Proverbs 31: 8-9 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

The pieces in this series speak up. They harp on the injustice hoisted upon the needy by those craving power and wealth.

77 years since the first military conflict between Israel-Palestine in 1948, after the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan the year prior, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. For Palestinians, this was the beginning of the nakba or “catastrophe” leading to land dispossession and forced displacement. 

7 October, 2023 when Hamas’ military wing – the Qassam Brigades - committed war crimes, killing 1,195 people, nearly 70% who were civilians. 251 Israeli security force personnel and civilians were taken hostage back to Gaza.

70, the percentage of women and children of the nearly 70,000 Palestinians presumed dead due to Israeli war crimes through bombings, raids, and starvation tactics in the West Bank and Gaza since 7 October until today.

Some of the rhetoric that has fueled mass death in the “Middle East” is spread by Western Christian institutions who would like nothing better than a modern day Reconquista Crusade to take control over a vast swath of the world.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged the State to forever wars in the region. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Yemen are already in play. What remains an obstacle are Iran and Turkey. Possible disclosure of the Epstein files by Mossad guarantees that US President Donald Trump will play his role.
