Coronavirus pandemic
Lateral flow test being performed

Digital health editor
Covid testing is being scaled back even further in England from April.
It is part of the "living with Covid" approach that relies on vaccines
to keep people safe.
Most staff and patients in hospitals and care homes will no longer be
given swab tests, even if they have symptoms.
Some will though, such as staff working with severely immunocompromised
patients or if there is an outbreak on a ward or in a hospice or prison, >>> for example.
ADVERTISEMENT
The long-running Office for National Statistics Covid infection survey
that estimated how many people in the community had the virus each week
- based on nose and throat swabs from volunteers - has already come to
an end.
The final one suggested 1.7 million people - about one out of every 35
(2.7%) - had Covid in the week ending 13 March, a14% rise on the
previous week.
But the UK Health Security Agency says thanks to the continuing success
of the vaccination programme, testing in England can now become more
like the approach used for other common respiratory infections such as flu. >>>
Covid booster jab to be offered this spring
Although, it can quickly be scaled up again if another big wave of
Covid, or a new variant, starts putting pressure on the NHS.
And scientists will keep checking some of the swabs tests that are
given, to see how the virus is mutating and whether there are fresh
concerns.
The testing that is ending includes:
routine asymptomatic testing for staff and patients being admitted to
all health and social-care settings, including hospitals and care homes
(most of this testing paused in August 2022 anyway)
routine symptomatic testing of staff and residents in care settings
routine symptomatic testing in prisons, places of detention and
homelessness, refuge and asylum settings
polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) testing outside NHS settings
Lateral-flow tests will continue for:
people in the community and residents in care or other high-risk
settings who have symptoms and are eligible for Covid treatment, to
enable rapid access to these drugs
some NHS staff who have symptoms and work on wards with severely
immunosuppressed patients
hospice staff with symptoms
all patients being discharged from hospitals into care settings
outbreak testing in the NHS, hospices, prisons, places of detention and
care, homelessness, refuge and asylum settings
some hospital patients with symptoms, where needed to inform decisions
such as ward transfers
UKHSA chief executive Dr Dame Jenny Harries said: "Fewer people now
experience severe illness due to Covid - due to vaccinations,
infection-related immunity and treatments for those who need them - and
the risk of hospitalisation has decreased overall.
"This means we are now able to further bring our testing programmes in
line with management of other viral infections whilst still maintaining
focus on those at highest risk, to protect them from the virus.
"Covid and other respiratory illnesses haven't gone away - and simple
actions like washing your hands and staying at home and avoiding
vulnerable people when unwell can make a big difference.
"For those at highest risk of severe illness, the spring booster
programme also provides an opportunity to keep immunity topped up."
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: "Testing was
crucial to our response during the height of the pandemic - and our
successful vaccination programme has protected the most vulnerable,
saved thousands of lives and has helped us all to live with Covid.
"Thankfully, we are now able to scale back our testing programme while
remaining committed to ensuring those at highest risk and more prone to
severe illness get the protection they need."
In the interim, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the UK & elsewhere is by
rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
http://WDJW.great-site.net/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to
call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of
stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the best while
preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations
and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu &
Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-RNA-replication to form
hybrids like http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current
COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?

'I get overwhelmed by the noises and crowds of school'

BBC ErinBBC
Erin was at primary school when the pandemic started
The disruption and isolation of lockdown had a particularly profound
impact on children with special needs, many of who did not receive the
support they required. Some schools are now struggling to help pupils
who find it difficult to cope.
Lockdown turned out to be very bad news for 14-year-old Erin, from Oldham. >>>
She was in the last year of primary school at the time of the first
lockdown. The experience affected her confidence massively.
"Before Covid, I'd never imagined feeling uncomfortable doing anything,
I was always the first one to say 'I'll do that', now I don't dare do
anything."
At the time Erin enjoyed being confined to one class, feeling like it
was a safe space.
But when education returned to normal, she struggled at her new school,
Newman Roman Catholic College. "I get really overwhelmed with all the
noises and the crowds. I cannot deal with crowds - it really stresses me >>> out."
The Covid kids starting school unable to speak
The school picking kids up from home to boost attendance
Erin had already been diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia, but an
assessment for autism was put on hold during the pandemic.
