Want to feel better in these trying times? Here's one way.

#Make something. Anything.

Today. (Or, it's late evening where I am, so tomorrow.)

Bake a cake.
Design a tee-shirt.
Write a poem.
Hot-glue something amusing to an ugly baseball cap.
Use tiny magnets to stick an LED and a resistor to a 9V battery, so you have a little glowy thing.
Sketch your pet.
Write a confessional sign for your pet.
Take a photo.
Take a photo of the confessional sign and your pet.
Assemble that birdhouse kit.
Pick up that guitar and come up with a new (to you) lick.
Build a campfire.
Turn an old-fashioned wooden clothes peg into a toy by Sharpie-ing a face onto it.
Fold a piece of paper and cut out a paper doll chain.

Just create something - whatever you have skills for, or materials for, or the desire to do, whether it's going to be #great or #terrible, whether anyone else is ever going to see it (but you should share it, if I can convince you of that).

Creativity is something you do, not something you are. And the need to #create is universal. It fulfills us, releases us. Just knowing that there is now #something in the world which was not in it before, and that the reason it exists is you *chose* to #create it, will satisfy an inner craving so deeply buried we don't think about it most of the time.

And then share it with someone. And ask them to share theirs with you, if they want to.

Israel, President Herzog’s indictment: “Terrible brutalization of society”

The red line of brutality has been crossed. In the West Bank, regarding the treatment of activists from the Global Flotilla Mudge. On Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog delivered a very harsh speech to condemn what he called a “terrible process of brutalization” of Israeli society, particularly referring to the violence perpetrated by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank and the treatment of prisoners in the country’s jails. Herzog’s speech accompanied the presentation of the Jerusalem Unity Prize, an award intended to promote mutual respect, unity, tolerance, and social harmony.

Herzog said that in Israel, there is “a wave of terrible violence carried out by a chaotic mob, with acts that contravene all legality, morality or Jewish norms.” He added that some parts of Israeli society not only have normalized violence but “celebrate and proudly claim it.” “We must not tolerate the brutality that comes from the margins of our society and that threatens all of us.” In his speech, Herzog made direct references to the violence of settlers in the West Bank, stating that Israeli security forces spend “the greater part of their time” managing the violence of Jewish extremists. In reality, the army often does nothing to prevent this kind of violence, aligning itself in virtually all situations with the settlers, and in many cases participating directly in attacks against Palestinians. The Netanyahu government has consistently downplayed the problem, describing it as, for example, a situation created “by groups of children,” and has supported the creation of many new settlements, considered illegal under international law.

Herzog also spoke of “humiliating and reprehensible behavior by extremists towards Christians and Muslims and their symbols.” This was interpreted as a reference to recent incidents in which Israeli soldiers destroyed crucifixes in Lebanon and an attack on a nun in Jerusalem. Another topic of the speech was the treatment of detainees. Herzog reiterated that it is “forbidden to mistreat them.” “We are witnessing barbaric acts committed by a handful of people who believe that detainees, suspects, or those under investigation have no rights.” In this case, the main recipient of the message was National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. On Wednesday, a video of him walking with hostile and contemptuous gestures towards the activists of the Global Flotilla Mudge, tied and lying face down in the port of Ashdod in Israel, provoked widespread criticism. Ben-Gvir’s ministry is also responsible for Israeli prisons, where there have been complaints of systematic abuse, deprivation, and violence, even sexual, against Palestinians. How did Ben-Gvir react? Ben-Gvir, demanding Herzog’s resignation, arguing that “anyone who defines hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens as brutes is not fit to hold the office” of president.
