Jessie and I are now in the USA for two weeks giving talks that link our struggles for justice (see article below).

To love the land, Even when it's burnt. To love freedom,
Even when it looks impossible.

Even when it's far away.
To love the old house,
Even when it's just rubble....
Such is to practice love.
In a loveless world, ...Daily.

From Poet Khawla Badwan's "Keep Telling of Gaza."

The 2024 report will be released in January but to see our 2023 work, here is that annual report (2024 was obviously more challenging with an ongoing genocide and very difficult times also in the West Bank) and this is our 10 year anniversary booklet. To Volunteer. To Donate.

My thoughts on genocide and coloniality.

Diary from Gaza.

I am starving in Gaza and I don't believe the world can't do anything.

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
