Jenin, Jerusalem … now Israelis grieve as the cycle of violence intensifies | Israel | The Guardian

This is the worst Palestinian terror attack against Israelis in 15 years and has left the country reeling. It came a day after nine Palestinians were killed in a major Israeli raid on the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp, the highest death toll in a single army operation in more than two decades. In the aftermath, the Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs parts of the West Bank, announced that it would suspend security cooperation with Israel.Source: Jenin, Jerusalem … now Israelis grieve as the cycle of violence intensifies | Israel | The Guardian

The events in Jenin appear to have set off a chain reaction of violence, leaving Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories on the brink of what could be a devastating new round of bloodletting.

Two more Palestinians were shot and killed by soldiers in clashes sparked by the raid last Thursday, and early on Friday there was a limited exchange of rocket fire between the Islamist-controlled Gaza Strip and Israel.

Yanomami Genocide: Linezine

Lula’s visit to the Yanomami land brought up a theme that was submerged in our country. In four years of Bolsonaro’s government it was possible to identify the advance of the extreme right and its policies. The cruelest of them has now been revealed, the malnourished indigenous population, children suffering from hunger, elderly people on the verge of death, something only seen in concentration camps in Nazi Germany.

♫ Honky Tonk Women ♫

Filosofa's Word

A few days ago when I played Get Off Of My Cloud by the Rolling Stones, this one was mentioned by a couple of you in comments, and I was rather surprised to find that I hadn’t played it here before, but according to my archives, I haven’t (sometimes those archives lie to me, though).  Funny … I always thought this was “Honky Tonk Woman”, but it’s not … it’s “Women” plural!  Learn something new every day!

This was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.  According to Keith Richards, the song had its origins …

“… in Brazil. Mick and I, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg who was pregnant with my son at the time. Which didn’t stop us going off to the Mato Grasso and living on this ranch. It’s all cowboys. It’s all horses and spurs. And Mick and I were sitting on the porch of…

The cost of anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic | Nature Human Behaviour

Anti-Chinese sentiment increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting as a considerable spike in overt violence and hatred directed at Asian American individuals. However, it is less clear how subtle patterns of consumer discrimination, which are difficult to directly observe yet greatly impact Asian American livelihoods, changed through the pandemic. Here we examine this in the context of restaurants—ubiquitous small businesses that sell goods that are closely entwined with ethnicity. Using a series of surveys, online search trends and consumer traffic data, we find that Asian restaurants experienced an 18.4% decrease in traffic (estimated US$7.42 billion lost revenue in 2020) relative to comparable non-Asian restaurants, with greater decreases in areas with higher levels of support for Donald Trump. Our findings are consistent with the roles of collective blame, out-group homogeneity and ethnic misidentification in explaining how anti-China rhetoric can harm the Asian American community, underlining the importance of avoiding racism and stigmatization in political and public health communications. Leveraging multiple datasets (surveys, web search trends and mobility), Huang e

557. NOW

______________

the days are clouds of smoke hovering above the drifting clouds

a mug of coffee yearning for tropical sunlight

the nights are the wandering mists around my brewing exile

the night light tired waiting for the fortnight of moonlight

the day dreary

the nights lonely

an uncertain homeland, gone

now

I’m like a mole cricket

prodding and digging up the blameless earth

looking for relics of a tattered sail

lost somewhere on an abandoned island

in hints of the quintessential spring

with the breeding history of a thousand year

.

the afternoon horizon void of a storm

the brilliant sunlight, the fresh breeze, a time of one’s life

in a rush to step outside

the summer stroll

I’ve completely forgotten about them

my grave barely paid off

the late insurance…
