Absolutely. Just do the following first...

  • Officially apologize to every Palestinian family for every life lost in decades of conflict.
  • Fully dismantle all settlements built on occupied land and return every home, school, and farm.
  • Compensate for every square meter of land taken, including lost income and cultural sites.
  • Ensure full and unrestricted access to Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, with reparations for every blockade-induced hardship.
  • Return all property confiscated during evictions or military operations.
  • Admit and make amends for every instance of detention, displacement, or imprisonment without due process.
  • Rebuild all destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.
  • Recognize all refugee claims and fund safe, dignified resettlement or return.
  • Fully acknowledge and compensate for the psychological trauma suffered by generations.
  • Publicly commit to ending all military occupation and systemic discrimination permanently.
  • Implement complete equality in law, services, and political representation for all Palestinians.
  • Renounce any historic narratives that justify oppression and commit to truthful education about past wrongs.
  • Fund and actively support the creation of a fully sovereign, functional, and internationally recognized Palestinian state.
  • Lead and finance the complete rebuilding of Gaza, including infrastructure, housing, healthcare, and education, to meet modern standards.

This is one of the few reasons I wish there were gods. Humans are monsters and we need intervention. So easily and callously is human life destroyed.

How I wish the Sudanese, and so many other people in similar plights, mattered to the rest of the world.

Now let's make another film. This one will be both a true crime and a heist film. Inevitable millions.

Always glad to see Israelis stand up to Trump and Netanyahu.

 

Some people have the audacity to say that Trump's policies don't lead to misery and death.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”

But the data says and projects otherwise.

A study published in The Lancet journal in June said the U.S. funding cuts could result in more than 14 million deaths, including more than 4.5 million children under age 5, by 2030.

The United States could have been a beacon of hope and a model to look up to. For many years, that was the case for people and immigrants all around the world.

In a matter of months, that has all crumbled to its foundation. It's so hard to watch.
