Just Yesterday/Friday Israeli apartheid army bombed (using US supplied weapons) three hospitals, a UN School sheltering hundreds of families, ambulances, journalists, and over a dozen residential buildings. 25,000 tons of bombs were dropped (equicvalent to 1 to 2 nuclear bombs). In the past nearly a month, one civilian was murdered every 4 minutes, 6 children and four women every hour, 25 ambulances, tens of thousands of residential buildings, solar panels, hospitals etc. Most horrifying is the denial for civilians of water, food, medicines, electricity, hygiene (bombed sewers and water pipelines), and all elements of life. The medical services collapsed not just for lack of supplies but also of fuel to run emergency generators.(forbidden by the occupiers). But the world is rising. Please joi a demonstration near you and act in other ways (see ongaza.org for actions you can do) Here is a calendar of events:

click here I have been participating in 3-4 events daily (talks, interviews etc). Here is the latest "Free Palestine Event" which I think you should watch especially the talks by Dr. Mahathir and Dr. Abusrour .youtube.com/channel/UCfB6hOaCGI1yXA2yPKDvpJQ

This interview must be seen and shared by everyone. In fact, I had to watch it twice and must watch it again and again because it is truly remarkable in its insight. Amy Goodman interviews career State Department Official who resigned and he says Israel Is Using U.S. Arms to massacre civilians in Gaza but adds much more about the inner workings of the state department under Zionist Blinken rulle. It is a must see interview especially by UScitizens (and do share) .youtube.com/watch?v=1w9fAgaUBrw

On Friday, Israel used US weapons to bomb three hospitals, convoys of ambulances, civilians fleeing bombing, and a UN School. Since the beginning of the assault on the civilians in Gaza, one civilian is killed every 4 minutes, 6 children and four women every hour. 9200 civilians killed, 21,000 injured.

In all the focus on Gaza we did not want to bother telling readers what is going on in the West Bank nor at our museum of natural history. We suffer in the Bethlehem Concentration Camp, like other camps for the unwanted natives under Israel's genocidal and colonial regime (supported since 1916 by other colonial powers). While ashamed to mention our situation compared to the real live horrors we see in Gaza (you can follow those at .aljazeera.com/live ). Below are some thoughts from me, some photos of our vigil in front of the Church of Nativity and then reflections from Johnnie, one of our museum/garden volunteers which give you a good overview of what is happening here. read more at... ular-resistance.blogspot.com/2023/11/in-bethlehem.html

We must all act. Stay Human and keep Palestine alive

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
