We marched tonight across Israel calling to end the war, stop the killing of innocents in Gaza, and bring back the hostages.

We are the peace movement inside Israeli society. We speak in Hebrew and Arabic, and led by Jews and Palestinians. How to recognize us? Look for purple 🟣

Incredible detail about the imperial hierarchy here: 3 Americans refused to be evacuated w/o replacement doctors being allowed in, so they let out 3 Brits in their place. There are also Australians, Egyptians, and Jordanians in the medical mission, but they weren’t offered a seat

LOST but FOUND Lamb Chop (?) at Reagan National #losttoy

The Iranian president's helicopter has crashed and it is not yet clear whether he has survived or not.

If he is dead, power will be transferred to VP Mohammad Mokhber, but new elections must be called within the next 50 days.

Iran just held a parliamentary election.

Hard to imagine that in Israel there are people who actually attack and prevent truck loads of food aid into Gaza. But also inspiring that there is an Israeli group committed to counteracting this barbaric behaviour to make sure it does get through. Where do such divisions lead?

Ooo! Bring back 'friendship sheets' please:

Still no 'obol,' #SpellingBee ?

The way to stop this suffering is an arms embargo now.

I never thought that my life as a 22 year old would be the constant filming of parents screaming for their dead children, the screams will haunt me forever, these screams will haunt me day and night .

What is wrong with us???

Boy does this sounds familiar -- 'Logging in Victoria’s [Australia] native forests ended at the beginning of this year but [forest ecologist] David Lindenmayer said 'There’s a de facto logging industry now emerging under the guise of fire suppression.'' theguardian.com/australia-news…

At our synod meeting in Amman, everyone supported Lulu Nasir, mother of Layan, 23 year old held in admin detention in Israel. Archbishop Hosam, along with AB Michael (Dublin & Glendalough) plus Brendan Metcalfe of Friends of the Holy Land call for Layan’s immediate release.
