It is quite obvious to me that when you bomb, mutilate and kill you create hatred.
At present both the Israelis and Palestinians are run by fanatical religious extremists. The fundamentalist Jews are as bad as the Islamist Hamas.
Peace does not come with bombs and rockets – it comes with talks and reparation.
It is good to see sane Jews looking for reconciliation rather than racist humiliation. They need to kick out the racist fascists who setting the agenda. Likewise the Palestinians need to dump Hamas and get real!
We need common sense, tolerance and humility – not guns, threats, bombs and rockets!!!
It is ironic how the oppressed have become the oppressors and behave like the Nazis they despise. Hamas feeds off it. They want hate, violence an death. It’s their biggest recruiter.
5 m · It was so beautiful to see THOUSANDS of Jews standing openly and proudly with Palestinians at rallies around the world this weekend. Palestinians said to go ALL OUT for Nakba Day — and an unprecedented number of Jews heeded their call.Our members co-sponsored, spoke at, or attended rallies in at least 36 US cities, some of which had contingents of Jews that numbered in the hundreds. The tide is shifting. We are supporting Palestinians’ liberation struggle. We are building Jewish community beyond Zionism. We are standing with the oppressed against the oppressor.Though the most visible and powerful Jews may continue to prop up Israel’s settler-colonial, apartheid regime, remember that the Jews in the streets want Palestine to be free.#NakbaDay#Nakba73
Papa Jose – The Only Good Addiction is Love
Love
Is the only
Good addiction.
That is the magic of Mujica.
Fairness
Is the only
Thing worth being shot for.
That is the magic of Mujica.
Equality
Is the only
Struggle worth a bean.
That is the magic of Mujica.
Freedom
Is the only
Dream to hang on to.
That is the magic of Mujica
Hope
Is only one
Of the gifts
That Jose Mujica radiates.

Papa Jose – The Only Good Addiction is Love
Jose Majica is an old man, a past President of Uruguay, a fat old contented man, living modestly in a little house no bigger than most of his compatriots. He is a man who spurned the trappings of power and wealth. He is a man that has been shot three times for his beliefs and refused to die. He was a terrorist rebel. He stood for fairness, justice and equality.
He is one of the few who put those values into practice when he achieved power. For Jose it was not rhetoric.
He was a liberaliser and a pragmatist.
He legalised marijuana but insisted that it was not good. He stated that the only good addiction was love. But it was better for the health of the people if the drug was controlled and the money taken out of the hands of the underworld.
He chuckles a lot. He is old and fat but still full of fire. I wish he ruled the world.
