Dice una antigua plegaria hebrea :
“Que tus despertares te despierten . Y que al despertarte, el día que comienza te entusiasme. Y que jamas se tranformen en rutinarios los rayos del sol que se filtran por tu ventana en cada nuevo amanecer.
Y que tengas la lucidez de concentrarte y de rescatar lo más positivo de cada persona que se cruza en tu camino .
Y que no te olvides de saborear la comida, detenidamente, aunque solo sea pan y agua.
Y de encontrar algún momento en el día, aunque sea corto y breve, para elevar tu mirada hacia lo alto y agradecer por el milagro de la salud, ese misterio y fantástico equilibrio interno. Y que logres expresar el amor que sientes por tus seres queridos.
Y que tus abrazos, abracen. Y que tus besos, besen .
Y que los atardeceres no dejen de sorprenderte , y que nunca dejes de maravillarte.
Y que llegues con satisfacción al anochecer por la tarea realizada durante el día. Y que tu sueño sea calmo, reparador y sin sobresaltos.
Y que no confundas tu trabajo con la vida, ni tampoco el valor de las cosas con su precio. Y que no te creas más que nadie porque solo los ignorantes desconocen que no somos más que polvo y ceniza.
Y que no te olvides, ni por un instante que cada segundo de la vida es un regalo, un obsequio y que si fuéramos realmente valientes, bailaríamos y cantaríamos de alegría al tomar conciencia de ello.
Como un pequeñísimo homenaje al misterio de la vida que nos abraza y nos bendice “
Feliz 2024
Netanjahu: „Der Großteil des westlichen Antisemitismus ist das Werk russischer Strukturen und dieses widerwärtigen Dugins.“
Wow. Das kommt jetzt wirklich unerwartet von Bibi. So klare Worte gegen Russland und Putin´s Vordenker sind dann doch neu. TOP 👍
I have a very good relationship with Giorgia Meloni, and I respect her greatly. I am grateful to the people of Italy and everyone who supports Ukraine. But our gratitude is not just words. We are already sharing our experience. They receive feedback from us on which Italian-made and European-made weapons work and which do not, and what we have improved technologically. We share all of this with Italian manufacturers.
We have established joint production facilities in Italy and Ukraine – these are Ukrainian-Italian companies. We have a very good relationship with Leonardo. We are grateful to them. And they receive a lot from us. I am very glad that we support each other in this way and that the Italians’ level of technological expertise is increasing. Italians work at the enterprises and factories opening in Italy. I think this is also very important. It means not only jobs but also assistance for Ukraine and Italy.

What…
Russian propagandist Solovyev offers Trump to unite and attack Europe.
In exchange, he promises Trump a Peace Prize and Greenland. He suggests leaving the energy market to Russia.
"Let's divide Europe like brothers," Putin says through Solovyev's mouth.
Steve Witkoff to Putin:
“You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you, and I thank you.”
Sickening!
El delegado de Trump, Steve Witkoff, acaba de decirle a Putin: "Hablas tanto de que mi presidente, el presidente Trump, es un humanitario. Tú también eres un humanitario,
Russians now randomly murdering whole cars full of people in Kyiv with jet drones, now that the Starlink on which Ukraine's new interceptors rely no longer functions, due to Trump's operation to force Zelensky to sign a fake peace agreement to save US midterm elections.
Kyiv, this morning.
We suspected this was the reason Ukraine’s access to Starshield was restricted. But to see it from senior officials in this reporting is still utterly unconscionable.
Let’s be absolutely clear about what this means. The Trump Administration deliberately restricted technology Ukraine relies on to intercept Russian drones and ballistic missiles. It made it harder for Ukraine to defend itself and easier for Russia to carry out its deadly attacks against Ukrainian civilians.
They knew exactly what was at stake. They knew that more Russian drones and missiles would get through, allowing Russia to kill even more Ukrainians. And yet they went ahead anyway.
This is a deliberate weaking of Ukraine’s defenses that only Russia will benefit from. It is a betrayal of our ally that this Administration cannot wash its hands of.
The American people deserve to know who made this decision, why they made it, and how they can possibly justify putting more innocent Ukrainian lives in the crosshairs of Putin’s war machine.

NATO warns Zelensky that Trump could completely halt air defense supplies to Ukraine
The US has been supplying Ukraine with Patriot interceptor missiles irregularly in recent months, even though European allies have already paid for them.
According to Bloomberg, NATO officials have warned Ukrainian officials that deliveries could stop entirely if the conflict between Zelensky and Trump continues.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that Witkoff and Kushner intend to push Ukraine into a peace deal on Russia’s terms.
