to swallow all the light.' Susan Abulhawa
There is an ongoing horrific genocide/holocaust of our people ongoing in the Gaza Strip and spreading to the West Bank. This did not start with the Gaza Ghetto uprising in Oct 2023 but started with 1948 and the illegal and immoral theft of Palestine from its indigenous people to serve imperial interests -Israeli apartheid regime has now killed 247 journalists in the past 23 months- more than were killed in all wars before this over 110 years. Israel still will not allow media into the Gaza Strip (where the holocaust is blazing) -Decline of US/UK/Israel empire is evident including desperate attempts to hold on to empire via suppression of free speech. It is now possible to criticize God, Christianity, presidents, prime ministers but not zionism (colonialism). It is possible to burn any flag in the US but not the Israeli flag. -Unlike previous (tectonic) shifts in global geopolitics this is the most dangerous period in human history because it involves a period on human history when we a) are globally connected, b) widespread advanced weapons of mass destruction (including lasers from space, nuclear etc) are such that destruction can be catastrophic for our species, c) environmental catastrophic situation (including climate change) -On the positive side, this is a period in world history where people can save themselves and their planets globally also because of a) advanced technology/connectivity, b) difficulty of controlling all sources of information by the powers to be, c) global culture of connectivity combined with imminent danger -Palestine is pivotal in raising and unifying global action against genocide and ecocide. A global intifada is raging and could reset the course of human history towards sanity.

In recent weeks we spoke by video with doctors around the Gaza Strip. Through virtual tours of medical facilities, we sought to document the situation in which thousands of children suffer from severe acute malnutrition. What we saw was of catastrophic proportions
