Israel has intensified its Rafah offensive despite yesterday’s ICJ ruling for it to halt, including bombing residential buildings near the Kuwaiti Hospital.

A series of Israeli air attacks have killed dozens of people throughout northern Gaza, including women and children sheltering in Beit Hanoon.

Northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital is out of service as Israeli forces continue to surround it.

Fixation How to Have Stuff Without Breaking the Planet by Sandra Goldmark, 2020

Our massive, global system of consumption is broken. Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. But we don't need to wait for them.

Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? by Bill McKibben, 2019

We’re at a bleak moment in human history -- and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away.

Falter is a powerful and sobering call to arms, to save not only our planet but also our humanity.

The Israeli military has continued its operation in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, targeting more residential buildings and public facilities, including schools and UNRWA facilities.

There has been no water or food supplied to the camp for the last 17 days. There is an actual famine going on there.

Human Longevity: The Major Determining Factors by Joseph A. Knight, 2010

Two thousand years ago, the average life expectancy from birth to death of a Roman citizen, an individual better off than most people at that time, was about 22 years (wars, infectious diseases, trauma, etc.). This progressively increased to about 47 years in the U.S. and most European countries by 1900.

“We, the citizens of Israel, must open our eyes.”

“We must listen to the clear call from around the world: the violence, destruction and killing must stop now.”

“It is time we understood that violence and disregard for human life are keystones of the Israeli apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.”

B’Tselem, one of Israel’s leading human rights organisations

" If we turn our backs and ignore the crimes against humanity that are being committed in Gaza right now, what credibility will we ever have in criticizing the actions of any country, no matter how terrible those actions may be?"

The name "ladybug" was coined by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the farmers named them "beetle of Our Lady." This eventually was shortened to "lady beetle" and "ladybug." NASA even sent a few ladybugs into space with aphids to see how aphids would escape in zero gravity.
