Wishing Christians and Muslims meaningful periods of fasting—Lent and Ramadan—which both begin today in the USA. Whatever our faith let us use this season to lift up compassion and generosity and work to bring peace to all—especially those suffering from violence or oppression.

Imagine the horror of seeing your city destroyed, fleeing for safety+then being unable to register your child’s birth—blocking your return.
Yes, Israel controls Palestinian population registry—deciding legal status, family reunification+Gaza entry/exit.
Whatever word you have for that, it's ugly.

Trump wants to treat ultra-wealthy foreigners better than Americans!
Under the proposed Trump “Platinum Card,” wealthy foreign nationals could live most of year in the U.S. while paying NO U.S. tax on foreign income.
American citizens? Still taxed on worldwide income—forever.

Palestinian Leadership takes bold step towards badly needed elections.
Requires candidates to commit to vision of two-state Israel/Palestine coexistence.
If only Israeli law required the same! But that would mean majority of current Israeli parliament couldn't run for office!

1- Trump’s “Board of Peace” to be rolled out this week in Davos is not “peace architecture.” It’s “control architecture” that centralizes power, dilutes legitimacy, and makes a long-term sustainable peace harder. Isn’t just about Gaza, it’s about team Trump’s approach to world.🧵

1. As Trump heads to the region, Israel faces a massive bipartisan crisis in its relationship with the U.S. There is a way out, but it requires ending the war, getting the hostages out, pursuing normalization and a Palestinian state. Short of that, the relationship may never be the same.
