@MorganicInk Longtime WA/SC looking for a writing opp. I write char driven genre stories about the complicated bonds of family. Anything from madcap family time travel adventure to sun soaked Noirs that uncover crime and corruption in the most unlikely places. #WGAstaffingboost
BOOM.
(Please help me spread this. @Columbia tried to smear my name. I wouldn’t let them. Today, they finally admitted that I hadn’t done anything wrong.)
As the sun sets on us in Israel and Shabbat begins,
I’m thinking about the past 7 days, seven days of hell. Sirens. Missiles. Explosions. Death. Fear. Bomb shelters.
If you’re posting or watching from LA or Paris, you don’t get it. Even if you visited or lived here before, you don’t get it. This isn’t a headline or a trending topic. It’s 3 am and you’re barefoot, running to shelter, heart pounding, wondering if this is the moment your building takes a direct hit. Explosions, the bomb shelter shaking, you feel like you might be killed next.
Over 500 missiles and drones were fired, not by proxies, but directly by Iran.
A Hospital was hit. A kindergarten. A family in Tamra killed. A family in Bat Yam. A Ukrainian girl seeking cancer treatment slaughtered with her family. 30,000 homes damaged. Thousands displaced. And yet—no emergency UN session. No outrage. Just silence.
Israel responded with precision, targeting military infrastructure, nuclear scientists. Strategic, surgical. But those facts don’t fit the narrative, so they get buried.
Instead, we are blamed, lied about, some even say we deserve it, and worse.
And still, we live. We speak. We create. We breathe.
To my Iranian friends: I know many of you don’t want this war either. I believe in a future where you can walk freely in Tel Aviv, and I can walk with you through the streets of Tehran.
But until then, we both need strength. We both need hope.
We will overcome.
Shabbat shalom.

Iranians are rising up against the Islamic Republic in the streets.
Earlier today, Israel took out the Iranian police headquarters, weakening their ability to suppress protesters.
Tonight, Iranians are organizing a nationwide protest.
Women. Life. Freedom.
@BenJohnson2018 Right there with you man but did have. great general, good networking and generated a dozen new feature ideas all this week (a few of which might be worth pursuing). Small wins but feel the tiniest momentum.
By definition…
Zionism took hold in the late 1800’s after centuries of persecution of the Jews. It is the belief that all Jews deserve a homeland. The systematic elimination of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust proved its necessity.
