When there were still hospitals functioning in the Gaza Strip, before they were intentionally destroyed in an ongoing, genocidal bombing campaign, the surviving doctors wrote on the bodies of the surviving children, over and over again, the acronym, WCNSF -- Wounded Child, No Surviving Family.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been big news lately. I have no interest in either joining the pile-on or proclaiming Buffy's innocence, but I do have some thoughts to share.

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians goes on unabated, but at least in Scandinavia it's "all out in the streets for Palestine."

New song: ”From the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea”

In the mirror world, this slogan is controversial, and is a veiled threat of genocide against the Jewish people. In the real world, the ethnonationalist Jewish-supremacist state of Israel has been committing a genocide against the Palestinian people for the past 75 years, and this slogan is a slogan of liberation for all the people who live between the river and the sea. As with similar slogans in the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, for dominant political tendencies in Palestinian civil society it's about equality between all peoples, not genocide. Genocide, rather, is what Israel is doing. As the Israeli authorities openly and publicly say, this is "Nakba 2.0." We should believe them, they're serious.

Today (October 30th, 2023) an extremely moving press conference was held in front of Senator Merkley's office in downtown Portland, Oregon, to insist that Merkley represent his constituency and call for an immediate ceasefire. Speakers included two Palestinians from Gaza whose families are under bombardment, many of them killed, injured, or out of water and suffering terribly (Nael Saker and Mohammed Nabil), and a former resident of Israel who has Israeli family members currently held hostage in Gaza (Joel Beinin).
I don't believe there were any members of the press present at the press conference, although all of the local outlets were contacted by the organizers. I was providing the sound, so I hastily decided at also record the press conference with my phone, since no one was recording the event with anything fancier than that.

I'll soon be singing at antiwar rallies in various European countries, but it's unlikely you'll see me on stage singing at any of the upcoming protests in Portland, Oregon. It's not because I don't want to, and the reasons why are worth a mention.
