Tell Me The Truth

Tell me the truth

Do you remember what that is?

that's what the world used to strive for.

The truth everyone knows what the truth is no matter how long they've lived without it.

Nobody forgets the truth People only get better at lying.

Satan more or less

We are not talking about feelings, truths that are reinforced by the confirmation of one bubble of perception.

We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.

Gonzo: "Hey, Kermit, are you busy?"

Kermit: "Yes, Gonzo, but I can give you my ear for a minute."

Gonzo: "What would I do with your ear?"

Kermit: "Van Gogh impressions."

Kermit the Frog - Season 1 Episode 9

Vincent van Gogh : Paul Gauguin in Arles

I assume that Vincent van Gogh lost his ear in a duel with Paul Gauguin. The two lived and worked together in a house in Arles and often clashed.

However, the story with the madness is better for selling the paintings.

International aid workers from World Central Kitchen killed in Israeli airstrike

A World Central Kitchen team has been hit by Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip. Five people died, including helpers from Poland, Australia and the UK.

Israel had a right to self-defence, the key word being " had past tense".

What else must happen to the eternal back and forth chasing of the Palestinian civilian population for supposedly necessary measures or, to put it clearly, military attacks with more and more civilian deaths!

israel is doing itself a disservice with this strategy, it is creating even more terrorists and driving extremism in the arab countries even further.

Pressure creates against pressure physically law. It's only stupid if you have caused the waves that are coming your way.

The massacre on 7 October was cruel and despicable and represents the sick ideology of hamas and its contract killers. The murder, rape and kidnapping of innocent people is not a fight for freedom but a war crime.

Never forget who is responsible for the consequences - the murderers and those behind the hamas massacre.

However, retaliation on this scale is no longer justifiable and must be stopped immediately.

Stop the Gaza war immediately, it is against international law.

The UN Security Council has been given a stark warning about the consequences of inaction in Gaza: in its latest report to the UN Security Council, the United Nations (UN) warns that at least 576,000 people in Gaza are at risk of famine as a result of the conflict.

The UN Security Council met under the auspices of Resolution 2417: representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) presented the findings of their report. The report highlights how warfare, including the impact of the Israeli military blockade before 7 October 2023, is preventing people in Gaza from accessing food. This includes Israel's far-reaching restrictions on access and delivery of humanitarian and commercial goods, as well as targeted attacks on aid convoys. Humanitarian aid and access to the population across Gaza is also restricted due to the denial of security guarantees and the ongoing blockade of water and electricity and bombardments. The UN also emphasised the impact of the attacks on the food production infrastructure: due to the destruction of agricultural land and numerous forced displacements, fields have been abandoned and food production is limited.

While the entire population in Gaza does not have sufficient access to food, the situation in northern Gaza is particularly catastrophic. According to the WFP, one in six children under the age of two now suffers from wasting. 155,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers do not have access to sufficient, nutritious food. Malnutrition has a devastating and intergenerational impact on vulnerable populations, including long-term effects on children's cognitive and physical development and well-being, as well as compromising their future quality of life.

Resolution 2417, adopted unanimously in 2018, is intended to prompt the UN Security Council to act when there is a risk of conflict-related famine for the civilian population. It strengthens existing international law, according to which starving the civilian population is a war crime. However, despite constant warnings of the risks and contrary to the UN Security Council's own resolutions, it remains inactive - as a result of the use of the veto power of the permanent members. At the beginning of the month, the United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire for the third time.

The signatory non-governmental organisations are calling on the UN Security Council to urgently adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This is the only way to curb the famine in Gaza and protect the civilian population, including by preventing a military operation in Rafah, which would have catastrophic consequences for the civilian population and bring relief efforts to a complete standstill.

At the same time, humanitarian aid for Palestinians must now be massively increased, which will be essential even if the fighting stops. This includes continuing to support the vital work of UNRWA and partner organisations to help the Palestinian civilian population survive one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our time. The role of UNRWA cannot be replaced. The approval and renewal of visas for humanitarian workers must also be accelerated.

The UN Security Council must ensure the implementation of the resolutions on Gaza, which call for unrestricted, rapid, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid organisations to all of Gaza. In addition, the UN Security Council has a crucial role to play in ensuring compliance with the judgement of the International Court of Justice and upholding the consistent application of international law.

Realisation is a rare part of life - if it comes too late, it feels like you've missed the train.

The good thing is you can sometimes take the next one if there's another one coming.

Otherwise, always sit down and think first when the crap falls down on you.