"It delayed diagnosis, we missed the opportunity to get additional
support and that has had a big impact on her," says her mum, Cheryl.
Before Covid, 16 children at the school were on Education, Health and
Care (EHCP) plans which set out additional support given by the local
authority for special educational needs. Now the figure is 53.
Cheryl and Erin
Cheryl (l) with Erin
In addition there are 176 children like Erin who need extra learning
support but do not qualify for an EHCP, so the school must fund them out >>> of its existing budget.
For those with an EHCP, the first £7,000 comes from the school budget
before the local authority can offer more.
Across England 353,995 EHCPs were issued in 2019, but in 2023, after the >>> pandemic, the number had risen to 517,000. The number of pupils with SEN >>> support without an EHC Plan now stands at 1,183,384.
EHCP: 'My autistic daughter has not been in school for 10 months'
Erin fell behind at school, and started to get into trouble. She
regularly walked out of class, and then refused to return.
"I was quite a nightmare, I was out of control. One of my mates
literally had to sit and do my work in my lessons because I wouldn't do
it," she says.
Cheryl said she would get frantic phone calls and text messages from
Erin, often from the school toilet, asking for her to come and take her
home. "It was hard. It was really hard, I felt like a failure as a
parent," she says.
Staff say the school has worked hard to address the problems of Erin and >>> the other pupils with special needs. There is a safe space - called The
Link - where pupils can spend their breaks and lunchtimes away from crowds. >>>
Erin is in smaller classes - known as nurture groups - for most lessons, >>> and staff established a pass system to allow her to leave school and
take a break when things got too much.
Erin has also had sessions with the local Children and Adolescent Mental >>> Health Services (CAMHS) to improve her behaviour and self-esteem that
has made a "massive, massive difference".
But despite this Erin has only managed to be in school for a couple of
days a week for the last few years.
"If I walk in the room and there is a test I'm walking back out of it, I >>> can't do it. I need a week to prepare myself."
Pupils like Erin, who go to school in the most-deprived areas - more
than a third of pupils at Newman qualify for free school means - are
much more likely to be persistently absent than those who attended
schools in the least-deprived areas. A third have missed at least 10% of >>> sessions so far this academic year.
Hungry and anxious
Rebecca Ashworth, who plays a leading role in Newman's safeguarding, has >>> to deal with hungry children who ask for food, and severe incidents of
self-harm which result in a trip to A&E.
She says her job is "more stressful" than her old position in front-line >>> social work.
"There is so much more put on schools post-Covid. We have definitely
seen an increase in mental health concerns and safeguarding concerns
across the board," she says.
She said the support services to which pupils are referred are also
incredibly stretched. Although the school has an NHS CAMHS mental health >>> practitioner who sees five children one day a week, they can only deal
with pupils who pose a low-level risk.
With 1,500 children in the school, Rebecca says there is no way that
needs can be fully met, and across Oldham 409 children are waiting for a >>> neuro-development assessment.
Maggie Holland, who works at the school providing mental health support, >>> says problems with pupils' self-esteem have never been worse. Since
Covid she has drop-ins at breaktime and lunchtime, and staff do morning
"meets and greets" with pupils with social anxiety who do not attend
school to try to persuade them to return.
She says family breakdown during Covid have exacerbated problems for
children who found themselves in the middle of conflict. She also
noticed that children's eating habits had changed during lockdown, with
some either bingeing or not eating at all.
Clear behaviour guidelines
Maths specialist Sam Gray, Newman's head of behaviour, says the school
had "the worst behaviour we've ever seen when we got back after Covid".
However, it has worked hard on how best to deal with students,
tightening up the existing systems and responses to behaviour.
For instance, being late to lessons is an automatic detention, but new
rewards have also been introduced, including celebrating a Newman hero
every week.
Sam Gray
The school's head of behaviour, Sam Gray
Staff have undergone a lot of retraining too, but there is only so much
they can do.
"We can't educate 1,500 to the level we want whilst dealing with a huge
amount of personal and societal crisis," he says.
"It's like we're just burying our heads and keeping going without ever
taking a step back and thinking society has changed [post-Covid] and how >>> are we going to change with that.
"There's a lack of trust from parents of anyone in power and I do think
that comes from Covid.