The Americans are trying to persuade Zelensky to abandon claims to occupied territories in exchange for a deal that would benefit Moscow.
With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop.
Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.
Russians at the front confirm, that the US cutting Starshield from Ukraine's frontline defenders is now allowing Russian troops to advance without pressure on their logistics. Ukraine has lost middle range strike abilities inside Ukraine.
This will cost thousands of Ukrainian lives.
Este vídeo de actualización sobre el desarrollo de #MIURA5 tiene mucho mucho progreso. Lo resumo en algunas imágenes clave en este hilo 🧵🪡. El avance es verdaderamente brutal.
❗️ Trump: “Honestly, Russia has behaved reasonably toward Ukraine overall. They haven’t done anything particularly extraordinary”
“We are currently negotiating with Putin over Ukraine, so I don’t want to derail the talks in the middle of negotiations.”
The Pentagon is delaying the delivery of Patriot missiles to Ukraine—missiles that have already been paid for by allies, reports *The Kyiv Independent*.
A shipment of missiles, fully funded by Ukraine’s allies (including through NATO mechanisms), is awaiting Hegseth’s signature; however, the Pentagon chief is deliberately blocking the process.
The Ukrainian leadership views this decision as another form of political pressure from Washington.
If this tweet upsets or appalls you, please consider contacting your senator or congressman or MP or whatever and begging them to halt foreign aid to Somalia until they implement a full ban on the mutilation of women and girls and take concrete steps to enforce it. It takes two minutes to Google the contact information and send an email. You can even copy/paste the following:
[Sir or Madam]
I am writing to urge you to use your voice to help the women and girls of Somalia, 99% of whom are cruelly mutilated in early childhood. By halting foreign aid to Somalia until their government bans female genital mutilation, and takes concrete steps to end the practice, we can prevent a lifetime of appalling suffering for millions of women and girls. Doing this would cost our country nothing, and would be a tremendous victory for human rights in a country that desperately needs one.
Thank you.
99% of women and girls in Somalia have been mutilated in the following way: the clitoris is cut off, along with the inner labia. Then the inner flesh of the outer labia is removed before both sides are sewn tightly together, leaving a hole no bigger than a matchstick for urine and menses to trickle through.
All of this is done in childhood, and without any form of anesthesia whatsoever. Sometimes the little girl is given a scrap of leather or a stick to bite down on. The cutters use old razor blades, or sometimes a piece of broken glass.
This is only the beginning of a girl’s pain.
Most wedding nights in Somalia are aided by “the little knife” — that is, the new husband slices his bride open so that he can penetrate her now cut and bleeding scar tissue. Some men, however, simply batter their way through, tearing that tiny hole open by sheer force. When a woman goes into labor, she’s cut open more widely, then sewn back up afterwards so that when sex resumes she will have to be cut open yet again.
This practice leads to countless deaths from infection and a drastic increase in maternal mortality, but Somali men still refuse to marry uncut women, forcing mothers to have their daughters cut or face social stigma. Uncut girls are seen as dirty; the term for clitoris is a playground taunt in Somalia, and girls who are not cut are usually ostracized by their peers.
The Somali government recently debated the legality of this appalling custom, and the parliament largely split along gender lines. Female MPs roundly condemned FGM, while male MPs insisted that having a clitoris made a woman more difficult to penetrate, and quoted the hadith in which Muhammad condoned the practice. These are educated men who nevertheless claim that cutting a girl is necessary in order to control her sexuality, and that an uncut woman will be promiscuous and untrustworthy.
In spite of the Somali government’s continued support for FGM, foreign aid continues to flow into Somalia unobstructed. The West should refuse to give the Somali government so much as a single dollar until they outlaw FGM and take positive steps to combat the problem.
One tactic that has been highly successful involves showing Somali men a video of a girl being mutilated. Because FGM is seen as women’s business, most men have no idea what it entails. Men who watch this video are horrified, and the most common reaction has been “Not my daughter!” This proves that FGM is not hopelessly entrenched in Somali culture. Western pressure and resources could make an enormous difference in the lives of Somali women and girls, and put a stop to this barbaric practice.
Je n’ai jamais été pro-israélien. Ni contre d’ailleurs. À vrai dire, je me fichais un peu de ce conflit.
Mais à force de voir des hordes de barbares tout saccager en arborant le drapeau palestinien, une pulsion étrange me vient : celle de penser que l’armée israélienne a peut-être compris quelque chose.
🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️The US does not agree to send Patriot missiles that have already been purchased for Ukraine: it was a significant delivery, - sources of the Kyiv Independent.
