Mural Tribute to Palestinian Journalists Sparks Debate in London | street art united states

The mural, while seen as a tribute by some, underscores a larger debate about how art reflects and influences public discourse on sensitive geopolitical issues. The portrayal of Palestinian journalists as “heroes” has triggered opposing responses. Supporters see the mural as a celebration of truth-tellers, bringing much-needed attention to the perils faced by Gaza’s reporters. On the other hand, critics worry that the glorification of certain narratives could fuel existing ethnic and political tensions in London, a city with a highly diverse population.

Estonians prepare to defend themselves against Russia – DW – 10/12/2024

Abja-Paluoja is a quiet town with 1,000 inhabitants in the south of Estonia. But that tranquility was recently disrupted by an evacuation exercise involving more than 200 women, children and elderly people.

That preparation was part of a fictional scenario in which Estonia would evacuate its civilian population from the southern regions due to intelligence reports of a possible attack by a foreign country with local authorities having 10 days to prepare.

The Estonian Rescue Board, the country’s leading agency for civil protection, and the Estonian Defense League (EDL), a voluntary national defense organization, were preparing for what was the largest drill of this kind so far.

It’s not hard to guess why Estonia has increased the number of drills.

“It is not a secret, where we are living. We are not alone in the Baltic region,” says Lieutenant-Colonel Raul Kütt, commander of the southern division of Estonia’s Defense League. “The same applies to Latvia and Lithuania. And we don’t know what the outcome of the Ukrainian conflict will be. Can it spread? In order to be ready for the worst-case scenario, we still have time to exercise these kind of activities.”

Many in Estonia are afraid of their eastern neighbor Russia. A recent survey commissioned by the Estonian Defense Ministry shows that nearly 40% of the population consider a large-scale military attack on Estonia likely — 10% more than last year.

However, the same survey suggests that 60% of citizens are prepared to defend their country. With only about 6,500 professional military personal out of a population of 1.3 million, Estonia relies heavily on its reservists and volunteers, like the ones from the Estonian Defense League.

Triumph of Goodness  – Kaushal Kishore

 

Goodness stands firm, unshaken by time,

A truth everlasting, sublime and divine…

Across all ages, thru struggle and strife,

Good will conquer, the essence of life…

.

Though battles may stir within our soul,

Dussehra invites us to seek a new goal…

All the vices to vanquish, one by one,

Purify the heart until the task is done…

.

Ma Durga, grant us strength and grace,

To foster goodness in every space—

In home, in nation, in the world we see,

Let light overcome, and darkness flee…

.

As Ravana fell, may other evils retreat,

May justice and truth see no defeat…

My warm wishes on this day so bright,

For your triumph, always, in every fight…

.

Happy Dussehra 🙏💖🙏

.

Songs I Like (76) | beetleypete

John Martyn was a British singer/songwriter who died in 2009 at the age of 60. He was well-known in the Folk genre, and his voice appealed to me even though I was not someone who often listened to Folk Music. I have featured some of his songs on this blog previously

By 1973, he was also incorporating Blues and Jazz themes into his work, along with electric guitars. His album ‘Solid Air’ released that year saw him cross over into the mainstream to some degree, and soon became one that I found myself playing constantly. The song I have chosen to feature today is a track from that album, and something I always enjoy listening to 51 years after I first heard it on my record player.

I was 21 years old, and have great memories of that year.
