Having listened to friends' endless stories about delayed trains, truncated journeys, overcrowded carriages & a general dismal service on the West Coat Line... I now would never consider using the train for any journey (and as such have given up even thinking of going down to #London).

If I wasn't;t retired & having to travel for #work, then I would defiantly be favouring my car (again).

If we are ever going to achieve a #greentransition then the chaos on the #railways has to be resolved!

There's a gang in my area and they recruit members by threatening them with all kinds of punishments if they don't join.

But enough about the church...

"A 91-year-old man honored by Israel for saving a Jewish life during the Nazi Holocaust has returned his medal in protest of the Gaza assault. Henk Zanoli was given Israel’s Righteous Among the Nations award for his actions under Nazi occupation in Amsterdam. In 1943, Zanoli smuggled out a Jewish boy and helped hide him in his home for two years, despite Nazi suspicion he and his family backed the resistance.

“I am not writing for sympathy or to make the world understand.

Images from Gaza speak louder than words. The images are clear, no further details are needed.

I am writing only to remind myself of how the world abandoned us, how it oversaw our suffering and death.

The spilling of our blood did not move the world to action.

The day this war ends, we will return to life. It will be the date of our rebirth.

From that day on, we will mourn for a long time for the rubble of our beautiful city. A city destroyed not just by Israel but by the entire world.

My message to the world is simple: I hope that the images of all our martyrs and our destroyed homes haunt your dreams as long as you live.”

Actual CNN headline: "A billionaire thinks workers slacked off during COVID"

Just wait until he finds out what workers did before COVID.

Occasionally, I think about the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist bombing, which was shocking and horrific in itself, and how no countries were bombed in retaliation. The conspirators were arrested, tried, and sent to prison.

That's what I expected to happen after 9/11. Instead, Bush, Cheney, and the New American Century people encouraged Americans to be their worst selves for the sake of their own political, financial, and imperial ambitions.

This is a war crime. This is intentional genocide. This is an attempt to destroy Palestine as an idea, a dream, a possibility. This is mass murder and ethnic cleansing, being done in our name, using our resources.

I am against Hamas.
I am against the extremist Israeli government.
I am against antisemitism.
I am against war crimes.

I am pro peace.

You can be all these things at the same time.
