My wife Eileen passed away this week. A passionate advocate for justice & equality, she helped shape the work I do, tempering my soul & speech making me a better person. During our 56 yrs we worked on everything from Palestinian rights to reforming the Catholic Church. I miss her

Pro-Israel advocates aren’t happy! They might still be able to pressure some leaders to cower, but they’re losing support big-time among the rank & file. Latest: Young Democrats of America resolution calling Israel’s actions in Gaza “an ongoing genocide.” jewishinsider.com/2025/07/young-…

What’s happening in Gaza isn’t famine. It’s murder. That’s what we must call Israel’s forced starvation of millions of Palestinians. Despite being too difficult to view, it must been seen. Because the US & other nations of influence are allowing this murder to occur.

On my walk: a neighbor’s sidewalk overflowing w/ Coneflowers, Black-eyed Susans, Phlox, Ferns, & Lilies. It’s wild & wondrous.

Palestinian man walks calmly in Hebron with his arms raised. The Israeli soldiers shoots him in the back. This happens all the time for a simple reason: The impunity the US & Europe provide Israel not only enables this, it encourages the steady increase of Israeli war crimes.

Gaza is starving. Three versions of denial: 1-literal denial (it never happened) 2-interpretative denial (it’s not what you think it is) 3-implicatory denial (we have to do it/it’s terrible, but it’s not our fault) ➡️lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/… tiktok.com/@aljazeeraengl…

130 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in Gaza this weekend. People are starving. Many were shot by the Israeli military while simply trying to get food. This is completely insane and unacceptable. No more U.S. military aid to Israel.

Israel’s sadistic cruelty knows no limits. Neither does US & European tolerance for it. How can they continue to be silent & take no action to end this insanity? Israel is starving Palestinians & then killing them when, in desperation, they try to get food nytimes.com/2025/07/20/wor…

Pope Leo calls for an end to 'barbarity' in Gaza.

The claim that Orthodox and Catholic Christians in Palestinian communities aren’t “true Christians” is reprehensible—an attempt to erase the identity of a people living in the Levant since ancient times and alienate Christianity from its ancestral home, the place of Jesus Christ.

Israel is rapidly advancing its plan to move Gaza’s Palestinians into a concentration camp (called a “Humanitarian City”) & not an official peep from Arab or European capitals. Why focus on the distraction of negotiations - when a devastating reality is unfolding. Boycott now!

Israel doesn’t seek regional peace. It wants regional submission under Israeli domination. Because it’s neither trusted nor liked & has nothing to offer, it can only achieve dominance w/ the political, military, & economic support of the US. It’s our regional colonial “cat’s paw”

Somebody’s gotta pay for it!

The EU’s refusal to suspend its trade agreement w Israel is a criminal betrayal of the EU’s laws/values Siding with genocidial Gov’t that is mass slaughtering/ starving babies/civilians and torturing doctors…will be remembered as embracing fascism and a triumph of lawlessness.

You can see her cover her ears and start running as soon as she hears the sound of an incoming Israeli strike. Palestinian children have become so used to bombs falling from the sky because the world has normalized their slaughter.

We’re facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations—and it doesn’t have to be this way. Today, communities are coming together to make sure #GoodTroubleLivesOn - Find an event near you at the link below goodtroubleliveson.org

Israel bombs children trying to get water & says it was a mistake. They bomb a Catholic Church & it too was a mistake. At what point do we decide that 60,000 dead & 70% of homes demolished & mass starvation are not mistakes. They are Israeli policy.

“US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stereotypes the Irish.” He should be removed. Using racist stereotypes about Irish & alcohol is a disgraceful way to state your disagreement w/ the Irish effort to ban products from Israel’s illegal occupation. Shame irishcentral.com/news/mike-huck…

There’s only one Middle East country that in recent days has bombed 3 neighboring countries all of which they have invaded & whose lands they are occupying. Hint: begins w/ an “I” & it’s not Iran Hint: the US is arming & providing political backup for this country.

From Israel’s Haaretz: There are Oct 7th stories happening to Palestinians every single day, but US presidents and Congress don’t give a damn. They think “It’s only Arabs.” But if it were Israelis, they’d move heaven & earth.
