Palestine Talks: In Conversation with Josie Guilbeau
Wow. Very interesting TRT interview with an amazing American with a background in the military, first as a combat medic, then in intelligence. She talks about her political awakening and her trip to Palestine.
Sad fact: 22 daily suicides in American military personnel
phrase of the day: the economic draft
One of the things I have seen over and over in video coming out of Gaza has been systemic targeting of civilians, health care workers, paramedics, hospitals, humanitarian aid workers, and civilian infrastructure by the IDF. These are all crimes under international law.
Yet the only fault they could find with this documentary is that one of the featured children is related to the Deputy Agriculture Minister. #AdHominem
The people who convinced BBC to take down "Gaza: How to Survive a War zone" weren't worried about the deputy Minister of Agriculture.
They didn't want us to see the children. They were afraid we would see they are children like our own. Tha worried we could see them as human beings.
Seeing the world in which they live through their eyes humanizes them.
That's what they don't want us to see.
If you think the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complicated, this video will help you understand the basis of Apartheid.

#CDNpoli Whatever happened to Canada's devotion to the Rule of Law?
No one should be above the law, whether domestic or International Law.
Please share Khaled Mouammar's important article about the direction of the Canadian Govt's Middle East policy that will impact #Canada at home, especially on our lovely #Charter protections of Canadian free expression, peaceful protests, and #freespeech

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.
