Regardless of whether I agree with it or not, it's up to the Palestinians to decide for themselves, and we must respect their decisions. None of us should take our eyes off Gaza or the West Bank, nor let up on any of the pressure to external actors.

For example:

Luxembourg is allowing Israel to continue to raise money for its annihilation of Palestinians. Luxembourg’s recognition of Palestine must carry meaning. It cannot be paired with providing the financing that helps destroy Palestine’s future.

Take action today - Don't let up the pressure simply because there may be an agreement to cease hostilities. The genocide is ongoing and the perpetrators must not be allowed to go back to business as usual.

FIFA and UEFA are meeting about whether to expel Israel from their tournaments. Take action today, because actions of this kind may be one of the only things that matters to those committing the atrocities against the Palestinian people. Tell FIFA to ban Israel from playing in the 2026 World Cup:

I don’t trust Israel, the land of psychopaths, or “stab you in the back” Trump. But I trust Hamas.

who thinks that netanyahu, and those who help him stay in power, will adhere to the negotiated terms? or, if so, for how long?

as to trusting #47, that looks like a mega-high-risk gamble to me. whichever way we look at it, relentless bombardment, brute force, has pushed the oppressed into yet another corner. i still remember netanyahu repeatedly asserting: "there will be no palestinian state."

and yet, we have to aspire for it, don't we? against ALL odds!

The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing will continue to be vital in bringing the culprits to justice. This in ongoing and something we should support.

Support the Hind Rajab Foundation

https://donate.stripe.com/cN228hbY5g7jaM84gg

On 19 September 2025, in Athens, the Hind Rajab Foundation filed a war crimes complaint against Naor Shlomo Dadon, a Givati Brigade soldier who documented his role in arson, home demolitions, and the burning of a school sheltering civilians in Gaza. While Dadon now attends a Greek “healing retreat” for combat veterans, HRF urged Greece to apply universal jurisdiction and prove that Europe cannot be a sanctuary for perpetrators of genocide and war crimes.

They are doing a lot more. Find out here:

I am praying the bombing and killing will end. I am praying food and supplies will enter and be distributed Fairly. I am praying IDF will withdraw from Gaza. Please God. But I worry Trump could go back on his word. Israel could just keep on bombing. They have been bombing more since Trump said to stop. Also no mention of West Bank in the plan Also about 2 weeks ago Trump was asking for 800 million I think, dollars for arms for Israel. Worrisome times undeed

I haven't had loved ones killed and my home destroyed so that now my address is a tent and my bathroom facilities are wherever I can find half a square meter of ground, I haven't had to endure those losses and humiliations, but "high-stakes gamble" and "trust in Trump" isn't a formula that points in a positive direction.

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Stop the techno-genecide

From AI to cloud services to propaganda, Big Tech is fueling the genocide in Gaza. There's a letter-writing campaign to join. The letter itself is a bit wimpy. Please feel free to add or revise it before sending.

I am very worried all round for Palestine and all its people. Negotiating with truly evil people.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the People of Palestien for the success of their Nation and its people as they attempt peace and survival, of their citizens and culture, in the face of reliance on the word and promises of a Politician with little to no understanding of much of what he does and the ability to change what he promises to his convenience and his profit, in reputation, wealth and power. Not only do they counter an Isreli government that seeks their destruction, absolutely, but it is being led by a man and his minions who make no claim to protection of their people, in this negotiated process.

Were one square meter of Palestine being given in exchange for each Palestinian who died or became disabled in Israel's relentless genocide, Israel would be disappeared. As it is, there appears to be no price paid by those who destroyed Gaza and the West Bank, took many of its people captive and sought to kill Palistinians citizens by any means necessary. That is not a peace deal no matter if every Palistinian on Earth votes it be accepted. The governments of the world, with any humanity left to them, must object to these terms and to the "guarantees" that come with them, to insist on a ceasefire and surrender to UN forces, any means of Israel continuing this war and must send UN troops to oversee distribution of humanitarian aide to all nations attacked by Israel, during this conflict.

Sounds like a big risk, but a sliver of light beats endless darkness.

Maybe if we can get the Nobel Committee to promise Trump his Peace Prize, but withhold it until 2029 as a little extra insurance?
