Our World a Big Basar lacking Empathy and Honesty.

 "We are our own devils, we drive ourselves out of Edens."  "Who holds the devil, let him hold him well. He hardly be caught a second time." "The devil is a spirit that always denies." Wolfgang von Goethe (Faust) . "When suffering knocks at your door and you  say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he brought his own stool."  "Noone can teach me who I am."  Chinua Achebe.   "Teach your daughters ecconomic  independence so that they will look for a partner in life not a family, and teach your  sons home independence so they will look for a sweetheart and not a house maid."  Dr. Nawal Al-Saadawi.   "Who has fully realized that history is not contained in our books but lives in our blood."  Carl Jung.  " You can't outrun a tiger, you can only outrun the guy next to you. "  (quote from a political discussion on Al Jazeera).    "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger, why should I fight against them?" Mohamed Ali.                                                      We have a lot of school holidays in Tunisia, my husband, being 'old school' , asks the kids in front of our house (up to 30 playing with 3 footballs)," Why don't you read a book for a change?" Well, their main toys are footballs or stones, unfortunately. They could do with some folks motivating them to spend their spare time in a better way, that is more rewarding also for them. I feel these kids and teens sadly often don't quite know what to do with themselves and all those holidays. -  Donald Trump wanted to show to the world big, beautiful pictures of himself and his wife and asked members of the White House to upgrade them. All would have been well, but by mistake they took photos of Ex-president Obama and his good lady, thus it wasn't even an upgrading any longer with the suggested changes made with an internet tool. Of course Mr. Trump did not understand why numerous people accused him of  rasism. He was too busy re-designing the world to check the final result. By the way, the craddle of mankind stood in Africa, another one of 'master race' ancestors never existed anywhere. Originally all American citizens were immigrants ( plus by force - abused slaves) with them they brought their special experiences, abilities, ideas, values and sometimes a dark past, good and bad characters, independent of their colour of skin. People tend to trust those most who resemble them. Why should they be actually more trustworthy? Stalin once said, "I don't trust anybody, not even myself." Several US citizens declared that the uniform and also the behaviour of ICE officials remindes them of the Gestapo (Hitler's secret state police) and they call them Trump's private army. Their crash training only takes 48 days, nonetheless, they are highly paid, are granted police- like powers and appear to be trigger happy, with their own flexible truth, strongly supported by Mr. Trump. US Americans are prowd and insist on having the right to carry a gun. Now Donald Trump advised that if ICE members see this, they can shoot in "self-defence". Yet the non-violant demonstrating man and the woman they shoot and killed lately in Minnisota didn't hold any weapons. A very special logic, also Trump's demand that Arabic countries should help Israel with "self-defence". To the best of my knowledge there is presently a genocide taking place, 2,700 Palestinian families have already been erased, 40,000 families have been attacked, 17,000 children have lost both parents, 39,000 lost one parent, numbers rising. How much suffering can children take? The SS Nazi member, Otto Ohlendorf, explained in the Nürnberg Nazi trail "vorausschauende Notwehr" (self-defence in anticipation) : "In view of the knowledge that we killed their parents, they would become our enemies." (The judge asked him why did you kill the children?) By the way, soldiers from Ukraine were the first to free a German extermination camp, the hell called Auschwitz, on  27th of January 1945. Several survivors committed suicide afterwards, too many nightmares, they couldn't live with what they went through and what they witnessed. I wonder how will Palestinian children and adults manage, once the horror ends? Lord have mercy. Why must they pay for the atrocities the Nazis committed? The so-called "self-defence" an argument to kill all other arguments, giving it a new meaning, contrary to internatonal law. Self-defence for the occupier, even against kids and new born babies. Are Palestinian babies born with a hand grenade in their hands? Half of the Palestinian population is under the age of 18. Where are there the sanctions in view of Israel constantly and in a massive way breaking the cease fire agreement? The solidarity with Palestinians seems to grow in the Western world, in particular in those countries that know  what surpression means.  Slovenia banned arms sales to Israel and imports from illegal settlers on occupied Palestian land. They don't want to turn a blind eye to illegal constructions, land confiscation, forced expulsions, atrocities, burning of old, valuable, olive trees, stealing of life stock, destruction of the water supply system and last not least, with impunity murder of Palestian farmers and other persons. Slovenia prohibitated entry to their great country for Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smetrich. This gives me hope. Could other countries learn from Slovenia? They should! Meanwhile Belgium, Finnland, Ireland, Luxemburg, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden also don't want to trade with illegal settlements in the Westbank P. Goods traded between EU and Israel in 2023 are estimated at 42,6 Billions. Israel handed over 120 body bags, corpses in pieces. Often the population of a country is more advanced than their leaders, this also applies to Arabic countries. Tunisia, though, never stopped demonstrating his solidarity with Palestinians. Their only hope, strong solidarity, sanctions, ending double standards, war criminals being held accountable, international laws upheld, an end of Apartheid, the ruling of the International Criminal Court, inspite of the threats and  sanctions from the White House/the new Emperor (who several times mixed up Greenland with Island) gainst ICC judges. A slow process, unfortunately, but let us learn from South Africa. They at long last overcame Apartheid in their country. There was a lot of solidarity, it works if we are many. Let us be on the right side of history. Animals know empathy, how can we be indifferent? 

 Dehumanizing ones animies enables acting without empathy, being cruel without nightmares, unspeakable cruelty. Science can be of great benefit to the world, but it can also open the gates of hell. International prohibited thermal and thermosbasic weapons, supplied by the USA to Israel, are repeatedly used in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinian bodies are missing (not just those buried under tons of construction rubble), they disappeared without leaving a trace, burned at 3,500 C, turned to ashes within seconds as if they never existed. I recall Israel demanding that Hamas returns every singe corps of killed Jewish person, however difficult it may be to trace and uncover the body. Don't Palestinians too love their families, friends, countryman? Are they worthless? People often wondered how Nazis who appeared to love their family, children, nonetheless managed to kill Jewish children, their mothers..... The use of thermal and thermosbasic weapons is according to international law a war crime, those who supply such weapons are compliance in such crimes. High time to hold those responsible accountable. No more lipservice solidarity. All this talk of "self-defence" makes me feel sick.
