Note: Today Sunday, March 17, 2024 at 11 AM Eastern Daylight Savings Time
(5 PM Palestine time, 4 PM CET, 3 PM GMT, 8 AM Pacific Daylight Savings
Time) I will be giving a talk on the status of Palestine you can watch at

ITEM 1: Ego is the enemy: reflection on the sad state of current affairs
and hope for the future of Palestine and the world (on my blog)

ITEM 2: Protesters shut down airport terminal at San Francisco for 158
minutes https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mbx6YhCczkU
ITEM 3: We remember our friend Rachel Corrie, an American student murdered
in Rafah 21 years ago (see rachelcorriefoundation.org). Like the 150,000+
Palestinians murdered by the Israeli colonial regime over 76 years, the
killers do not face justice because of a strong Zionist lobby that shapes
policies and ensures continuing genocide supported by the west
ITEM 4: Israel lied (again): We knew it, the world knew it but still they
cut of aid to the only entity (UNRWA) that can help Gaza civilians.
Israel’s aim is genocide and liquidatuoion of the Palestinian cause) and
UNRWA provided limited Food, medicine, water so it was targeted for
physical liquidation (by bmbings and by pressuring governments to stop
funding UNRWA). Canada, EU and Australia did resume aid but not the US
(Israeli occupied territory)!

ITEM 5: How Israeli universities are an arm of settler colonialism: Maya
Wind’s new book meticulously demonstrates how Israeli academic institutions
were created to serve the Zionist colonization of Palestine. They continue
to do so to this day while fueling Israel’s university-military-industrial
complex
Prof. Nadera suspended by the Hebrew University for exercising free speech
The glaring contradiction between Zionism and freedom, specifically in academia, eloquently brought forth by Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkia – a true hero.

ITEM 6: US (under Zionist lobby) push to ban TikTok is due to young people
spreading truth about Gaza
Gaza Solidarity Played Major Role in Renewed US Push to Ban TikTok – WSJ
Washington’s Renewed Urgency for TikTok Ban Is Due to War on Gaza
