Does Gaza have a river? Yes and no. There was a river in Gaza called Wadi Gaza. Israel diverted the rainwater upstream away from Wadi Gaza and turned it into dryland. Israel also stole most of the underground water from Gaza for its own irrigation. Israel's overusage of the water for irrigation also dried up Jordan River in recent years. Israel has been stealing Palestinian water for decades and made Palestinians rely on the desalinated water from Israel while charging them a high price. If this is not pure evil, then what is it? By the way, the Sea of Galilee is drying up too because of both overusage and climate change. Wadi Gaza has turned into a sewage system, thanks to Israel.

A man stands before me,

born in a city hundreds of thousands of miles from the city I was born in, 

there is pain in his voice, suffering in his eyes, anxiety in the slight shake of his voice, 

but he smiles with the kindness of a child who has never known hurt. 

Our conversation is short, 

but we agree,

on the irony of the promise that the world never let there be another Holocaust, 

and all the atrocities that followed that promise.

We agree, 

on the pattern of this retched country, we stand in, 

to promise justice to the suffering,

and to rip that justice from the hands of those suffering.

He laughs, smiling wide, 

like he isn't terrified, 

like his legs aren't shaking, 

stood against a tide of out of sight, out of mind.

We speak the atrocities we've heard of into life,

making them real, 

making the deaths of all those children undoable,

making the crumbling buildings fall, 

making the sound of the carpet bombings and the screaming mothers audible,

making the body bags in the ice cream trucks a fact. 

We stand, on a cold, October afternoon,

making the genocide impossible to ignore,

as we call out the politicians, 

whose hands drip with the blood of the exploited. 

People who know us pass by, 

now they have to see us, 

now they can't pretend it isn't happening,

now they have to confront the reality they inhabit, 

that they try to ignore, 

that none of us are free until all of us are free.

From the river,

Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello reported the arrest of a U.S. Navy SEAL alongside two Spanish citizens allegedly linked to intelligence agencies.

The foreign citizens are accused of plotting to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking Venezuelan officials.

At a press conference on Saturday at the ministry’s headquarters, in front of some of the 400 seized firearms linked to the reported plot, Cabello accused Wilbert Joseph Castañeda, an active duty U.S. sailor, of leading the effort on behalf of U.S. intelligence.

“Castañeda is the head of the operation, placed here by the CIA,” said Cabello.

The leading medical journal says that ‘indirect deaths’ of Palestinians from Israel’s destruction of civilian infrastructure would far exceed those killed directly by the bombing
