difference.

The president of the Islamic University of Gaza Prof. Sufian Tayeh and his
family were killed in Israeli bombing in North Gaza (Jabalya) 2 December
2023. I updated the detailed post on attacks on institution of higher
education including the call that was signed by Prof. Sufian few days
before he was killed:

Those unfamiliar with Gaza and its history are likely to always associate Gaza with destruction, rubble and Israeli genocide.  

 And they can hardly be blamed. On November 3, the UN Development Programme and the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) announced that 45 percent of Gaza’s housing units have been destroyed or damaged since the beginning of the Latest Israeli aggression on Gaza.

 But the history of Gaza is also a history of great civilizations, as well as a history of revival, rebirth.

So anxious are Evangelicals for the second coming of the Lord by God, a zombie apocalypse, many anxious MAGA disciples are rushing headlong into Armageddon with their offering of not one, but two heirheads apparent: The Orange Jesus, Trump the Terrible  vs. The Satanist DeSantis.  I have been told by some that the Orange one has been overheard to say: There for the Grace of God, go I,” Or,  was it… Whither God goes’, go I. I forgot which.

In one corner, we have the” “Second Coming” Donald Trump suggested that he is second not only to Jesus but Abraham Lincoln as well.  As the television pundits might say, “There’s a lot to unpack here.” Replace Jesus with Satan and you’ll get no argument from me.

New GOP Motto: Ignorance is Bliss and we are the Blissful Party

Trump is not a Christ idol, unless we think of him as the idol rich.  He’s more into creating Hell on Earth. Here, Heil for chaos, callowness and cruelty. 

The Israeli apartheid regime resumed Friday its mass killing of civilians
in Gaza after getting more weapons and a green light from the US
government. Israeli forces bombed in the first 10 hours of bombing
residential buildings, over 115 Palestinian civilians including over 25
children. The invading army also demanded ethnic cleansing of the city of
Khan Younes (250,000 people). Humanitarian supplies are still forbidden and
people die of diseases and malnutrition. Politicians (local and global)
collude and aid war cries and crimes against humanity. You can watch this
mass killing live at https://www.aljazeera.net/live (Arabic Aljazeera is
better live coverage than the English one).

Impact on higher education institutions and a Unified Call for Justice and
Freedom in Palestine from Palestinian Higher Education institutions: Do not
be Silent during Israel’s Unfolding Genocide. More at:

29 November was declared by the UN as an International Day of Solidarity
with the Palestinian People. The date was picked because in 1947 on that
date the UN General assembly under pressure from the US abrogated (in a
first of its kind) the UN Charter by voting to recommend partition of
Palestine to give 55% of the country to a "Jewish state" when Jews were
less than 30% of the population and most of them colonial settlers (5%
native Jews). This abrogated the right of self determination. But the
resolution specifically called for an economic union and NO ETHNIC
CLEANSING. Ethnic cleansing happened and continue to happen with US
support.. The Mossad and CIA agents are meeting in Qatar to try to save the
Israeli apartheid system from its deteriorating situation (on many levels
political, economic, social, military, and public relations). Thus, on this
day of solidarity, all Palestinains, Israelis and Internationals of
conscience call on all people not yet engaged in this global uprising
(intifada) to expand and accelerate action. Without YOUR collective
actions, the genocide will resume and the war criminals will not be held to
