"The very same countries that stand together to condemn Russian occupation and atrocities in Ukraine not only give political support for Israel’s occupation and indiscriminate warfare, but also provide the essential hardware. This hypocrisy has not gone undetected by the rest of the world."

We must not make a scarecrow of the law,
Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
And let it keep one shape, till custom make it
Their perch and not their terror.

And carry it sweetly and deliverly,
And now and then a favor and a frisk.

I remember loving people I have strongly desired for one reason or another, as if the memory is still happening. I remember this in greater detail and with more pleasure than I remember being loved. I can hardly express what being loved feels like, but this other thing I can replay any time.
