Some thirty years ago, my girlfriend at the time planted this crabapple as a gift to my grandmother. It is now immense and fills the air with fragrance every spring, and in the fall, it is loaded with fruit for the birds. A treasured gift that has outlived my grandmother, my former girlfriend, and most likely me as well.

Analysis: Why many Americans are unaware of Gazans' weekly non-violent protests before Oct 7:
Every week, 1000s of Gazans participated in a nonviolent, Gandhian march to end the Israeli blockade.
And every week, Israeli snipers mowed down dozens of them, killing and maiming unarmed people of all ages.
The Israelis called such massacres "mowing the lawn".

Deutsch-israelische Beziehungen nach 60 Jahren vor der Zerreißprobe
60 Jahre nach dem diplomatischen Neuanfang steht die deutsch-israelische Beziehung unter Druck. Der Haftbefehl gegen Premier Netanjahu und der Krieg in Gaza überschatten das Verhältnis. Was bleibt von der deutschen Staatsräson? Von Georg Schwarte.

Infine ho visto il film #NoOtherLand.
Praticamente tutto il girato è precedente al famigerato #7ottobre col quale #Israele vorrebbe giustificare la propria interminabile rappresaglia su #Gaza e sul resto della #Palestina.
Il documentario mostra come le violazioni del diritto internazionale, le squadracce di coloni che con la violenza e la protezione dell'esercito vessano la popolazione vittima di #apartheid, siano pratica continua e diffusa da ben prima di quell'attacco.

An apparently privileged demographic, on paper, is spending its youth doing the pointless; vaping & video games in their mother's basement means those mothers voted for Trump.
Not sure how Trump deals with "failure to launch" young men, except as cannon fodder in oil wars.
The chute to the ladder of success is still greased to favor them, yet they aren't thriving.
