Sunday morning: A glorious day of heroism, sacrifice, and resilience  (https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250119-sunday-morning-a-glorious-day-of-heroism-sacrifice-and-resilience/?fbclid=IwY2xjawH7oWBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYvZLKxHDmSpAvHQGxoRQd2iKjFwq4-5pF_29f24N4XYHKYSUjE6uo46wg_aem_144zJeVjpskrrLpSQnx_0w )

“Sunday morning will be recorded in history as a testament to heroism, sacrifice, and resilience against the most ferocious war machine of the modern age. Supported by a pack of predators rallying their might to annihilate 2.5 million people under the guise of a so-called “victory.” But they failed. The spilled blood defeated their swords, exposing their barbarity. Gaza’s people have become a symbol of sacrifice, devotion, and steadfastness to their ancestral land.”

“In my life, I have been enmeshed in two genocides. The first was when I survived the Holocaust in World War II. The second is the Gaza genocide, which is being carried out in my name and which is exploiting my story to justify the slaughter.”

“As Joseph Biden’s presidency comes to an end, his National Security Advisor, Secretary of State, and now Biden himself have been making an effort to put a pretty face on their disastrous performance in the Middle East. While his aides have taken to blaming others for failures in a vain effort to absolve themselves, the President, true to form, attempted to paint a portrait of successes. It was, in a word, exaggerated. Some might even say, delusional.”

NEWS, ANALYSIS & OPINION

Let us be joyous about the release of all hostages, Israeli and Palestinian, in Gaza peace deal, including 21 Palestinian children  (https://www.juancole.com/2025/01/palestinian-including-children.html )

“The Palestinian hostages released by Israel need to be celebrated with just as much joy and fervor. 90 of them — 69 women and 21 children — had to wait an extra 8 hours for their freedom, while Israeli troops forbade displays of joy by their friends and relatives outside Ofer Prison, and even attacked them with flash bombs, and rubber-coated metal bullets.”
