“The priority is to stop the genocide.”

“End of the genocide. End of the occupation. End of the apartheid.”

“This is what it means applying international law.”

—UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese

Israel wipes out the village of Meis al-Jabal in South Lebanon.

A village that has stood for centuries.

A war crime and a crime against humanity.

While the “international community” just watches in silence.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves playing a piano that was left standing in a destroyed home in southern Lebanon. In response, the piano’s owner shared a video of her playing the instrument before Israel’s ground offensive.

Written & the voice of Seamus McDermott, my brother in law, creative director-filming, Jim Mc Dermott, my godson. In 2020 I didn’t want to dwell on this rhetoric, the power of suggestion is too powerful, I’m loving peace, Now? https://t.co/e6sb37JkCZ

Honoured, extra special for two reasons, the award is in memory of a fantastic women who has a major influence on my life and my writing, the poem is about my Grandfather a special person in my life who also had a major positive influence, both sorely missed.