"We've got really good relationships with our parents, we're building
that up again, but that's taking time, that's taken three years."
Head teacher Glyn Potts says the forced pause on normal school life
during Covid should have presented an opportunity to create a better
system fit for the future - but it was not taken.
"We tinkered around the edge and tried to recreate what we had before
moving forward, and that was such a missed opportunity.
"And now more schools are operating within that framework when the world >>> has changed.
"We're dealing with issues and expected to do more when the resources
and the infrastructure are not there - yet we're still finding a way of
making it work."
A Department for Education spokesperson said schools should have
sensitive conversations with families and work closely with them to put
in place support for children with special educational needs.
"Thanks to our fantastic teachers and school leaders, and our package of >>> wide-ranging reforms designed to support schools to improve attendance,
440,000 fewer children were persistently absent or not attending last
year," they said.
In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).
Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the UK & elsewhere is by
rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
"convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
longer effective.

Raising A Mixed Race Girl In A White World
By Liz McTan -February 26, 2020
FacebookTwitterPinterestReddItEmail
mixed race girl
My husband and I looked at each other shocked. We had just heard our
daughter say something we never thought would be an issue. Our gorgeous
little mixed race girl, only three years old, said she didn’t think she
was beautiful.
Suddenly, I was aware I had a blind spot.
I had assumed – because everyone comments how pretty she is all the
time, and because she is so clearly gorgeous – that us reinforcing her
other qualities would be enough.
I didn’t expect that all the people she herself thought of as
“beautiful” didn’t look like her.
It happened as I was watching my daughter playing with her precious Anna >>> doll (from FROZEN) with her Dad. They were brushing Anna’s hair. My
husband asked her, “oh look at her long hair. Is Anna beautiful?” “Yes,” >>> said my daughter quickly.
Then he asked “Is Juni beautiful?” And then, just as quickly, my
gorgeous little three-year-old said, “no.”
Hearing her say she didn’t think she was beautiful was like a punch in
the gut.
I jumped into the conversation:
“OF COURSE JUNI IS BEAUTIFUL! JUNI IS ALSO STRONG AND BRAVE JUST LIKE
ANNA, AND SHE’S KIND AND FUNNY LIKE ANNA! AND BEAUTIFUL! JUNI IS VERY
PRETTY LIKE ANNA! WHY WOULD YOU SAY JUNI’S NOT BEAUTIFUL, BABY?”
She seemed so unbothered. We were definitely the more upset ones in this >>> situation. But as we talked, she finally said it.
“MAMA RED HAIR. ANNA RED HAIR. JUNI NO RED HAIR.”
It hit me like a ton of bricks. My daughter is a mixed race girl. Her
favorite character is a white girl, with naturally red hair just like
me. She saw those as the things that make you beautiful. Sweet, simple,
and incredibly painful to realize.
The reality is, there are no children’s characters like my mixed race
girl, half asian and half white.
My child is so uniquely beautiful. I had assumed that other people
commenting on it all the time would sink under her skin, and if anything >>> we would spend her life making sure she didn’t JUST value her beauty.
I knew that over-valuing my looks made some difficulties for me later in >>> life. However I’d never had a lack of representation.
I grew up seeing myself in THE LITTLE MERMAID. In PIPPI LONGSTOCKING. In >>> Jessica Rabbit. I knew my red hair made me special.
While we are generally getting more representation for people of color
and ethnic minorities in our media, role models for mixed race girls and >>> boys are in a whole different ballgame. Representation is a process in
terms of our culture.
How long did it take to get people of color represented beyond the
stereotypical roles at all? The answer is way too long.
When my daughter watches her favorite cartoons, there is no one with her >>> skin tone, her eye shape, and hair color combo.
She is such a perfect mixture of our features. We get people commenting
all the time:
“WHERE DID SHE GET THOSE EYES!?”
The check out girl at the super market asks, looking at me and her
father with our dark eyes. My daughter’s eyes are a
hazel/grey/blue/green that she inherited from her uncles. Her hair is
just slightly auburn in the light, but mostly a light brown neither of
us have. Her eye shape is a subtle mix of her father’s almond and my own >>> more round shape. This all makes her totally unique.
It also means no one looks like her and she will deal with the issues
her life long.
