Thanks to Ali for supply the link again.  I checked the send email and it was there, so why it doesn’t show on WordPress I don’t understand.   Hugs.

    1. Hi Suze. It sure seems that way. What is worse is that Biden has allowed the US to be complicit in it also. It is US warplanes dropping US bombs on the tents that is all the Gazans have left. The US has a law that our weapons can not be used in an inhuman manner or in abuse of citizens, yet the state department and Biden are ignoring the law. And they are lying about it saying Israel is respecting the civilians buying into the idea that all Palestinians are Hamas. But new reporting about the long time abuse of Palestinians, the sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees, and the fact that Israel has deliberately shot reporters along with aid workers / first responders / bombing hospitals so the true death totals won’t get reported. 99 doctors reported that Israel deliberately targeted children with sniper fire. Hugs.

      1. I lost a good friend this week in the bombings. A doctor that George and I worked with years ago in Guatemala with Doctors without Borders. He was in a makeshift clinic that the bombs missed but a building next to him fell on his “clinic”. What we are doing to aid a genocide is not who we are supposed to be.

        1. Hi Suze. My sympathy. I grieve with you for the loss of your friend and the fact he died in a bombing. I liked your comment only because I am glad you felt comfortable enough to share your pain with us. In honor of your friend and the honorable heroic work he was doing when Ron gets paid on Wednesday we will go to Doctors without Borders and give a donation. Thank you for sharing. As to what we are doing supporting this. No offense to any older person but as people age changing their mind set is harder and harder. Biden has a mind set from the beginning of Israel and why it was needed. He can not seem to change that shining good Israel with or to the horrible one that exist today. He talks constantly of meeting with the first leaders of Israeli … who by the way were all considered terrorist just like Hamas and Hezbollah that fight the oppression of their people. One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Again sorry for your loss of your friend. Hugs. Scottie

          1. I teared up when I read you wished to donate to DWB……they do such good work. I figure George is hanging out with his friend in some other dimension and having a ball…..don’t believe in heaven or hell so I sent my love into the third dimension in my head…lol

            1. Good news Suze. Finally and far too late the US has told Israel that humanitarian aid must dramatically increase and the civilians cared for or all future arms shipments will be restricted or conditioned. Maybe the situation has gotten past Biden’s complete Zionism. Hugs

                1. Hi Suze. I just hope they mean it and it is not just words. This came from state and the military, but not from Biden as I understand. I might be wrong I will look it up. Now that my friend is awake and texting me again that I feel relieved enough to move forward with checking it out in the morning. But yes it is a good thing. Oh he is in a lot of pain, the surgery was very bad according to the doctor the worst they had seen / done of a sigmoid colon resection. They ended up having to take it all. He is suffering but ALIVE. I am not minimizing his pain nor what he will go through the next few weeks but I am so happy he lived. I have been online and there for him every time he wakes up. Hugs

                    1. Suze I am sorry you lost your friend. Thank you for caring about my friend. The doctor told my friend that they had to take the entire sigmoid colon as it was the worst he had seen. Kamyk was complaining about being in a lot of pain, but it has gotten better. They are giving him Morphine, Tylenol 2, and Oxycontin. He will need to go to a rehab / nursing home type place for a bit and he has a colostomy bag. They say they can not reattach the colon and intestines for a couple of weeks at least. But the horrible intestinal problems he has had for so long will be gone now and he will be able to eat normally. Hugs.

    1. Thank you Ali. I amended the post. The weird thing is I checked the email that it sent out for the post and it had the link. I do not understand why AP is the only one that won’t post the link, WordPress treats it like a virus. I will have to send AP stories to myself and then forward them to the blog personally, adding more steps. Thank you for catching that. Hugs.
