There was a tranquil silence, except for the oar’s gentle splash, and the swishing noise of the vessel’s bow gliding through the calm water. There was a feeling of serenity and contentment in being alone in the early morning mist. He was in his own peaceful world travelling quietly, and effortlessly in the same manner …
The sound of the blast was bad Buried beneath all the rubble The burning skin was worse Then the pain from hunger No family left anymore No more tears to cry I want it all to end Death please Take me Now

APARTHEID AND GENOCIDE ARE NOT JEWISH VALUES Lacking humanity is not something that is desirable, or of any benefit to others. The people who are preventing humanitarian aid getting into Gaza, are no different from the people who have been dropping bombs there. They are just as inhumane. We get through life with the …