Things my white privilege made me incredibly unaware about as the mother >>> of a mixed race girl.
So what to do? Well, hop on the internet and talk to other mothers of
mixed race children. While it might be that there is a lack of
representation in media, mixed kids are more common than ever before.
Mixed race families are practically the norm here in Southern
California. Juniper certainly isn’t the only one in our friendship
group, school, or anywhere else we go.
My friends suggested things from Barbies that look mixed race to this
great article about how to celebrate diversity with our kids. Books are
on their way to our house as we speak like It’s Okay to Be Different,
and The Colors of Us.
Mostly, I’ve realized that issues of race and white privilege come much
earlier in life than I anticipated.
That’s probably no shock to my friends who aren’t white. However, this
stuff takes time to learn if you haven’t lived it yourself and even the
most “woke” of us have so much room to grow.
I just hope I can do enough to make sure my mixed race girl knows she is >>> beautiful, and her differences make her even more so.
I simply wish that all children (and their parents) know Apostle
Paul's secret ( https://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ) "rapture riddle"
(Luke 17:37) answer **now** so that they don't perish with
https://AntiChrist45.com in the imminent Great Tribulation.
Indeed.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry for food right now (Luke 6:21a) and
hope you, Michael, and others reading this, also have a healthy
appetite for food right now too.

Biden Stabs Israel in the Back to Keep His Anti-Semitic Vote and Gets
Justly Hammered For His Betrayal? Mainstream Media To The Rescue!
MAY 13, 2024 / JACK MARSHALL
“Nah, there’s no mainstream media bias!” To be fair, it’s past time to
rephrase the oft-used Ethics Alarm catch phase as, “Nah, the mainstream
media doesn’t just take marching orders from the Democratic National
Committee to cover for Biden’s indefensible leadership!”
Too long, I know. OK, it needs some work.
Suddenly, all through the news media over the weekend, the tale of how
President Ronald Reagan intervened with a threat to withhold arms that
had already been approved for delivery to Israel to force the nation to
change its military strategy was being thrown in the faces of Biden
critics and Israel supporters. Huh. Where did that come from?
Surprise! It came from the New York Times, the flagship of the corrupt,
partisan media, just in time to fuel the “advocacy journalists'” efforts >>> over the weekend to help block Israel’s right to defend its existence
and its citizens from terrorism.
Interviewing GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, and by “interviewing” I mean
debating as she took the side of Democrats, the Biden Administration,
the anti-Semitic students roiling campuses and Hamas, NBC News anchor
Kristen Welker said, “As you know, former President Ronald Reagan, on
multiple occasions, withheld weapons to impact Israel’s military
actions,” Welker said. “Did President Reagan show that using U.S.
military aid, as leverage, can actually be an effective way to rein in
and impact Israel’s policy?”
What a perfect factoid to weaponize for an appeal to authority and
Rationalization #32. The Unethical Role Model: “He/She would have done
the same thing”! The timely Times revelation: in August of 1982, Israel
was shelling Palestinian terrorist strongholds in Lebanon, then a
failing state in the throes of a civil war, with Palestinian forces
controlling territory on its southern border. President Reagan saw films >>> of a Lebanese child horribly wounded in the attack, and called up then
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to threaten a withdrawal of U.S.
aid if the shelling didn’t stop. Begin gave in. The Times also informed
its readers that President Eisenhower threatened economic sanctions and
to cut off aid to force Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula
after it invaded Egypt in 1956. So, the Times concluded, “If it was
reasonable for the Republican presidential icon to limit arms to impose
his will on Israel…it should be acceptable for the current Democratic
president to do the same.” Well, the Times wrote “they argued,” meaning
defenders of all-things Democrat, but we know, or should, that by “they” >>> in such situations, the mainstream media means “we.”
Thereby pre-programmed, Welker sprung the “But Reagan did it!” argument
on Graham after he said, “Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war >>> they can’t afford to lose, and work with them to minimize causalities.”
