Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.

#Trump is NOT #PeaceLoving.

His enacted desires for #Canada and #Greenland make this obvious.

His lies about Ukraine, and #Putin still not being pressured to join the ceasfire, just reinforce this.

And his sending weapons to Israel to kill women and children shows that he's a violent, untrustworthy child-killer.

#Despot - a cruel ruler with absolute power.

India bars protests that support the Palestinians. Analysts say a pro-Israel shift helps at home

From Western capitals to Muslim states, protest rallies over the Israel-Hamas war have made headlines. But one place known for its vocal pro-Palestinian stance has been conspicuously quiet: Indian-controlled Kashmir. Indian authorities have barred any solidarity protest in Muslim-majority Kashmir and asked Muslim preachers not to mention the conflict in their sermons. The government-enforced silence comes as India walks a tightrope between the warring sides, with close ties to both. Analysts say the new restrictions on speech reflect a shift in India’s foreign policy under the populist Prime Minister Narendra Modi away from its long-held support for the Palestinians.
