Shani grabbed the phone from her mother, initiating a conversation with her sister that would last for more than three hours. Initially, Eden hid in a car, motionless alongside the bodies of friends who had been shot and killed. “She could hear the sound of blood dripping on the floor as she played dead,” Shani said of her sister’s experience. “I told her not to listen and instead concentrate on the sound of my voice.” Moments later, a phone belonging to one of the slain rang, sparking fears that Shani would be discovered. Eventually, someone approached the car, an Israeli man urging her to flee in the direction of a forested area. “I thought I had lost my little sister as her phone had died. Shortly after that, I got a call from an unknown number. Eden had taken a friend’s phone.” “She told me she’d separated from the Israeli man and that he’d been caught,” said Shani. Eden remained in the bush, in a fetal position, for hours. “At one point, ants were crawling up her face and biting her. I yelled at her not to cry. I knew if she did they’d find her but they did anyway,” Shani said. “I told her that the police were on the way. We called the army; no one came.” Then, Eden heard men shouting in Arabic. “I could hear them through the phone,” Shani recounted. “I knew that those were my last moments with my sister. I had started recording the call when she whispered, ‘They caught me.’” On the recording, Hamas terrorists can be heard saying the word, “Ta’ala,” before the phone conversation ends. Ta’ala, a term of exaltation in Arabic, means Allah “the most high.” During the whole conversation, Shani had set herself up in her bedroom, away from the noise and hysteria of the rest of the family. She was unaware of the scope of Hamas’s massacre, and that some 240 persons had been abducted into Gaza, including 40 from the Supernova festival. Shani admitted feeling relief that her sister was not killed on the spot, hoping she would not be held captive alone and that the sheer magnitude of the crisis would create sufficient pressure to secure the release of all the hostages. In November, 105 Israelis and foreign nationals were indeed freed as part of a week-long ceasefire with Hamas, a ceasefire the latter soon breached. Ninety-one days later, Eden is still in Gaza. Of the approximately 1,200 persons terrorists murdered on Oct. 7, some 364 were shot, mutilated, sexually abused and burned beyond recognition at the Supernova event near Kibbutz Re’im. Last week saw the deadliest executions of six innocent hostages. Eden weighed 36kg, she has been held in captivity for 11 months, tortured, abused, starved and denied any human rights. Her right to exist was violated because she was an Israeli. Her right to live was denied because she was Jewish. There is no possible explanation to justify her execution or that of the five other hostages who were executed and subjected to the same torture. This is genocide and this is ethnic cleansing.

1:35 Today the Israeli Occupation Forces brutally murdered Aysenur Eygi- an American citizen and a peace activist protesting settlements in the West Bank. Israeli forces shot her in the head. Deliberately. Just as they did Shireen Abu Akleh two years ago. Mainstream media is already working overtime to whitewash this crime. They’ve described Aysenur as a “Turkish-American” or “American-Turkish” in an obvious attempt to downplay her identity as a full American citizen (not that her citizenship should matter ... but to our policymakers and the public, it does). They’ve called it “a shooting” stating that “an activist was killed” without describing how she died - or by whose hand. Aysenur Eygi was a brilliant young woman who dedicated her life to the service of others. As a fresh graduate she could have been chasing the career of her dreams. But she chose to hold the line for Palestine. In February of this year, following the death of three American soldiers in Jordan at the suspected hands of Iranian-backed proxy rebels, Joe Biden forcefully declared: “If you harm an American, we will respond." Well Joe. They murdered an American today. Will you finally stop arming the murderers?

This is parts of an article, please copy, paste the comment & google for full article: Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reported : “ Israel is exploiting the West Bank to process hazardous waste produced in Israel. Any transfer of hazardous waste to the West Bank is a breach of international law which Israel is dutybound to uphold. Waste treatment in the West Bank is simply one more facet of the exploitative policy Israel has practiced consistently for fifty years now, using Palestinian space and people to further its own interests. Israel, taking into account its own needs alone, treats its waste in the West Bank and completely ignores its legal and moral obligations toward the Palestinian population there. Israel has turned the West Bank into a sacrifice zone, exploiting and harming the environment at the expense of the Palestinian residents, who are completely excluded from the decision-making process

I spent a year leaving in the hills in Kenya in the 1980’s and witnessed some of that domestic violence firsthand. Women had so little power and so many responsibilities like farming, raising children and keeping up the household. They also had to get along with their husband’s other wives and children who lived on the same compound. Polygamy was common in Kenya.
