Why was I born in the Rubble?

Why was I born in the rubble?
Did I do something wrong, get into trouble?
Will I end my life under the rubble's weight,
Living in this hazy, suffocating state?

Please, don't silence my voice, condemn my plea,
For talking of rubble, seaking empathy

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: A Force for Peace and Justice in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: A Force for Peace and Justice in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Nurit Peled-Elhanan is a name synonymous with courage, resilience, and a unwavering commitment to peace and justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An Israeli philologist, professor, translator, and activist, Peled-Elhanan's life and work have been shaped by a profound personal tragedy and a deep empathy for the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians. Born in Jerusalem in 1949, Peled-Elhanan's life took a dramatic turn in 1997 when her 13-year-old daughter, Smadar, was killed in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem.

The Phycology of the anti hero.

In fiction, the anti-hero is a character who lacks the traditional heroic qualities of idealism, courage, and morality. They are often cynical, flawed, and morally ambiguous. However, despite their flaws, anti-heroes can be incredibly compelling and relatable characters. There are many reasons why we are drawn to anti-heroes. For one, they are often more realistic than traditional heroes. They make mistakes, they have doubts, and they sometimes act selfishly. This makes them more relatable to us, as we all experience these same things in our own lives. Anti-heroes can also be more interesting than traditional heroes. They are not bound by the same rules and expectations, which allows them to be more creative and unpredictable. This can make for a more exciting and engaging story. Of course, not all anti-heroes are created equal. Some are simply villains in disguise. However, the best anti-heroes are complex characters who are both good and bad. They are flawed and relatable...

Ten minutes walk from GENOCIDE.

Hi, I'm Kevin Moody from Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland. I live ten minutes' walk away from genocide, and I don't say that lightly. Raytheon is one of the top two weapons companies in the world, and they have a factory in my town. As a citizen, I do not consent to having a factory that provides weapons of mass destruction built here or anywhere. I have been to protests twice since the 2014 massacre in Gaza, the prison city in occupied Palestine. People come and protest, but I live here knowing that once they leave, I am still here with genocide next door. So I wanted to do something that wouldn't get me jailed, but would highlight the genocide next door at Raytheon Technologies. One Saturday morning, I got some ketchup and went down to Raytheon and sprayed it all over the company sign. In my head, it resembles the blood that companies like Raytheon and the rest of the military industrial complex produce. This art project is called ketchup against the military in...
