At the UN security council yesterday, while Yvette Cooper talked about the need for a two state solution, Israels foreign minister confirmed that no Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank would ever be dismantled.

At the UN yesterday Israels foreign minister declared that the occupied West Bank (which Israel calls Judea and Samaria) is part of Israel
The west talks about a two state solution while Israel makes pronouncements like this
The reality is Israels allies have cynically used a 2SS as cover while Israel gets on with ethnic cleansing & perpetually denying Palestinians their rights in the one state that actually exists
Its telling that Yvette Cooper names "the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th", but when it comes to Gaza she doesn't identify who caused the devastation there or slaughtered those 70,000 Palestinians.

The poetry of Mary Oliver (1935–2019) will always have many grateful, enthusiastic readers. Little Alleluias brings together three of her books from the early twenty-first century, which together express her one abiding vision: this world that enraptures our mind and senses calls for response.

Lets build a massive call to award her the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nominations for her are gathering critical mass.

We are encouraged by the bishops who have spoken out against the Trump administration's assault on human dignity. But to those bishops who have remained silent, we ask one simple question: What are you waiting for?

This government has done everything it can to demonise the Palestine movement. It has failed.
History will be kind to those who tried to stop the genocide. It will condemn those who aided and abetted it.
