"The horrific images from a virtual tour of Gaza's Nasser Hospital – before Israel shelled it this week – make it clearer than ever: The power is in our hands. We must stop the atrocities committed in our name," writes Israeli pediatrician Michal Feldon @haaretzcom.bsky.social

The Hebrew words on this sticker translate to "Financed Hamas."
For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip — money that helped prop up the Hamas government there.
Netanyahu not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them.

I spent a night in "Paris" recently when my Air France flight was cancelled. This is the lovely view from the window of my hotel not far from Charles de Gaulle airport. Where are the wide boulevards and cyclists toting crusty baguettes?
At least there was a nice tree.

August is Women in Translation Month, or #WITMonth, an annual celebration of women writers from around the world.
Here's the stack of books by women in translation that I read over the past 11 months since last August.

This Orphean Warbler is one of many small songbirds that stop and feed in the spring at the Jerusalem Bird Observatory.
For @momentmagazine.bsky.social I wrote about the impacts of Middle East wars on migrating songbirds, pelicans, cranes and barn owls.
War is terrible for birds as well as humans.

Three days ago at Woodstock Bio in the woods of Soběšín, Czech Republic. Science in the sun. So much fun, so sorely missed.