The Reagan “gotcha!” is a facile and dishonest comparison designed for
ignorant members of the public and wielded by either ignorant or
deliberately deceptive journalists like Welker. First, the two
situations are not sufficiently analogous. Lebanon was in turmoil, and
the nation was not being governed by elected terrorists; its citizens
were literally caught in the crossfire. Israel was not at war with
Lebanon. It is at war with Gaza, because the Gazan government attacked
Israel on October 7. Second, 1982 is not 2024. As even the Times points
out, it was Democrats then that advocated complete support of Israel’s
right to defend itself, and Republicans who were tepid in their
support—and Democrats condemned them for it. Moreover, acceptance of the >>> fact that Israel must employ extraordinary means to to survive has
solidified over the decades, as Iran continues to threaten eventual
nuclear annihilation, Hamas has continued to lob missiles into Israel in >>> defiance of ceasefires and international law, and hope of a peaceful
“two-state solution” has been repeatedly dashed.
Finally, and one would think obviously, the fact that “Reagan did it”
doesn’t mean Reagan was right. That Israel is still being threatened by
Palestinian terrorists over 40 years later suggests that we might not be >>> where we are today if the U.S. had allowed Begin to do what he believed
was best for his own nation and its citizens in 1982. Even as the Times
describes it, Reagan made an emotional decision based on seeing the
image an injured child. “Think of the children!” Shame on him. That is
the level of analysis being used by the pro-Hamas protesters. Competent
Presidents and national leaders do not act because their heartstrings
get tugged on. (I suspect Nancy…)
If Senator Graham had been quicker on his metaphorical feet, he would
have asked Welker to describe the circumstances that led Israel to shell >>> Lebanon, since she was citing it as a fair analogy. She didn’t know. (It >>> wasn’t explained in the Times piece.) She was just mouthing a retort
scripted for her to defend NBC’s favorite party and its President from
criticism while confusing her audience.
mmm
In the interim, the only godly way to win the war against terrorism
and bigotry is as shown on-line at http://WonderfullyHungry.org in the
Person of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Who is our #1 Example of
living "wonderfully hungry" ( https://bit.ly/Lk2442 ).

No, Doctors, “Do No Harm” Does Not Mean “Make Anti-Israel/Gaza War >>>Statements in Your Hospital
JUNE 24, 2024 / JACK MARSHALL
We knew, or should have, that the medical profession was not immune from >>>the ethics rot brought upon us by the advent of The George Floyd >>>Freakout, the 2016 Post-Election Ethics Train Wreck, The Great Stupid >>>(and its DEI sub-cult) and the rest. Here is a throbbing example.
At the University of California, San Francisco, one of the nation’s most >>>respected medical schools and teaching hospitals, medical students and >>>doctors have been protesting the war in Gaza. Chants of “intifada, >>>intifada, long live intifada!” could be heard by patients in their >>>hospital rooms at the U.C.S.F. Medical Center. It doesn’t really matter >>>what the chants were: they could bebeen “Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids
did you kill today?” (one of my personal favorites.) Medical personnel >>>should never promote political views in a hospital. Why isn’t that obvious? >>>
The New York Times reports, “Doctors [at the hospital] have feuded over >>>whether it is appropriate to openly express feelings about the war
within the healing confines of a hospital. In interviews, several Jewish >>>doctors said they had taken an oath to “do no harm,” and that meant >>>keeping politics separate from the care of their patients….But some >>>doctors said they interpreted “do no harm” in a different way, feeling a >>>moral obligation to speak out against the killing of doctors and
patients in Gaza where Israeli strikes have struck hospitals. And they >>>said that as a medical community, it was important for U.C.S.F. to take
a stand against the war and call for a cease-fire.”
[Aside: “Israeli strikes have struck hospitals” is misleading, and >>>knowing the Times, I would guess intentionally so.

The argument that “Do no harm,” the famous section of the Hippocratic >>>Oath, compels medical professionals to take political positions is >>>disingenuous. “Do no harm” means not engaging in any professional
conduct that harms or might harm patients. A doctor mixing politics and >>>protests with treatment is placing his or her own interests over those

They have dire >>>illnesses,” one Jewish doctor at the hospital told the Times. “When that >>>chant goes up and is heard in the patient care rooms, which it clearly >>>was, it’s a violation of our professional obligations as health care >>>providers.”
Sure it is. Participating in protests in a hospital is unethical; a >>>doctor inflicting his or her political views on patients is unethical. >>>But lawyers, scholars, ethicists, scientists, journalists and every
other professional group has thoroughly disgraced itself with >>>unprofessional conduct in recent years, so doctors joining the club was >>>inevitable.
