“Ahead of an anti-war demonstration scheduled for Thursday in Tel Aviv – organized by the Jewish-Arab movement Standing Together – the Israeli police said they would not allow the protest to take place unless organizers agreed to a ban on signs displaying images of ‘kids or babies from Gaza’ or bearing references to ‘genocide and ethnic cleansing.’

“The document outlining these conditions was riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, perfectly reflecting the heavy-handed police, who are acting without any clear guidelines or legal basis.

“Even in death, Palestinian children killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza are treated as a threat in Israel…”

Pope Francis' Special Connection and [daily] Calls to a Gaza Parish | TIME (2025-04-21)

>> As Pope Francis is remembered for his outreach ... his relationship with the Holy Family parish in Gaza stands out. The Pope made daily calls to the tiny parish ..., starting the practice shortly after the onset of the Israel-Hamas War on Oct. 7, 2023.

>> In a May 2024 interview with 60 Minutes, Pope Francis talked about how his calls to the parish in Gaza, occurring every evening at 7 p.m., were part of his daily routine. “They tell me about what happens there. It is very tough, ... I listen… and they tell me things. There is a lot of suffering.”

>> ... While he then missed some days when he was first announced as critically ill, as soon as he resumed certain work duties from his hospital bed, he returned to the check-in calls.

Letter from Gaza by Clayton Dalton | Hospitals in Ruins (The New Yorker, 2025-04-18)

Behold, from _The New Yorker_.

“On January 29th, two weeks after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire, I crossed into Gaza as part of a twelve-person medical mission.”

“… when I arrived, Israeli forces had withdrawn from parts of Gaza, air strikes had largely stopped, and displaced families were returning to places they had fled. This meant that our view was not limited to the inside of one building. I would get an unusually complete picture of the state of Gaza’s medical infrastructure.”
