There are now credible reports from many sources that the levels of
extermination and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the Gaza strip is
higher than officially released and in 19 months could be over 250,000 [1].
The evidence is so compelling that all human rights organizations and the
UN documented GENOCIDE and ETHNIC CLEANSING [2]. Over 200,000 are already
out of the Gaza strip (enriching pockets of Egyptian officials who demanded
$5000-10,000/person for exit) and 95% of the remaining population
homeless.  Perhaps that is why Trump is now speaking about taking one
million (who are left) Palestinians to Libya after Israel finished cleaning
them from all areas of Gaza towards the south concentration camp of Rafah.
Meanwhile 'business' goes on as usual: billions milked from corrupt Arab
dictators, Israeli embassies function around the world (no sanctions), the
Zionist lobby infiltrated more organizations and governments globally,
blackmailing/extorting weak politicians like Trump and Bin Salman with
scandalous videos and information gathered by Mossad agents like Epstein,
"Israel" is competing in Eurovision, Arab "leaders" (not one of them
elected fairly by people) met in Baghdad to issue yet another useless
declaration that their masters feel happy about, famine spreading,
expenditure on arms expand to trillions, the climate and environmental
global catastrophe deepens, education and healthcare globally get worse.
The tiny 0.5% (in numbers) continue to reap money and get richer from their
positions and now own 50% of the world’s money by thievery from the poor
[3]. US taxpayers are saddled with trillions in debt thanks to wars fought
on behalf of Zionism [4].

The bad news may lead some to despair and tell us we are entering a new
dark age [5]. Yet, candles in this darkness are far too many to snuff out
by the Zionist/imperial/colonial juggernaut [6]. Actually hundreds of
millions of good people acting positively for sustainability, peace and
justice. Look around you for these positive initiatives and support them
and create more. Organize. Afterall, every social positive movement came
from such people action: there are thousands of examples from women right
to vote to civil rights to Zapatista empowerment to Rohingya to Algeria and
Vietnam independence. Even in the heart of the empire today, the movement
is tremendous. Look at student movements at universities or even common
people in Palestine and how they resist. These are the true heroes. The
profiteers (oppressors) will be swept to the dustbin of history. They are
the few, we the oppressed are the many and must organize better (it is an
existential threat). Action based on knowledge is the best antidote for
despair.

For us at the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (
palestinenature.org), we do this daily and thus balance our lives by doing
positive work/building on the ground and educating globally [6]. This is
how we keep our sanity and how we keep the hope alive. We urge you to join
us (email PIBS@bethlehem.edu to learn more).
