I had chance to talk to my mother for 1 30 seconds. Then the line was cut. Her 76 years old spirit is good…. As she is now a refugee for a second time. She was born exactly on 1948 when Israel took her family’s land east of Gaza.

The biggest lie being spread about the war is that it has anything to do with saving the hostages.

The Israeli government is sacrificing the safety of the hostages specifically in order to wage the war.

Any other framing is a dishonest or ignorant way of justifying the war.

The poem in Arial: “look at this childish garbage! All the mean things I imagined people saying about me were right!”

The poem in Garamond: “should I send this masterpiece to Poetry or Guernica…or both?”
