In 2011 I fostered a baby boy whose father was Muslim. Wanting to better understand the culture and needs of the family, I reached out to the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD), who welcomed me with open arms. I was invited to classes, to tour the mosque, to participate in their community. I was never pressured to defend my beliefs nor expected to change anything about myself. The ICSD continued to support me and this family for as along as that baby was with me..
"My religion instructed me to do so"

A religion of love and compassion not of fear and hate. Allah bless this man.
Someone warned me in 2023 that, owing to my posts on Palestine, my book career was over, (but I could fix it w/loud repentance). Predictably, I told him to fuck off.
Well, this Sunday,The Black Swan, after 18 years, is back on NYT Bestseller List.
Never compromise.
If any other country did this, the "West" would lose its mind and go to war. Now? Not even a condemnation...
A Palestinian orthopedic nurse was shot in the knee by Israeli soldiers for refusing to stop operating on a wounded patient. He is later taken prisoner by the Israelis for 45 days.

Dr. Perlmutter, a world renowned hand surgeon from North Carolina, was on CNN THIS morning telling the world about Israel’s war crimes and hours later the IDF firebombed the top floor of the hospital where he was working.

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...
'I was building a life with my wife'
A Palestinian father mourns his pregnant wife and 1-year-old son who were killed by an Israeli air attack as they slept in a ‘safe zone’ in Gaza.
Apologies to the residents of the East Coast displaced by hurricane Helen. You will, like the residents of Hawaii, get virtually nothing from the government to replace your shattered livelihoods.
Our tax dollars are going to Israel to effectuate a messianic genocide.
Before Zionism, my grandfather, as well as hundreds of thousands of Arab Jews, could travel anywhere in the Levant, make friends, connections, and business contacts anywhere in his Arabic mother tongue, and be treated as a friend and neighbor. Many did just that and lived their best lives among the native communities of the land.
There is no bigger political dream for me than a return to the glorious simplicity of those days. Because, when I look at people like this man (just as I feel when I see and hear the people of Gaza, Quds, or Al-Khalil), I immediately recognize a relative. A brother.
And I want to curse with all my heart the stupid violent disgusting borders and walls brought to the Levant, and the wider Middle East, by European colonialism and Zionism.

Israel bombed the entrance of Al-Fakhoura School, a designated “safe zone” for children to get the polio vaccine. My friend’s baby nephew, who was scheduled for vaccination today, is now internally bleeding from shrapnel in his spine/lungs. “It’s the same lie & mockery by Israel”
“After this genocide is over, I will pursue my life dreams, no matter how long it takes—even if it takes 50 years. I aim to achieve so much that everyone will remember my name.”
Rest in peace Medo. I will remember your name.
