"Lest we Forget the Surafend Massacre. 10 December 1918. Mass killing of Palestinian villagers by ANZAC forces."
Mural in Gladigal / Sydney in memory of the victims of the premeditated massacre against the villagers of Sarafand al-Amar and a Bedouin camp by occupying Australian, New Zealand and Scottish soldiers in 1918.
The Australian participants in the murders were members of the Light Horse Brigade.
In his book Bersheeba, Australian journalist Paul Daley says this about the attitudes of Australian troops towards the Arabs in Palestine:
"For a lot of these [Australian] guys who joined the light horse, the 'natives' were aboriginal people… These guys would have grown up with living memory or family memory of massacres in and around rural properties from which Aboriginal people were dispossessed. So there was a parallel, I believe, between the way they viewed, on a human scale, the Bedouin and the town Arabs and the Aboriginal people back home."
No soldiers were ever identified for the killings at Surafend so there was no justice for the victims. ANZAC soldiers kept quiet according to their code of loyalty/secrecy which was recently cited as a problem in the investigation of war crimes against Australian special forces in Afghanistan.

Angel of Splendour or Allegory of Hell

Pencil and black chalk on paper, 1899
Just a note for the local crowd
Every now and then a difficult period like this comes along: so it's time to request some assistance.
I've kind of been neglecting my vision for the past year or so, aware that I needed new glasses (and to go have a consult for possible eye-related surgery), but putting it off... and now the situation has, as it were, come home to roost.
The other day, when I was typing something and then (to check it before posting) had to pick up the Mac and hold it up to my nose to see what I'd typed... I realized that if this went on much longer, even with dictation (because after you dictate, you still have to edit...), I wouldn't be able to write.
That would be bad.
I need to go see my Eye Lady, get examined, and get both sets of glasses re-fitted with new prescriptions. This—as usual, each time it needs to be done every year and a half or two years, due to Weird Eyes—is going to run into a low-four-figure-ish kind of money. And due to other recent unexpected medical expenses, right now there's not enough dosh around (or spondoolicks or whatever term you prefer...) to get things sorted.
Therefore: can I get people interested in keeping a writer, you know, writing (as I've got three novels working at once at the moment...), to consider doing one of these things?
(a) Go over to Ebooks Direct and buy a book. (Or a bundle. Or a gift card for somebody else who might like my work.) And if you do: thanks so much!
(b) Stop by my Ko-Fi and drop a little something in the pot. It'll be most appreciated.
Support Diane Duane
And if you can't do either of the above:
(c) Reblog this and let other people see it?
Whatever you do: thanks very much!
Just to quickly update folks (as it’s been a crazy day): Thanks to all of you, matters are much improved. I have a call in to my Eye Lady: we’ll soon see what can be sorted out.
Meanwhile: Thank you SO MUCH. ❤️ …More detail shortly.

Title: The Deposition Artist: unknown artist of the French School Date: 17th century Genre: religious art (Christianity) Period: Baroque Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: 58.8 cm (23.1 in) high x 43.7 cm (17.2 in) wide Location: Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, England, UK
This dramatic picture focuses on the deposition of Christ from the Cross, a common scene in Baroque art. The artist has used both positioning of the figures and variation in color to draw the eye to the central action. As Christ is lowered, retaining the position with outstretched arms that he had been forced to maintain while crucified, the apostle John (with green undershirt and red-orange robe) reaches up toward him. At left, the Virgin Mary swoons, her blue garment standing out against the subdued colors of the figure behind her. At right, an unknown figure weeps.
