Joy and hope are still hesitant to show themselves, but with the hostages’ return and the end of the war, they’ll come back into our lives.
Here I'm hugging Einav Zangauker, who has been told that her son Matan, held captive in Gaza since October 7th, is coming home.

Tears of joy and celebratory gunfire: how Gaza and Israel reacted to news of ceasefire deal

An initially improbable peace plan put forward by US president Donald Trump was on Thursday agreed to in its ‘initial phase’ by Israel and Hamas

Trump may be the worst thing that ever happened to the United States, but he might just be Israel’s savior. I guess Trump works in mysterious ways.

We will keep on marching until the hostages are back home, the war ends, Netanyahu is gone and democracy prevails.

I miss Quale. In comparison, he was a rocket scientist.

It is also passive because so many do nothing to stop it. Even among people who know better.

Hit the streets. Mobilize ahead of the midterm. Resist. Before it is too late.

It's been too hard living, But I'm afraid to die. 'Cause I don't know what's up there, Beyond the sky. It's been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change gon' come. Oh yes, it will

I love it, but how do you avoid AI? I have been drifting to exams and quizzes just because it is becoming almost imposible to detect original work. Any solutions?

Israel Sergio Waismel-Manor @israelwaismelmanor.bsky.social · Aug 20

We won’t stop fighting in the streets until every hostage is back home and this brutal war ends!

Interesting. You'll have to tell me more. No time to read for fun before APSA...

Terrific. And when you are done, we could use an updated one on political behavior. Take your time.

Did he have the authority to do all the things he did during the last year?

Israel Sergio Waismel-Manor @israelwaismelmanor.bsky.social · Aug 8

Resist. Before it is too late.

Day one of our sit-in. Bring back the hostages and end the war!
Like David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell A. Blair, Jr., and Joseph McNeil's Feb. 1, 1960 sit-in in Greensboro NC, it is time to stop and say enough is enough.

In light of yesterday’s horrifying images, it is now clear to all — on the 666th day of the hostages captivity — who is in bed with the devil.

Because I was arrested for protesting against Netanyahu's government, Canada was a bit reluctant to issue me a visa. Thanks to some good people it was resolved, so if they do not arrested again, I'll be happy to see many of you in Vancouver at APSA.

Week 1: block all members of the Israeli government entry to foreign nations, including family members.
Week 2: Freeze all personal international assets.
Week 3: Investigate all of them for whatever is happening now in Gaza - no need to name it before hand.

Do the same for Hamas. No exceptions!

Israel Sergio Waismel-Manor @israelwaismelmanor.bsky.social · Jul 29

Sanctions.

More audiobooks when I can, and no work books before bed.

Israel Sergio Waismel-Manor @israelwaismelmanor.bsky.social · Jul 28

So would you consider it a positive thing? :) Congratulations!

Yeah, but everybody knows that Jesus had blue eyes and spoke English with a British, not NY, accent.
