Dear Friends,
How many remains of dead children lie beneath the rubble of Gaza?
Look at the images of total decimation of thousands of homes and try to imagine how many remains of tiny bodies lie crushed and inaccessible beneath the layers of shattered concrete. These precious little ones have been pulled out, miraculously by dedicated and exceptional rescue workers, against all odds!
Their family members and have been killed.. Their family structure gone!
What does that mean for their future?? Lives ruined with the deep and painful scars of loss and trauma.
The cycle of violence continues and reproduces more and more violence and hatred.

Dear Friends,
This looks like a nightmarish scene from a Hieronymus Bosch painting… but of course - it’s Gaza.
All hell has been opened everywhere, while the Palestinian people are being starved and slaughtered.
What a stain upon the whole of humanity.
Stay strong and keep Gaza in your hearts and minds.. Bear witness - keep speaking out and protesting! Global opinion DOES make a difference!!!!

Dear Friends,
This might look like Gaza, but it’s actually ‘Bat Yam’ - a suburb of Tel Aviv, after an Iranian bombing.
It gives me no ‘satisfaction’ whatsoever to witness this scene, Violence and warfare achieve nothing but abject misery and pain.
At the conclusion of the carnage and slaughter, there is a MASSIVE price to pay.
The damage reverberates for generations.
THIS is why it must be the imperative duty of leaders to prevent escalation at ALL costs.
Instead - innocent people have their lives wrecked - dragged into hellscapes over and over again by the hubris of those militaristic ‘wheeler dealers’, who choose to commit genocide over humanity.
It is sheer and utter madness, but violent - egoic humans never learn.

Dear Friends,
The whole world seems to have gone insane… (as if we didn’t already know that was the case) . ‘Never Again’ sounded good for awhile, but now the ongoing genocide proves how hollow that saying has become for those responsible for ensuring that international human rights would be protected and respected.
Amnesty International have stated this is the WORST situation they have ever faced.
I fear we are at the precipice of the ‘known’ unknown!
Without WiFi communications the unfettered carnage of the Palestinian people will continue ‘behind the scenes’. All eyes will now shift to Iran and the other countries being bombed.
Meanwhile - thousands of bravely committed humanitarians are begging to enter Gaza at Egypts border crossing.
Deepest respect to each one of them! May they all be safe.

Dear Friends,
I ran out of words to adequately describe what’s taking place in Gaza months ago, but carried on calling for an END to the atrocities we witness on a daily basis. Right now I feel utterly sickened and disgusted by the abhorrent and revolting CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!! HOW CAN HUMAN BEHAVIOUR BE SO SADISTIC AND BARBARIC???
THIS IS PURE EVIL WITH NO HOLDS BARRED!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
In whatever god forsaken place could tens of thousands of children be butchered for months on end like this, with a deafening SILENCE and NO ACTION WHATSOEVER to prevent it from the powers that be???
In fact - The guns that shoot the bullets - the bombs that shatter little bodies into bloodied pulp are supplied by the western countries where you live!
There is NO REALM in which this can EVER be justified.
There were supposed to be rules and red lines. There seem to NONE for the most ‘moral army in the world’ who are tasked with GENOCIDE and the TOTAL EXPULSION of the PEOPLE of PALESTINE from their land.
While saying this - I abhor antisemitism and ALL ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN!!!!

Dear Friends,
This will go down in history as one of the most abominable events of all time.
Utterly deplorable - to drive a starving population to a tiny area, with the enticement of ‘food’, only to be targeted like animals in a shooting frenzy!!!
Does ANYONE actually think this is acceptable??????!!!!!!!
STOP THIS GENOCIDE!!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
If you’ve been following the news you’ll already know that all 12 of the freedom flotilla crew have been arrested and taken hostage by Israeli forces.
While we can breathe a massive sigh of relief that they’ve not been physically harmed, it remains to be seen how this will all turn out.
The idea behind the flotilla was to bring international attention to the genocide being perpetrated upon the Palestinian people and to call for an end to the blockade of aid.
And it is GENOCIDE… as clearly defined by Francesca Albanese in this interview.
Calling for an end to genocide does NOT mean you are a supporter of Hammas, nor does it mean you are antisemitic. This is a gas lighting strategy to prevent humanitarians from speaking out against genocide.
Don’t buy it!!

Dear Friends,
From what I understand, the ‘Freedom Flotilla’ (@gazafreedomflotilla ) will soon be near Gaza . They are carrying baby formula and medical aid. I’m deeply concerned for the safety of the people on board. The Israeli authorities are hardcore and won’t be restrained from using force against them. Remember the humanitarian US protester Rachel Corrie who was mowed down by a bulldozer???
Only time will tell what the outcome will be.
I’m on tenderhooks for them right now

Dear Friends,
Positive content has been hard to find throughout these months of outrageous horror.
But this is something to remind us of shared HUMANITY - EMPATHY- CONSCIENCE and MORALITY in this deeply divisive and contentious situation. I’m DEEPLY moved to see Israeli citizens organising to take these measures as a common call for an END to this HELL ON EARTH.
They demand better from the powers that be!
We can support them in doing so.. Share this post and help make their voices be heard!!!!

Nothing is normal in Gaza

There is NOTHING normal in hospitals being bombed
NOTHING normal in children being blown to pieces
NOTHING normal in skeletal rib cages
NOTHING normal in constant displacement
NOTHING normal in being trapped under the rubble of your former home
NOTHING normal in seeing your entire family killed in front of you
NOTHING normal in people running into bloodied hospital corridors, carrying their dying child, friend, brother, mother, sister
NOTHING normal in living under siege for years
NOTHING normal in dead children and dead families wrapped in white plastic shrouds
NOTHING normal in living in flooded makeshift tents or sheltering in schools
NOTHING normal in having no clean running water
NOTHING normal in having no sanitation
NOTHING normal in your children being starved to death
NOTHING IS NORMAL IN GAZA
DON’T ALLOW GENOCIDE TO BE NORMAL !!!
