The standard Ying and Yang (good and bad) of life goes on

“Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame”
WH Auden 1939

Haaretz revealed that President-elect Donald Trump
donated $10,000 to institutions located in the colony of Beit El… the
donation was made in honor of Trump’s lawyer and friend David Friedman, whom he
has since chosen as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel.
  Haaretz also noted that the Kushner family
foundation (Kushner is the Jewish Zionist son in law of Trump) had donated
$20,000 to the same colony. Such colonies are illegal and considered war crimes
by international law. Can the Palestinian authority start criminal proceedngs
in US and international courts instead of covering up for crimes (or do the
Zionists have enough scandals on those Palestinian leader to keep them
subservient).
It gets worse as Trump pledged to increase nuclear
arsenal (already enough to end all life on earth). The so called “Islamic
state” burned two more soldiers alive, adopted the attack in Berlin that
killed 12 (I would call them martyrs) in a Christmas market, an attack in Karak
Jordan (not yet 
adopted) that shook our friends and colleagues in Jordan, the
“Jewish state” killed more Palestinians and ethnically cleansed
others, and more and more. We had a vigil in Nativity square yesterday to
demand Israel release the bodies of the Palestinian martyrs it still holds. And
there is a march today at 1 PM near the wall (Checkpoint 300) in Bethlehem for
demanding release of prisoners and bodies and fo ending the “Jewish
state”‘s (now almost 50 year) occupation of Bethlehem and the rest of
Palestine.
