17 Israelis Arrested Over Attack on Palestinian Village

Seventeen Israelis have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a racist attack on a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank last month, police said Wednesday.

Police said Jewish Israelis armed with stones, clubs and “other objects” wounded one Palestinian and vandalized shops, vehicles and property in the northern West Bank village of Hawara on January 24.

The suspects — who live in the West Bank, Jerusalem and northern Israel — are under investigation for perpetrating “an attack, participation in a prohibited gathering and destroying property with a racist motive”, police said.

Abraham Galloway

In Saner Thought

I so enjoy history and Black History month is the perfect time to introduce my readers to historic figures that are left out of the history books.

This post is about one of those people….Abraham Galloway.

He has been compared to James Bond and Malcolm X, though his name has largely been left out of the history books.

Abraham Galloway was an African American who escaped enslavement in North Carolina, became a Union spy during the Civil War and recruited Black soldiers to fight with the North. That’s the short version. The fuller picture would include his work as a revolutionary and being one of the first African Americans elected to the North Carolina Senate.

Galloway was born 185 years ago, on Feb. 8, 1837, in a small fishing village on the Cape Fear River. He and his mother were enslaved; Abraham worked as a brick mason. At age…

The Omicron Wave Is Receding But the Pandemic Is Not Over | Time

There is also what the New York Times calls a “pandemic of the forgotten.” Around 7 million Americans have weakened immune systems from transplants, cancer treatment, rheumatoid arthritis medications, or other medical conditions, and they could get very ill if they get COVID-19. Yet this push toward returning to normal seems to matter-of-factly ignore them. And, there is the growing number of people who are suffering from long-term morbidity after surviving infection—the condition now known as Long Covid—which we are only just beginning to understand.

One recurring problem when it comes to pandemics is that we suffer from short term memory. We cross our fingers and hope that this wave is the last. Many of us were surprised when Vice President Kamala Harris said that the Biden Administration “didn’t see Delta coming….didn’t see Omicron coming.” That’s absurd. Viral mutations were entirely expected. There is a serious risk of further variants arising, especially with inequitable and low vaccination coverage in much of the world due to supply hoarding. Distributing a few rapid tests and masks and hoping that this wave disappears and will be the end of the U.S. pandemic is not a sound approach.

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Internacional conhecido como ” Tom Jobim “, esse carioca é um dos criadores da Bossa Nova, foi é é um músico fenomenal. ” Garota de Ipanema, um clássico ( Tom e Vinicius de Moraes) é uma das canções que virou símbolo do país. Mas, ele se destaca em muitos outros trabalhos. Tom tem canções belíssimas, um convite ao bom gosto. Dentre muitas, eu escolhi uma que é um hino e que tem uma frase belíssima:

” Vou te contar, os que os olhos já não podem ver

Coisa que só o coração pode entender

Fundamental é mesmo o amor

É impossível ser feliz sozinho.”

Antonio Carlos Jobim. Wave.

Esse é o meu jeito de gostar da vida, do meu país e da minha pátria. Nós precisamos de mais ” Tons, Vinicius, João Gilberto…” nomes que elevam o nome da música popular brasileira.

Borrell: EU unity towards Ukraine crisis

EUROPE DIPLOMATIC

Strasbourg 16.02.2022 “What happens in Ukraine will mark the future of humanity. All human beings should be concerned about what happens there, because if the law of the strongest is imposed again and one country can threaten another and can attack it and disaggregate it territorially, we will go back in history” said the EU top diplomat Josep Borrell during the European Parliament plenary debate in Strasbourg.

“The great success of the European Union is, precisely, having renounced war as a way of resolving conflicts. And that’s why we have to stand with Ukraine, trying to prevent a war on…
