Few artists have been as intertwined with a struggle & so beloved by the people fighting as Sliman Mansour. Sadly, he has passed at age 79. In 2023, he told @hyperallergic.com: "Our fight now is to tell the world that we are full human beings…We are not less than any other people in the world.”

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad reads the Sira as a guide for times of upheaval: the Prophet repeatedly overturns expectations through mercy, truthfulness and freedom from ego—most dramatically in forgiving defeated enemies rather than taking revenge.

Despite false claims by pro-war sources, UNICEF actually says that despite slight improvement, severe hunger remains widespread in Gaza, and gains are fragile. About 1.4 million people—67% of the population—face crisis-level or worse acute food insecurity, including 212,000 in emergency conditions.

And stop saying Jewish Democrats as if it were every single one of us. It is not every single one, and you know it. Jews ought to remember the centuries when rabbis went to the Sufi in order to study under them, and other such historical events. But we can't because of book burnings. Remember.
