Dear Friends,
I wanted to share this message given by the ‘now’ deceased Pope Francis, who constantly referred to the extreme disproportionate cruelty and injustice taking place in Palestine. He was well aware of the indescribable extent of suffering that has been taking place for decades and the current situation since Oct7th 2023. He was a man with immense concern for the most marginalised in the world.
The poor, the incarcerated, the frail and most vulnerable people trying to survive in the harshness of endemic poverty.
His outspokenness caused controversy in an institution that often covers up terrible flaws and hypocrisy within its ranks. Whoever is going to be his successor I earnestly hope will be a man who will continue his example.
The last thing the Pope called for was CEASEFIRE.
We can hope pray and continue to protest.

Dear Friends,
I’m sharing this clip as it touches me deeply. It takes tremendous courage to protest against the killing of Palestinian children when you are Jewish Israeli in Tel Aviv. These folks are BRAVE! There are many WOMEN among them, peacefully calling for an END to the carnage.
All around the world ordinary decent people from all backgrounds and faiths have been calling for and END to the genocide. The movement is growing. They protested against apartheid - They protested against the Berlin Wall - Against the war in Vietnam - Against homophobia and the AIDS crisis - for Civil Rights antiracism and equality…Against institutional mysogeny and patriarchy,
There IS such a thing as ‘people power’ and sometimes it actually succeeds!
Keep witnessing! Keep protesting!!! Keep calling for ceasefire!!

Dear Friends..
We’ve been witnessing genocide for
over a year and a half.
Every single day CHILDREN ARE BEING KILLED, BOMBED, STARVED, TRAUMATISED. WOUNDED, ORPHANED, INFECTED, SHOT, BURIED UNDER RUBBLE BURNED.
The list of horror is endless.
One of the issues that we must all be aware of is that the constant exposure to this living nightmare should create any sense of ‘normalcy’…
THIS is SO BEYOND ABHORRENT - INDECENT - SADISTIC - CRIMINAL
AND INHUMANE.
Yet life carries on…
And that seems as indecent to me as the actual situation does.
Heartbroken Ashamed and Appalled.

Dear Friends,
I could have posted more of the atrocious horror of children being slaughtered in the genocidal bloodbath taking place in Gaza, but I’m posting this inspirational message instead! The courage, dignity, decency and moral messaging from this man is exemplary.
What will it TAKE to STOP KILLING CHILDREN????!!!
Over TWENTY THOUSAND so far!! Can you imagine this taking place in YOUR country???

Dear Friends,
As dark as it can get…
Gaza - Congo - Sudan - Ukraine…
War totally destabilises people’s lives, with the most vulnerable being CHILDREN!
The recent cuts directly affect
human beings, who are not just numbers.
James Elder (@james_unicef) of @unicef shares the most disturbing truth in this clip.. Yet he speaks of HOPE over DESPAIR.
I think it’s important that we are AWARE as to what is taking place in every war torn country in the world. THIS is why International Human Rights matter. We can’t afford to have them eroded.

Dear Friends,
I share and post these clips and from Gaza with a HEAVY heart.
This world is filled with conflict - injustice - cruelty and inequity at every turn. It seems to be the human condition. Our very existence is be a test of endurance. Children are borne into circumstances of poverty, war, abandonment and suffering. I have witnessed and experienced all of this close up and first hand… yet THIS is something I CANNOT ignore.
I am appalled, disturbed, enraged, frustrated and often despairing.
HOW CAN ANYONE SUPPORT and ENDORSE THIS SUFFERING??!!!
And of COURSE I ache for the families of hostages who have been caught up in this nightmare. Anti - Semitism is abhorrent. I MUST keep saying this as the gas-lighting is deeply offensive and absolutely corrosive.
FEED PALESTINIAN CHILDREN
STOP KILLING THEM!!!!!

Dear Friends,
This is a cry of desparate HUNGER!!!
You WON’T FIND THIS IN THE MEDIA HEADLINES because they either don’t care - or don’t want you to know.
The suffering of the Palestinian people doesn’t matter to them.
International Human Rights have GONE!!!!
The saying of ‘NEVER AGAIN’ means nothing and is of no consequence.
Mass displacement and genocide is happening in plain sight while life just steps over and around it.
Absolutely devastating.

Dear Friends,
ALL of THIS could be YOUR town…YOUR city… YOUR backyard. Once international human rights have been eroded, ignored or violated… Gaza is an open killing field.

Dear Friends…

This precious child… Holding two dolls that once belonged to two other little girls, who were just like her. The ‘war’ made them martyrs she says…

Look at the trauma she holds in her little body.. She’s been exposed to hell on earth.

She says “This war taught us everything”…Think about that for a moment.

She will never ‘unsee’ the horror she has witnessed. Never ‘unknow’ every traumatic lessons she has learned.

This is NOT NORMAL!
This is ABSOLUTELY IMMORAL!
This is WRONG in every sense of the word!!

And in saying this - I must EMPHASISE that I say the same for every child of any ethnicity.

I call for PEACE and CEASEFIRE
on behalf of THIS LITTLE GIRL and ALL THE CHILDREN who are caught in hellish landscapes like Gaza.

Dear Friends,
This is a VERY TOUGH post, but if you are in any way wavering about whether there’s any point in bearing witness.. let me just suggest..
You stand for the shredded and be - headed children, for the corpses blown skywards, for the countless bodies under rubble, those who were burned alive and screaming till their death.The tortured- dispossessed - shot at - bombed - starved - orphaned - wounded, traumatised and dehumanised … You bear witness to all these atrocities as testimony to ‘all humanity’.. You stand for the core values of International Human Rights, which should lie at the heart of your very foundation.

Dear Friends,
As each day passes we see unbearable images from the besieged place of hell that Gaza has become. Where, for 534 days of war, over 39,000 children are estimated to have lost one or both parents. Among them…17,000 have lost both parents.
And the world still turns.
Silence from global leaders.
Silence from the media.
SHAME ON THEM ALL.

Dear Friends,
I had the good fortune to meet @allisonrussellmusic on stage through a fantastic concert at The Gorge in Seattle with @jonimitchell . We sat next to each other on a lilac couch while she played clarinet and we both sang back-up vocals with the Joni Jam peeps. I was immediately struck by her warmth and gentle kindness..
Subsequently we met on stage a couple of times more. Then she asked me if I’d like to record a song with her as a duet. I said ‘yes’ right away, without even hearing the song!
It turned out to be SUPERLOVER.. This one in the video! I love Allison most dearly..She’s a unique and special person and artist!
And I’m SO proud of this profound and haunting peace anthem we recorded together. It is absolute ‘balm’ for the soul in these troubled and troubling times…
