Yes. It’s godawful what we have watched our government do. Not only bombing and torturing and burning but now starving— all in the name of FREEDOM, is just gutting. I get into despair too, wishing for the species to go extinct but then I look around at all the decent people, the ones demonstrating or sending money, the doctors and nurses working in Gaza, sometimes at the cost of their lives, the aide workers trying to get those trucks thru. The Houthis fighting back in their little rubber boats and rocking the economic world while they do it. Three of the “5 Eyes” finally finding a backbone and calling for ceasefire, and I’m amazed at how much good there is in the world. I used to think it was Pollyanna to look for the good but now I see it as my duty, in honor of the Gazans and all they’re suffering to take down the Great Satan and the mini-me Satan. And I send what I can to UNRWA. It ain’t much but it keeps me from letting my government steal my soul.

Plus, Ireland just gave $21 million to UNRWA so there ARE decent people in the West. Plus Clare Daly, Ireland’s EU minister is singeing the backsides of the neo liberal countries ignoring Gaza with a moral conscience I wish we could generate here.
