“Often, when we say it is “too late” for us to begin something, what we are really saying is that we aren’t willing to be a beginner. But when we are willing to dip our toe in, even just a little, we are rewarded with a sense of youthful wonder.

The horror of the Cornell rape case is how ordinary it is | Moira Donegan
Many men rape; many men giggle encouragingly, or shrug indifferently, when their friends rape. Many men rape, and few seem to think that it’s a very big deal

Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. . . [T]he idea came to him of what he called “the love of your fate.” Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, “This is what I need.” It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge.~Joseph Campbell

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

"Emotions need your direct involvement. They don’t need to be felt forever, or obsessively, but just long enough to have their say. When they know that you’ve really got the message, they disappear. If you don’t get the message, however, they stick around and wreak havoc." ~Raphael Cushnir

You are not your age, Nor the size of clothes you wear, You are not a weight, Or the colour of your hair. You are not your name, Or the dimples in your cheeks, You are all the books you read, And all the words you speak, You are your croaky morning voice, And the smiles you try to hide,

Decades of walls, checkpoints and Israeli military restrictions have made Palestinian suffering largely invisible to Israelis. The new documentary “NAZA” is the latest (but not the first) attempt to break that blockade. theconversation.com/in-naza-isra...
theconversation.com
In ‘NAZA,’ Israeli whistleblowers’ revelations about civilian deaths in Gaza reflect a longer history of Palestinian isolation
Barriers, checkpoints and surveillance have made the plight of Palestinians easier to keep hidden. But thanks to films like ‘NAZA,’ that’s starting to change.

It is shameful that the US government continues to ignore the arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu - while denying Palestinian representatives visas to attend the UNGA. All states should enforce the ICC's arrest warrants and hand over Netanyahu to the ICC.

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?
