Two 19-year-old Mexican counselors, Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, are the reason nearly 20 young girls at Camp Mystic survived the deadly Texas floods.
As water surged before dawn, they led the girls—some as young as 7—to safety through windows and into raging floodwaters.

Only thing stopping us from achieving the same is an elitist ideology that favours a two-tier education system, a regressive and outdated understanding of pedagogy and a deeply entrenched disrespect for the, mostly female, teaching profession

The Iran crisis has shown yet again how Israel dominates U.S. politics. It also made clear that Zionism is an ideology based on nothing but brutal violence. The urgent task before American Jews is to dissociate themselves from this rogue state.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p><meta charset="UTF-8">At least 410 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while trying to collect aid from the controversial new US-Israeli aid hubs in Gaza, which is "a likely war crime," the United Nations human rights office, Ohchr, said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Israel’s militarised humanitarian assistance mechanism is in contradiction with international standards on aid distribution,” spokesperson Thameen al-Keetan said in a statement.</p>
<p>“The weaponization of food for civilians, in addition to restricting or preventing their access to life-sustaining services, constitutes a war crime and, under certain circumstances, may constitute elements of other crimes under international law.”</p>

My friend Ahmed could use your help. He is in Gaza facing war and siege. Aid is being stolen and sold in the markets at exorbitant prices. “I really do not want to lose anyone from my family. I hope you appreciate my position.”

Israel has broken the ceasefire in Lebanon, refusing to fully withdraw 5 months after the date to do so passed, and has killed at least 218 people since the ceasefire took effect.
In Gaza Israel broke the ceasefire and has since killed some 5300 people.
