John Berger was 98 today, 5th Nov. How I miss his incendiary love, but all I have to do is pick up a book and there, like a sheltering roof, are his words, protecting and connecting us all…

Mighty Jasleen Kaur šŸ‡µšŸ‡øāœŠ ā€œI want the separation between… politics in the gallery and… life to disappear. I want the institution to understand.. you want us inside, you need to listen to us outside. Ceasefire now, arms embargo now, free Palestine.ā€ theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

This news on the BBC? Anyone? Verified by ATP. ā€œIsraeli forces kill two women in West Bank raid - health ministry In an earlier post, we reported that 23-year-old Sundus Shalabi, who was pregnant, was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, along with her fetus.ā€

27th March, evening 2 days ago Police entered with force a Quaker meeting house arresting 6 young people who were looking for peace. I stand with them and their voices. Please read… it’s not protestors who are disrupting order, it’s all us who look away. quaker.org.uk/news-and-event…
