It is clear, the Mexican American protesters are against the racist Trump’s message to build a 2000 mile wall. They are against separating families and deporting the 11M here. They are against the racist Trump’s promise to END Birthright Citizenship and deport (as he calls) “Anchor Babies.” These fearless and strong Mexican Americans will NOT go gentle into this good night. Rage on! Rage on against the racist message of Donald Trump! The racist Trump should expect the same treatment once he is selected as the Republican candidate. While his halls are filled with racist, countrified white men, expect minorities, Latinos, Women, Asian-Americans, African Americans, Muslim Americans, the LGBT community, ALL of us to Rage On against Trump! As Hillary said, “If you see BIGOTRY you should Oppose It!” Trump’s racist response to the protesters: “I expect I was crossing the border.” So clear he sees ALL Latinos as “illeeegals.” Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Niqab-wearing tourist stopped from entering Italian museum – The Local
The Musei Eremitani, located in the cloisters of a former convent, houses the city’s archaeological museum and medieval art gallery, as well as provides access to the Scrovegni chapel – the walls of which are daubed with world-famous Giotto frescoes. When she refused the request and demanded to know why she was not being permitted access to the museum, staff called the police, who eventually convinced the woman to show her face so they could check her identity. After she was identified, the woman and her husband were granted access to the museums, but they chose not to enter. Although Italian law does not forbid the wearing of the burka or niqab, since 1975 it has been forbidden to walk around public spaces with your face covered – for example, by a scarf or motorbike helmet ‘without a valid reason’. In a controversial move last December, Veneto’s neighbouring province of Lombardy amended these laws making it illegal to walk around in public wearing the either the niqab or burka.

فتح أو حماس: إن الله لا يغير ما يقوم
في خضم ادعاءاتنا بالإيمان المحكم، وإصرارنا على أصحية ما نعتقده أمام الاخرين . تتضارب المفاهيم والانتماءات حتى ، فيما هو ايمان وما هو تبعية . حتى يصبح الفصيل هو الحق الوحيد المنزل وما تسنه قواعده هو التشريع الصحيح.
كتبت قبل أيام عن موضوع فوز الكتلة الإسلامية بجامعة بيرزيت. وقد يرى القاريء في بعض الأحيان ولربما الكثير منها ما يبدو من مغازلة مني لحماس.ولقد مر امامي بعض التساؤلات التي كانت في محورها انتقادا ربما لما ظهر من كلامي وكأنه يرحب بانتصار حماسي ضد ذاك الفتحاوي . حتى انه فهم في بعض الاحيان انني فتحاوية سابقة(مرتدة) . او انني اجهل ما تقوم به حماس في الشق المنفصل المنقسم من الوطن.
الوطن ليس فتح ولا حماس.
هذا ما اريد التشديد عليه والوقوف امامه دائما .
انا فتح عندما تمثل فتح القضية الوطنية . وانا حماس عندما تمثل حماس قضيتي الوطنية.
وابسط ما اقف امامه كمواطنة تصبو وتأمل الى يوم افضل يراه ابنائي مستقبلا…

Brother and sister slain at checkpoint were executed, Palestinians say | The Electronic Intifada
“Witnesses said it appeared that Ibrahim attempted to grab his sister’s hand and move away from the officers, when they opened fire on her. Maram fell to the ground and when Ibrahim attempted to aid her, he was shot in his tracks,” Ma’an added. “[Maram] had reportedly obtained a permit from the Israeli authorities to enter Jerusalem for the first time when she was crossing on Wednesday,” the agency stated. Eyewitnesses told Palestinian media that Israeli forces fired a barrage of bullets at the pair – “more than 15 rounds into the woman’s body, confirming her death,” the Ma’an News Agency reported. A witness named Ahmad Taha told Ma’an that “Israeli officers approached the two after they had been shot and on the ground before opening fire on them again ‘to ensure that they were dead,’ adding that the officers ‘could have moved the two away without opening fire.’” The man alleged that the knives police said were carried by Maram and Ibrahim were planted. Medical care denied The Palestine Red Crescent Society told Ma’an that Israeli forces denied medics access to the woman and child. Video from the scene shows Israeli forces turning away a Palestine Red Crescent medic and preventing a cameraman from filming. A brother of Maram and Ibrahim told Haaretz that he doesn’t believe his sister intended to carry out an attack, saying that she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was shot dead.

Norovirus studies pinpoint global burden, build case for vaccine | CIDRAP
“Is norovirus an issue of child survival, a food safety problem, a healthcare associated infection?” he wrote. “Well, it’s all of these, which may have hampered our community of researchers and public health workers from coalescing around a central problem.” Other new findings from studies in the collections revealed: Genetic diversity in the virus, but similar global patterns, with novel GII.4 strains replacing each other every 2 to 4 years through gene swapping New insights on immunity, including the possibility of raising neutralizing antibodies without using cell-culture systems Regional epidemiologic patterns, such as those in the United States, where rates are higher in children under age 5 and in military personnel and their families Prevalence and data gaps in Africa, such as rates in Kenya that are double that of developed nations and lack of information about norovirus in Africa’s older adolescents and adults Vaccine development focusing on young children would offer the greatest global impact, though so far early trials have targeted adults in high-income settings

Swedish parents block ‘gateway’ yoga exercises – The Local
A pastor and his wife were among a group of Christian parents who pushed for the school in Rydaholm, southern Sweden, not to start teaching yoga to their children, a practice that was about to be introduced by a new teacher. Linda Olsson contacted the local school authorities and pointed out that her husband David, the town’s pastor, was obliged to keep religion out of ceremonies held to mark the end of the school year. Shouldn’t yoga be subjected to the same scrutiny, she wondered. Rydaholm is part of Sweden’s Bible belt and other Christian parents shared the Olssons’ concerns about yoga and its links to Hinduism and Buddhism. “Yoga is used by Buddhists as a form of meditation. We don’t know what it might lead to,” she told local newspaper Värnamo Nyheter.

Peace for the un-peace…a pedagogy of oppression
When tears have dried up from overuse and you can no longer even laugh darkly at the insanity – rage become even easier to trigger. Then the circle of fear and hate can overcome – pull in – the most peaceful Palestinians and Israelis -The author is amazing in that she can still write/talk with reason and compassion.
I received this comment on one of my articles:
“If the Palestinian people would simply speak and act friendly with the people in Israel and at all the check points they would find that they would be treated much more kindly by the people and the security forces. When they can’t trust you to not stab them in the back at your first opportunity it makes it difficult to treat you kindly.”
I have to say it was very important. A good reason to write what I was postponing for the last couple of days, in the hectic running of life.
I was actually like this person, thinking of this unpleasant reality of the lack of reconciliation and absence of peaceful solutions. After all, why can’t we just look forward to our lives and start seeing each other and recognize one another.
I have to admit, that hearing this from…
