I hear Thiago & Saif will be released. That is great! NOW ALL OF US must keep pressing governments so that Apartheid Israel releases the thousands of Palestinians held in its torture centers.

Ahmed joined the advocacy as soon as he was freed.What an example. We missed you Ahmed!

GENTLENESS (1997)

Not a classical Virtue, but based on observing my young son with our aging family cat. It's how I hope we'll care for all the earth's creatures.

Since it is Shabbat I'm going to keep my remarks brief..

1. Preemptive US military attacks without Congression approval violate the US constituion.

2. Preemptive attacks by the USA and the state of Israel violate the UN charter, a treaty that both countries have signed.

3. The Iranian regime has done terrible things, but as always, it will be the civilians of all sides that will be suffering thanks to this idiotic war.

4. The state of Israel's decision to participate in this attack is a terrible, terrible thing, which will result in Jewish people around the world being blamed. The folly of doing this during the Jewish holiday of purim, and the Islamic holiday of Ramadan compounds this terror. Contrary to what many mainstream Jewish institutions have told us, the state of Israel is not making life safer or better for Jews in diaspora, but rather it is empowering anti-semites to behave worse and get away with it.
