Artist Still Trying To Find Away….

“[We] condemn decisions that introduce sweeping extensions to unlawful Israeli control over West Bank. Changes are wide-ranging, reclassifying Palestinian land as Israeli 'state land', accelerating illegal settlement activity, further entrenching Israeli admin.” Board of Peace ain’t going well.

We, the Foreign Ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the French Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Iceland, the Republic of Indonesia, Ireland, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Norway, the State of Palestine, the Portuguese Republic, the State of Qatar, the Republic of Slovenia, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Republic of Türkiye, and the Secretary Generals of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, condemn in the strongest terms a series of recent Israeli decisions that introduce sweeping extensions to unlawful Israeli control over the West Bank.

These decisions follow the unprecedented acceleration of Israel's settlement policy, with the approval of the Er project and the publication of its tender. Such actions are a deliberate and direct attack on the viab…Bild

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.
