In this short clip from 1970, Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani schools a western journalist on why 'peace talks' between the neck and the sword are never really about peace. Israel murdered him two years later.
Still as relevant today as it was 54 years ago.
Today a righteous man was killed by the most wicked army on earth. Khaled Nabhan who we watched bid farewell to his beloved Reem, the soul of our soul, has joined her in the realm of souls where the wickedness of this so called humanity will no longer reach them. The man had an angelic presence to say the least. He smiled in the face of a genocide, and went around hospitals and camps comforting people despite his own pain. A man who seemed too good to be here. I longed for the day to meet him in person. I imagined the day the genocide would be over and he would be celebrated with awards around the world on the biggest stages. The demonized turbaned Muslim man who was everything they said he couldn’t be. Kind. Loving. Righteous. Resilient. Too good for this world. Our hearts are broken. I won’t post the picture of his bloodied face, just the smile they tried to make the world unsee. May Allah have mercy on you our brother and join you with your beloved Reem and Rasul ﷺ, and may we join you there one day too.

When 12 people were k!lled in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March.
But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 100,000 civilians, 30,000 children, 207 UN aid workers, and 171 journalists in Gaza.
The banks the banks the banks
The banking federation CEO is Brian Hayes, the ex FG politician, the organiser of the 2020 Oireachtas Golf Society scandal, doesn't like a SF banking policy. Funny that.

Hillary Clinton on a podium at QUB pontificating about the benefits of peace & how a society prospers when killing stops. If Carlsberg did irony, this would be it. While students protested outside about Gaza, NI's great & good warmly welcomed a warmonger.
