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.

News: Youngstown State University follows Ohio State University in appointing a retired military man as president. Radically gerrymandered Ohio US Representative Bill Johnson—best known as a roaring Trumpist and loud election denier—served in the US Air  Force for 26 years.

Unlike “Top Gun” Ted Carter who retired as a vice admiral in the Navy and led 1200 student vocational US Naval Academy and briefly the University  of Nebraska System but never a large academic campus, Johnson retired as lieutenant colonel. Condemned by all YSU parties including faculty, students, and alumni, much like his OSU football coach predecessor Jim Tressell, Johnson has no relevant preparation or experience. Tressell at least knew the locker room.

That no longer matters in Ohio, much as State Senator Jerry Cirino wishes.

About “UnCharitable”

After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.

Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional constraints, so that they can truly change the world.

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.

Facebook Event

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).
