“The precise role of the artist, then, is to illuminate that darkness … so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”
— James Baldwin

“When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That’s if you want to teach them to think.”
— Bertrand Russell

@johnondrasik Two former Israeli ambassadors to South Africa co-authored an op-ed concluding that Israel had become an apartheid state. They cite the 2-tiered legal system in the West Bank and forcing Palestinians to live on smaller and smaller tracts of land. https://t.co/Gj7aQEgZ9W
U.N. investigator Francesca Albanese is seen by her supporters as a rare and forceful voice piercing the cone of silence and indifference that has fallen over Gaza.
This has earned her powerful enemies.

MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

@haymoney@AdamMossoff Members of the IDF operated a propaganda channel on the social media platform Telegram titled, “72 Virgins-Uncensored.” Its target audience was Israeli citizens, and the channel showed videos and posted photos celebrating and mocking the death and abuse of Palestinians.
