In an ongoing policy of ethnic cleansing, Israeli authorities uproot fruit trees, raze farmland, destroy rainwater reservoirs and irrigation systems, and demolish homes. Meanwhile increasingly emboldened Israeli settlers — protected by soldiers — taunt families and vandalize property. The ultimate goal is to force Palestinians off the land. With the world’s attention diverted by the war on Gaza, displacement of West Bank Palestinians has increased dramatically in the past year.

Trump hugging Netanyahu

U.S. President Donald Trump is at it again. He made another bombastic Hamas last Monday threat to cancel the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal when he declared that if Hamas does not release all remaining hostages by noon on Saturday, the ceasefire should be canceled and the war in Gaza renewed.

To begin with, Trump has nothing to do with the ceasefire deal, even though he claimed credit for brokering the ceasefire. However, the deal was reached:

* Before Trump took office

* After more than year of negotiation. 

* Heroic resistance by Palestinian factions.

* Gazans instance to rather die from bombs and starvation than leaving. 

Netanyahu does not care about the hostages. He only cares about his coalition, staying in power, and not going to jail. He threatened war and his sidekick Trump irresponsibly followed suit. Trump was misled by Netanyahu that most of the hostages held in Gaza were dead. 

Neither before or after Trump has taken office did he express interest about the safety and welfare of the hostages, whether they were Palestinians or Israeli or even Americans to that effect. 

Awad Tayyour is a Palestinian businessman who holds several European citizenships and has a brilliant response to Trump's Gaza 'forced displacement' plan.
 
He is proposing to buy the White House no matter what the cost will be, and he will turn it into an international tourist attraction. Mr. Tayyour is offering $2 million in service fees to the person who can broker the deal with the White House owner.
 
To begin with, this may sound like a silly idea because the White House belongs to American people and not the President of the U.S.
 
The White House is known as "The People's House." The nickname reflects its openness to the public and its historical significance as the executive branch of the U.S. government.
 
At the same token, Gaza belongs to Palestinians, not Donald J. Trump. Gazans withstood 16 months of death, destruction, famine, and forced starvation and they will not be going anywhere else.

The news daily can be disheartening under this apartheid system: Raids on
bookshops and confiscating books, more ethnic cleansing, more
tortured Palestinian prisoners, more destruction of refugee camps (here in
West Bank), more lock-ups, more lies, .. We in Palestine remain struggling
to survive against all odds: An American empire run by a petty egomaniac
intent on making the rich richer, a Zionist movement and its followers who
commit worse atrocities than Nazis, collaborative Arab regimes that do not
really pay attention to their people, a web of lies from media, a
palestinian authority that remains trapped like a mouse on a glue trap
(Oslo) unable or unwilling to extricate itself, leaders who value their
position over their children's future, a populace that has been
domesticated and values merely watching and consuming (junk). And an apex
of absurdity a world leader (Trump) controlled by another leader
(Netanyahu) and both believing that the poor and weak are "losers" and
their oppressors/the rich are "winners".

By contrast there are millions of good people around the world who are

Was “Kamala Harris” a hologram?
 
How about “Al Gore”?  “John Kerry”?  “Hillary Clinton”?
 
And how about the “Democratic Party” that ran them…and that
now embraces irrelevance in a hollow, timid shell as Donald
Trump dismantles American democracy?
 
Despite the uncounted millions who organized, funded and voted
for them, those four Presidential candidates and their Party have
left American democracy in need dire of political leadership powerful
enough to regenerate an electoral system that actually answers to
its populace.
 
By a dubious official vote count, Donald Trump in 2024 carried
less than half the US electorate.  More than 75,000,000 citizens
are known to have voted for Harris.
 
But then she disappeared…as if she’d never run…as if the tens of
millions who organized, raised money, sweated blood and voted
for her had no reason to expect her to continue the fight. 
 
Harris has two downfalls in common with Gore, Kerry and
Clinton:

Here’s a strange question: Why is Elon Musk lying about Lutherans?

The richest man on earth recently forced good people across the country to interrupt their community work to respond to his lies and threats.

Lutheran social service agencies offer crucial assistance related to adoption, foster care, domestic violence, and more. They also support immigrants and refugees, helping new Americans learn English, find homes and jobs, and settle into their new communities.

Like many nonprofits, they often get federal support to offer this help.

But in early February, as Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” was forcing its way into government, right-wing activist Michael Flynn posted on social media that federal contracts with Lutheran social services organizations amounted to “money laundering.”

Musk responded that DOGE was “rapidly shutting down these illegal payments.”
