Hi Doc Sarvis:

Shakespeare, although not college-educated like his predecessor the great Christopher Marlowe, was well versed in the Greek Classics and the Old and New Testaments.

The Immortal Bard may have had this particular Scripture in mind when he wrote the blood-curdling revenge counter-revenge play Titus Andronicus.

Organ harvesting stories keep trickling out of Gaza.

Thanks for the amplification, AU.

Footnote: The two greatest imaginative artistic forces in history, William Shakespeare and Ludwig van Beethoven, did not attend college, led unhappy romantic lives, and died tragically early (52 and 56) without male heirs, something they both desperately wanted.

My wife and I have a portrait or bust of both of them in every room of our condo.

Hi AU

Are you enjoying the book about the Kurds?

My wife and I have an extensive library and I'm eager to lend out my books.

But these two books never leave my home:

Thanks, AU.

I'm way behind on my booklist, so no promises.

For light, quick, and humorous reading, may I recommend Damon Runyan?

*** Iceland and the Netherlands Join Genocide Case Against Israel ***

Neither the UN nor any international organization or body of academics have accused Palestinians of committing genocide.

After Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse defeated General Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn, no one accused the indigenous people of committing genocide.

In fact, no indigenous group getting erased has ever been accused of genocide.

They are the victims.

This innocent Palestinian family was genocided by the IDF.

When one superior side is erasing a smaller inferior side, this is not a conflict and the victims should bot be blamed, like this innocent family from the West Bank should not be blamed.

Total number of Israelis killed by Palestinians since 7 Oct 2023: 2,039.

Total number of Palestinians killed by the IDF in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 Oct 2023: 75,227.

This is a factor of 37:1.

The peace-loving hardworking American taxpayer is funding this genocide and sending Israel US-manufactured weapons instead of helping the underdogs-- the Palestinians.

Where does this murdered Palestinian family who were called "dogs" by the IDF soldiers fit in the question: "Stuff like this is why neither side is in the right in that conflict."

Besides being guilty of being Palestinian, what did the Bani Odeh family do to be in the wrong?
