When the media blinks first and a government goes unchecked, you can expect the worst. The piece I wrote, together with @tullis.bsky.social for @motherjones.com about how this disaster looks in Israel and the consequences for Gaza. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Israel planned to transmit via megaphones, Netanyahu's UN speech in Gaza. Kind of reminds me of that 90s movie, Strange Days, in which a psychopath transmits to his victims' minds the joy he experiences while torturing them. #Gaza #Netanyahu #UN

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

Henk and Poca have been channeling Michelangelo on this holy weekend. (And yes, the cat rug is in need of some cleaning...)

I'm in awe of this people. Seriously. Unfortunately, this is the voice of reason. And currently, the voice of reason is so passé...

This looks super interesting. Can't wait to get a copy!

That's my life philosophy. Existentialism 101.

@truthdig.bsky.social published an interview of mine (Thanks!!!), talking to an amazing woman who defies traditions, toxic men, destinies, and ethnic segregation. May 2025 make Amoun Sleems of all of us. www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

I was away from Bsky for a bit. Just returned to find out cats have conquered yet another corner of the InterWebs. To be fair, personally, I can't find a nicer topic of conversation.

@nesrinemalik.bsky.social manages to say perfectly what words cannot describe.

Sometimes, I go gooey... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great. As if AI, Elon Musk, and global warming weren't enough. Now there's another potential annihilation to freak out about.

I don't know if the good guys won in Syria. But I do know the bad guys lost. In the current state of the world, and the Middle East in particular, I'll take that.

That’s the most unexpected version of Jingle Bells I’ve ever heard. Makes me crazy happy to see a moment of joy in a crazy sad Middle East. (Video from Fasuta - village in Northern Israel).

Read the report compiled by Dr. Lee Mordechai and published by Israeli daily Ha'aretz about the war crimes in Gaza. I don't know what to say about it. I should probably scream from the rooftops. But any word would be a desecration. To cry and weep. How did we come to this?

Israel and Lebanon look like they are about to sign a cease-fire agreement. Awesome. But for the nightmare in Gaza and the fate of the hostages? No end in sight. Just another day for the unbearable.
