   How many released? How many arrested?

   To date, Aljazzera reports, "there have been three prisoner-captive exchanges since the four-day truce started on Friday." Hamas released 58; Israel released 117.

   "Meanwhile, Palestinian officials say more than 3,200 Palestinians have been arrested in the occupied West Bank alone since October 7"

   Israel releases a certain number and then arrests ten times as many. More "proportionality"

     I agree, Mary.

     Fascistic psychopathic oligarchs have organised over the last 50 years to the point where they run the airwaves & our governments....

     No, Mary, don't read it - it will only make you feel worse.

     (I include sources just for purposes of veracity)

     Pleasant dreams 🙂

     Thank you. I'll have to read it in the morning. I've got to get to bed. Have a good night. Thank you again

     I totally agree, Mary. I can only imagine this nightmare as a repeat of what the anti-fascist resistance experienced in the 1920s and 30s.

     Worse, our 2020s fascists want to kill as many of us as possible - at least partly to give them a better chance - & easier time - of surviving climate catastrophe. Imo.

     "Even if billions perish in the coming climate catastrophe... we shouldn’t be too concerned"

     Thank you. Yes, I remember this.

     I'm just so unbelievably blown away by the support for genocide. There's no other way to describe it. And what is happening in the West Bank is apartheid. I just can't.

     It's not like I don't understand what the US government has done. It's just...I just can't. It sickens me

     Yes, they've always supported the Zionist project. Chomsky's good on this:

     And the US and UK are supporting this.

     I'm so disgusted
