Winston Peters is a disgrace and I view him as dangerous - he has always courted the worst dance partners, and his State of the Nation speech at the Christchurch Town Hall last year was like a racist rallying rant to a lynch mob.

A gem from six years past. The day thousands rose up and sang Bella Ciao against right-wing Governments. Goodness is passed on and on like the baton in a relay race when we stand for the liberation of all people. So here it is, the song that stirs action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDRi...

Lighting candles in Aotearoa New Zealand. I loathe it when the good die, while the bad seem to go on and on. Condolences to all those who knew and loved Glen Hansard. May Glen's soul soar. May we see and hear him in every good thing. pitchfork.com/story/glen-h...

I go small. Retreat for my well being. Gaze for an hour at the petals on a flower, or the wings on a butterfly. Sink into a wave. Then I come up, gulp, see good courageous people doing the right things, and I join them. Join those who write truths, join those raging against the dying of the light.

The State of Is-hell's propagaganda factory has been financially pumped by the US. Is-hell developed highly sophisticated technologies on which the world depends and which in turn fund strategic genocide. First snipers now starvation. Research massacres since the Nakba. Boycott. Sanction. Divest.

Middle son sent me this pic from USB bookshop University of Canterbury. He said the staff were all over him when he said his Mum wrote the book. Love that he's proud of his Mum as I am of him, lovely to see The Seasonwife in good company, and love love love booksellers who love books.

Artwork by Ruby Jones:
A simple effective cartoon depicting a woman in a yellow dress with black hair in a bun holding a woman in a blue hijab and a long pink dress. 

This was one of many artworks which expressed the intense grief our community felt when our neighbours, team mates and friends were attacked by a terrorist as they prayed, 6 years ago today.

Antony Loewenstein clearly articulates the idealogical background for genocide. Extermination for expansion is based on the myth that one people is superior to another. It is always wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWwF...

Eric Alterman and an increasing number of Jews recognize that there are better ways to tackle antisemitism than settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, military occupation, home demolitions, illegal settlements, imprisoning children without charge, and the displacement and oppression of Palestinians.
