Trying something out. Had some fun while I was out walking.
Shakespeare wrote this more than 400 years ago, but it so describes England today it could have been written this morning.
Her name was Hind Rajab — just 5 years old.
Trapped in a car for 48 hours, surrounded by Israeli tanks, she begged for help.
They executed her with 355 bullets.
Never forgive. Never forget.
The shift from rural to urban living over the past century has severed something fundamental in how people relate to the natural world. When the majority of the population lived close to the land, there was an intuitive understanding of cycles, seasons, and the forces that shape our environment. That connection provided a kind of grounding, a reference point against which information could be tested. Today, with most people living in cities, that direct relationship with nature has been replaced by abstract narratives and secondhand information. The concern is not simply nostalgia for a simpler time. It's about what happens when people lose that grounding. Without firsthand experience of natural systems, individuals become more vulnerable to narratives that don't align with observable reality. For young people especially, opportunities to engage directly with the natural world are not just recreational. They are essential for developing the discernment needed to navigate the flood of information and ideology that defines the modern era.

This is what the Israeli guards said to Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh
the moment he arrived at Ofer
Prison.
20 guards then beat him to death.
All because he refused to abandon his patients at the Al-Awda hospital in Gaza.
