Great Opportunity....

You can watch "A Short Course on Palestine", taught by Rashid Khalidi, here.  It's  five sessions.

For those of you who don’t know about him, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Rashid Ismail Khalidi (Arabic: رشيد خالدي; born November 18, 1948) is a Palestinian-Americanhistorian of the Middle East and the Edward SaidProfessor Emeritus of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University.[2][3] He served as editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies from 2002 until 2020, when he became co-editor with Sherene Seikaly.[4]

He has authored a number of books, including The Hundred Years' War on Palestine and Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness; has served as president of the Middle East Studies Association; and has taught at the Lebanese University, the American University of Beirut, Georgetown University, and the University of Chicago.[3] Khalidi retired from Columbia University on October 8, 2024.[5]

Heartbreaking...

This little Palestinian girl was running as fast as she could to reach the water truck — clutching her containers, desperate to fill them before it left. She stumbled, got up, and kept running. Another person rushed to help her immediately.

She shouldn’t have to do this. She should be in school, laughing with her friends, not racing for water. But this is what injustice looks like.

Our photographer, a teen himself, was filming nearby when it happened. Some might ask, “Why did he take a picture instead of helping?” The truth is, the photo isn’t a replacement for care — it’s a witness to a reality no child should ever face.

I just hope she’s okay

Open the border crossings NOW...

Palestine International Broadcast

The World Health Organization’s representative in the occupied Palestinian territories, Peter Beberkor, warned that recovery for severe and chronic cases in Gaza could take up to ten years if border crossings remain closed.

He urged the immediate opening of all crossings to deliver medical supplies and evacuate 15,000 patients, including 4,000 children, for treatment outside Gaza — as outlined in the Sharm El-Sheikh plan. Beberkor stressed that many patients’ conditions are worsening and that “many children, women, and men will die unnecessarily” unless medical evacuations expand quickly.
