Israel tries to justify its continuing attack on the Palestinian Territories because of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

The world was horrified at that attack.

But that does not justify attacking Palestinian civilians. Or Healthcare workers, Or press. Or Humanitarian Aid workers.

And certainly not children.

Just as Hamas killed people, Israel is now killing people. With no signs of stopping.

People.

Thank-you, Mike Morrice! It is great to have an Member of Parliament in Ontario that actually represents me, even if not actually in my riding! I was quite upset this morning when I started seeing those reports, so I was very happy to see your post.

Mike is the MP sponsor for my Petition to the House of Commons, asking the Government of Canada to restore UNWRA funding during this humanitarian catastrophe.

Canadian citizens and residents can sign my Petition e-4802

There are no excuses.

My sister and I have similar "graduation party" photos of our kids at that age.

The difference is that our kids are still alive a few decades later.

“(…) Hate Orgoreyn? No, how should I? How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one’s country; is it hate of one’s uncountry? Then it’s not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That’s a good thing, but one mustn’t make a virtue of it, or a profession. … Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