One telling section of the article reads, “U.C.S.F. has a dress code >>>prohibiting political symbols in patient care settings, but ….staff >>>members for years have worn pins supporting abortion rights, Black Lives >>>Matter and the L.G.B.T.Q. community without repercussions.” And what is >>>happening now is why that dress code was essential to maintaining >>>professional standards at the hospital to ensure the welfare of

Raja Abdulrahim, the New York Times reporter who prepared and wrote the >>>splashy A-Section feature story in today’s print edition, says in her >>>linked bio that “I abide by The Times’s ethical journalism standards. >>>That includes refraining from promoting or protesting issues related to >>>my work.” Can she possibly believe this while writing a piece of “Poor >>>Palestinians!” propaganda like “There Is No Childhood in Gaza”? [Note: >>>This is a gift link from me to get you past the paywall]
I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, I suppose; it’s the ethical
thing to do. Her story, and the way it is written, however, can evoke no >>>possible response from typical semi-attentive and easily manipulated >>>readers than “Think of the children! The Jews are monsters! Cease fire >>>now! The Gazans have suffered enough! Justice for Palestine!”
And this is exactly the end result that Hamas sought when it launched
its cease-fire shattering surprise terror attack on Israeli civilians, >>>including infants, on October 7.
The words “terror,” “terrorism,” and “terrorist” don’t appear anywhere
in Abdulrahim’s story. I can’t give her the benefit of the doubt on
that: it amounts to deliberate misrepresentation. Here’s the smoking gun >>>paragraph that constitutes the entire context provided for the article:
After the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Israeli military >>>launched the war with the stated aim of eradicating Hamas, unleashing
one of the heaviest aerial bombardments the world has seen in this >>>century on densely populated Gaza. Israel has accused Hamas of taking >>>advantage of Gaza’s urban terrain to provide its fighters and weapons >>>infrastructure with an extra layer of protection, running tunnels under >>>neighborhoods, launching rockets near civilian homes and holding
hostages in city centers. Hamas denies these accusations and says its >>>members are Gazans themselves and live among the population….”
This is reducing a key reality of the war in Gaza to a “he said/she
said” dispute, and hey, how can you know who do you believe? There is no >>>genuine question about the existence of Hamas tunnels under schools, >>>hospitals and civilian communities in Gaza, or about whether Hamas uses >>>the naive citizens who voted them into power as human shields to provoke >>>exactly the kind of outrage against Israel—and Jews—that the Times story >>>will.
Gaza is no different from any war zone since the beginning of time. >>>Children suffer because of the decisions of adults. The photo above >>>struck me in its resemblance to a set in “Saving Private Ryan” that >>>supported a harrowing scene where desperate French parents try to give >>>their child to American troops to protect her. American bombs created >>>that landscape during D-Day. There were no stories in American
newspapers during World War II about the suffering of German and
Japanese children, in part because wartime censors didn’t permit it, but >>>substantially because American journalists knew that the Nazis and >>>Japan’s imperialists would be the direct beneficiaries of “Think of the >>>Children!” propaganda. There are no government censors blocking stories >>>about how hard the war against Ukraine has been on Russian children, but >>>there haven’t been any, and I woulkd be shocked if there ever were.
Yes, this is ethics zugzwang again: the public has a right to know what >>>its government is doing in a war, but because the public will always let >>>emotion overwhelm logic and common sense, its reaction to information >>>such as what children go though when their country is fighting another >>>country will often assist “the bad guys,” or worse, “the evil guys,”
like Hitler and Hamas. This photo, for example…
….a classic in “Think of the children!” porn, helped the Communists win >>>the Vietnam War.
“International law experts have said that Israel has a responsibility to >>>protect civilians, even if Hamas exploits them the way Israel says it >>>does. The Israeli military says it takes “all feasible precautions” to >>>mitigate harm to civilians,” Abdulrahim writes. “The children of Gaza >>>have suffered in myriad ways. Of the tens of thousands of Palestinians >>>killed in the war, an estimated 15,000 were under 18, according to Gazan >>>health officials. The United Nations estimates that at least 19,000 more >>>children have been orphaned. And nearly one million children have been >>>displaced, according to UNICEF, the U.N. children’s agency.”
