This represents something of the energy I’m feeling today.. Pretty angry… I watched the debates going on in British Parliament last night with absolute incredulity.. Talk about Alice in Wonderland.. The noise and nonsense being bandied about was beyond belief.. These are the people who have been voted to represent the best interests of this country? God help us all!!

I’m sending you a piece of sky…
The sky that surrounds us all.
Elsewhere…
The same sky is suspended above Gaza
where deadly bombs rain down upon the heads of innocents.
It is devastating and heart breaking.
A retribution - a ‘cleansing’ - a punishment.
The atrocities of war, terrorism, violence and destruction are enacted and re-enacted everywhere...
In Gaza - Israel - Ukraine - Syria - Sudan-Congo…
Relentless rivers of blood flow while singular acts of violence are perpetrated in every city - town - village and countryside.
In streets, apartment blocks, shopping malls and living rooms…
Constant and ubiquitous
Visible and invisible.
Hatred, bigotry, racism, violence and hypocrisy is expressed by entrenched belief systems of those representing their very own version of ‘God’…
God as nation
God as ‘ours alone’
God as ‘punisher and exploiter’
God as ‘justifiable reason to kill’
War and violence has stained humanity throughout history.
I have never been able to understand or come to terms with this.
I cannot accept it and never will.

May all sentient beings enjoy happiness and the root of happiness.
May they be free from suffering and the root of suffering.

May they not be separated from the great happiness devoid of suffering.

May they dwell in the great equanimity free from passion aggression and ignorance.

What is taking place in Gaza right now is Genocidal.
The world is calling for CEASEFIRE. How many more innocent people will be slaughtered? How many more lives destroyed?
For the love of god…
Stop this total nightmare!!!

And let me say unequivocally that I am TOTALLY against violence.
I absolutely denounce the slaughter on BOTH sides!!!
I am pro - humanity!
NEVER anti Semitic. NEVER!!!

I’m sharing this film of a displaced Palestinian mother, physically dragging her two children out of Gaza to God knows where.. Safety? Security? Food? Shelter??
This place has been turned to a hell on earth.
The clip is courtesy of @motaz_azaiza
A remarkably courageous press photographer, who is visually capturing the situation as it evolves. I’m absolutely heartbroken for EVERYONE who has been affected by these events of indescribable cruelty. While also grieving the Israeli victims and hostages on the other side.
Being critical of this atrocity does NOT make me anti-Semitic. I totally refute that.

From a humanitarian standpoint, how can this be ‘justified’??

This is what’s left of Gaza.
Hell on earth!
No ordinary person deserves to be slaughtered and destroyed like this. Not in their homes, not in streets, not at music festivals or places of worship, not in hospitals, not in schools ..
Not ANYONE - ANYWHERE! ESPECIALLY not innocent children who are being pulled out from the rubble like rag dolls, with broken limbs… bloodied like pieces of meat.
I grieve for everyone caught in this atrocious situation....

The horror continues… Unsurprisingly. And I wonder what would happen if Hamas were to return the hostages? What would it take to even give ordinary Palestinian citizens a decent humanitarian ‘PAUSE’ in this terrible relentless slaughter of innocent women and children? They absolutely don’t deserve this!!!

Just taking a moment to share these beautiful Autumnal roses..the landing ground for a little ladybird who was ‘working’ the petals. Nature’s finest!
We all need to have a break from the noise and haste..
the bustle and hustle.
As Israeli troops encircle the sprawl of Gaza.. I realise there is no moment of ‘peace’ -
No relief from the relentless destruction and carnage going on there.
And no escape from sorrow and grief for the Israeli families and friends of those brutally murdered by Hammas several weeks ago either.
This Gordian knot - This endless cycle of violence continues, as it has done for decades, with no end in sight. The world watches.
What is the end goal??
How will this tragedy of tragedies play out??
This question affects the entire world dear friends.

I’ve been following this young Palestinian woman’s Instagram posts ( @wizard_bisan1 ) throughout these last few weeks of horror.
Despite unimaginable challenges, she’s been reporting from Gaza every single day, with bombs exploding all around her and total mayhem everywhere.
She is no more ‘safe’ than any other Gazan citizen, her life is constantly at risk.
Take a moment to listen to her descriptions of conditions for the ordinary people surviving in Gaza right now.

‘Save the Children’ has said that more children have now been killed in Gaza in the last three weeks than the total killed in conflicts around the world in every year since 2019.

Dear Friends,
I’m re-posting an interview given by Vivian Silver an exceptional woman and peace activist who was taken hostage.
Thoughts go out to her family, who are caught in the midst of this atrocious situation.

Dear Friends..
I want to make it absolutely clear that I deplore the repugnant acts carried out by Hamas against innocent people.
I want to see every single Jewish hostage safely returned to their families and loved ones.
At the same time I want the bombs to stop destroying the lives of Palestinian people..Innocent children - entire families.
Brutality beyond brutality.
Tragedy beyond tragedy.
War and terrorism is a human obscenity.
I’m just a tiny voice here on my Instagram platform calling for ‘peace’ and ‘non- violence.’
That is everything I stand for.
It always was and it always will be.
