@buitengebieden Soft lining to a nest.
Left my window open one Oct day & that night there was a hole chewed in the screen, 2 empty boxes of Kleenex on the floor & a squirrel peeking in the window. Later I got into bed & a corner was filled with ripped up Kleenex. Heโd made a nest & left fleas.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine is a deeply troubling and long-standing issue, one that continues to inflict pain and suffering on countless individuals and families. As a human rights activist, I am deeply committed to the principles of peace, justice, and the recognition of the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their background.
It's important to remember that at the heart of this conflict are real peopleโmothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and childrenโwho deserve to live in peace and security. The violence and suffering on both sides are heartbreaking, and it is crucial that we strive for a resolution that prioritizes the well-being of all.
As we observe the ongoing situation, I encourage all parties involved to consider the profound human rights implications of their actions. I believe that peace is not a distant dream but an achievable goal, and it can only be realized through dialogue, empathy, and a sincere commitment to ending the cycle of violence.
To the international community, I urge continued support for peaceful dialogue, humanitarian assistance, and efforts to address the root causes of this conflict. It is essential that we work together to bring an end to the suffering, create conditions for a just and lasting peace, and ensure that human rights are respected and protected for everyone in the region.
While I am currently residing in Canada, my heart goes out to all those affected by this conflict, and I stand in solidarity with those who are advocating for a peaceful resolution. Let us remember that peace is not just an absence of conflict; it is the presence of justice, equality, and respect for the human rights of all individuals.#IsrealUnderAttack #IsraelPalestineWar #HumanRights #ISIS_HAMAS #PalestineUnderAttack #Isreal #Canada #USA #Egypt #HAMAS #ISIS

1/ On How Short Life Is
A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.
Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"
It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...
If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners, because you represent yourself, not others.โค๏ธ๐