Obviously, the war must be stopped then…
International law is a myth. People who have barely thought about the >>>concept believe there is really some duly passed and executed body of >>>laws that governments are bound to obey regarding warfare. This is part >>>of the hopeless confusion the Nuremberg Trials created, probably
forever. The people who write and “pass” international laws constricting >>>warfare really and truly think they can legislate war out of existence. >>>These are John Lennon fans. They may not do more harm than good, but
it’s a close call.
This section in the quote is a smoking gun: “International law experts >>>have said that Israel has a responsibility to protect civilians, even if >>>Hamas exploits them the way Israel says it does.” There is no “even if” >>>about it, Hamas does exploit its own civilians, and what the Times and >>>“international law experts” are saying is—literally— that if wiping out >>>an organization dedicated to destroying Israel (and that has made it >>>clear that it will never stop trying to accomplish that goal) requires >>>making life terrible for children until that organization is removed as
a threat to slaughter Israeli children, then it is illegal and unethical >>>for Israel to pursue that objective.
This is the “thinking” of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, “The Squad,” Jamaal >>>Bowman, Cori Bush, hoards of campus anti-Semites, much of the Democratic >>>Party and, as this story shows, the New York Times.
The only godly way to win the war against terrorism and anti-Semitism
and bigotry is by lifting up our Messiah, Who is both the always
hungry Lion of Judah **and** the always Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) Lamb of
GOD as our #1 Example of always living http://WonderfullyHungry.org ( >>https://bit.ly/Lk2442 ) with all glory ( https://bit.ly/Psalm112_1 )

Brilliant: What Israel Is Trying To Do Is Self-Preservation, Not >>>Genocide. So “Genocide” Has To Be Redefined So Israel Can Be Accused Of >>>Doing It…
August 21, 2024 / Jack Marshall
The case of “genocide” is a classic in the annals of deliberate >>>linguistic manipulation for unethical goals.
A detailed essay in the New York Times explains the machinations around >>>the word, which is similar to what we have seen recently in other cases, >>>like that of “women,” “racism,” “lying,” “ad hominem” (in a debate here >>>on Ethics Alarms), “fascism,”and “insurrection,” to name just a few of >>>many. The proliferation of this Orwellian process should set off not
just ethics alarms but evil alarms.
As the article correctly explains, international law addressing genocide >>>was aimed at extreme and unequivocal examples where a nation sets out to >>>exterminate an entire race or ethnic group for no other reason than that >>>group’s existence. It is the ultimate hate crime, and thus was labeled a >>>“crime against humanity.” The Holocaust was the prime example: nothing >>>describes genocide more indisputably than a group of experts, military >>>officials and government leaders sitting around a table and deciding on
a “Final Solution.”
But as the article relates, mission creep has invaded the anti-genocide >>>brigade, for example with the United States being accused of genocide in >>>its treatment of Native American and because of the actions of the KKK >>>and others during the Jim Crow era, and now, with Israel being vilified >>>by the genocide label for being determined to eliminate a terrorist >>>organization pledged to commit genocide against Israelis.
Naturally, the United Nations is complicit in this process, and, >>>naturally, so is the I.C.J., the U.N.’s top court. The U.S., among other >>>nations, supports the Geneva Convention but doesn’t accept the authority >>>of the I.C.J. The article doesn’t explicitly explain why, but the reason >>>is obvious: the court is subject to political motives and bias. It can’t >>>be trusted.
“Genocide” has been slowly made a synonym for “human rights violations,” >>>and wars are by definition human rights violations. Thus the U.N. can >>>always use a politicized definition of “genocide” to declare any war, >>>even one triggered by a nation’s right and obligation to defend itself >>>and its citizens, as “genocide”—particularly if the nation waging the
war is Israel.
By the standards being weaponized by the protesters at the Democratic >>>National Convention, the U.S. ending World War II with two atom bombs >>>would qualify as genocide.
This is the unethical—but effective—process:
1. Identify a nation, group, individual, or leader that you want to >>>demonize.
2. Find a word universally regarded as describing conduct that is
heinous and unforgivable.
