Hope
"We still hope, remembering the voice of the dove in our land.
Announcing once again that even in bitter moments, we were never alone.
We still hope that we will rise up and out to the fields.
To see if the plants are flowering, if the joy has returned.
If the corn is ripe.
And there You will show us Your love.
And we will show You ours."

--Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, Prayers from the Missions

“The only war that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is winning is inside [U.S. President Donald] Trump’s head. Putin only wins the war on the ground by setting American policy, through Trump.”

Foreign Policy · Russia Is Only Winning Inside Trump’s HeadBy Alexey Kovalev
The statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Churchill-laan was created by sculptor Karel Gomes and placed in 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣.

Its location is symbolic, as Churchill and Gandhi were political opponents. Churchill once called Gandhi a ‘half-naked fakir’ but later sent his condolences after Gandhi crossed over to the other side. 👼

The statue shows a humble Gandhi,walking in a dhoti and sandals, holding a staff and a book. A colorful stone pattern leading to the statue symbolizes the unity of opposites he sought during his life. ☮️✝️✡️☪️🕉️☸️💟🤟

A Gaza, l'IDF utilizza regolarmente palestinesi innocenti come scudi umani.🧵1/10

Sono “almeno 36 in una brigata.
Abbiamo un sotto-esercito di schiavi […]
Abbiamo tutte le ragioni per preoccuparci dei tribunali internazionali dell'Aia, perché questa procedura è un crimine - un crimine che anche l'esercito ora ammette.”

I think that we the people of #Europe must acknowledge that the #world has changed. No longer are tranquility, #peace, #diplomacy ruling, but #war, #imperialism, evil. We #Europeans must remain united. No matter what.
We face an era of imperialism: the #USA, willing to conquer #Greenland, #China spreading their might. We shall remember that China is mass-killing people, spreading #propaganda and mass #surveillance across society.
The age of imperialism and tension is back, but the #EU is united.
