“This is my homeland;
no one can kick me out”

Former Palestinian leader
Born on: 24th August 1929

Porte Ponderings:

From the St Bartholomew Massacre of Protestants in 1572 Paris (more than 30,000 murdered) to today’s Genocide in Gaza, Religious battles continue. People killing people because of a difference in heritage and religion needs to stop.

Children always pay the price of wars started and continued by men in safe havens.

According to Wikipedia: As of 30 July 2025, over 63,000 people (61,805 Palestinians[4] and 1,983 Israelis[c]) have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as 217 journalists and media workers,[46][d] 120 academics,[49] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[50] Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed are civilians.[6][5][7][51] A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.[52][53]

Now they are starving to death as the genocide continues and the world stands by and watches……….

Today’s quote from the 1800’s seems just as true today as it did then.

Weird how the spelling is incorrect and the quote is split.