3. Redefine that word so that the policies, conduct or stated position
of that nation, group, individual, or leader can be described by it.
4. Repeat that word in association with the nation, group, individual,
or leader’s policies, conduct or stated positions so that the word
itself is defined by those policies, conduct or stated positions, rather >>>than the other way around.
The average member of the public—you know, morons—won’t know the difference. >>>
What makes this tactic so effective, diabolical, and impossible to stop >>>is that there are many examples of pejorative words that should be used >>>and understood to apply beyond their most narrow definitions. Child >>>abuse. Indoctrination. Propaganda. Totalitarianism. Conflicts of >>>interest. The distinction, perhaps, is whether the expanded definition
is made in good faith, or it it is only aimed at a particular adversary >>>to achieve strategic political gains.
The article, “The Bitter Fight Over the Meaning of ‘Genocide’” is here >>>for you to read, freed from the paywall.
Instead of genocide, it's Purim. Phonetically, Hamas remind us of
Haman, who was so hangry at Mordecai, the Jew, that his hatred/bigotry >>extended to latter's entire ethnic group. Just as GOD utterly >>defeating/destroying Haman wasn't murder, His destroying Hamas isn't >>genocide. It is written that GOD says "Vengeance is Mine. I will
avenge."
Very great point!
Bottom line: Terrible things happen to the terribly hungry (aka >>https:/bit.ly/h_angry like Hamas now following the example of Haman in
the time of Esther and the example of https://bit.ly/BiblicalEsau in
the time of Jacob/Israel in Genesis 25:32 when all of Palestine was
sold forever to Israel for just a single meal of bread and red lentil >>soup).
So, instead of hangry, I am simply http://WonderfullyHungry.org for
food right now (Luke 6:21a) and hope you, Michael, and others reading

The Ethics of Deporting Mahmoud Khalil For Pro-Terrorist Advocacy
March 11, 2025 / Jack Marshall
ICE arrested Palestinian activist and former Columbia student Mahmoud
Khalil with the intent of deporting him in accordance with the announced >>> Trump policy of deporting non-citizens who engage in pro-“terrorist”
speech related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Predictably, the
Axis is all-in supporting Khalil, who sure appears to be a bad human
hill to die on. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned ICE’s
detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move, “Violating >>> rule of law, actually,” she wrote. That AOC defends him alone makes me
inclined to want to get rid of the guy, but that would be irrational.
Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York issued an order
today halting Khalil’s processing and scheduled a hearing on the case
for later this week. Ah yes, the Southern District of New York!
In a confusing essay at The Volokh Conspiracy, Ilya Somin writes that
deporting non-citizens for the content of their speech is a Firts
Amendment violation and “a slippery slope,” then, in the fifth
paragraph, acknowledges that 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3), bars “Any alien who
… endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse >>> or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization.” I’d
say endorsing and supporting Hamas qualifies under that law, wouldn’t
you? So Somin says, “Such laws, too, should be ruled unconstitutional.”
But until and unless it is, the Trump administration has the law on its
side.
The question remains, is such a restriction on the free speech of
non-citizens ethical? Somin:
“The First Amendment’s protection for freedom of speech, like most
constitutional rights, is not limited to US citizens. The text of the
First Amendment is worded as a general limitation on government power,
not a form of special protection for a particular group of people, such
as US citizens or permanent residents. The Supreme Court held as much in >>> a 1945 case, where they ruled that “Freedom of speech and of press is
accorded aliens residing in this country.”
I find this absolutist approach fairly persuasive, because free speech
is safest when the exception to the First Amendment are rare. And yet, I >>> can also see the utilitarian value of a principle that says that while
one is a guest in this country and not yet a citizen, one should behave. >>> If you want full protection of the First Amendment, become a citizen.
Somin concedes that even if non-citizens have a right to free speech,
they don’t have a constitutional right to stay in the US so, arguably,
deporting them for disruptive speech doesn’t violate the Constitution.
But, he says, depriving people of a right as punishment for their speech >>> violates the First Amendment.
Except that residing in the U.S. when one is not a citizen isn’t a
right, but a privilege.
Somin also loses me—forever!—with this foolishness: “I would argue that
freedom of movement – including across international boundaries – is
also a human right, one that should not be restricted based on
arbitrary circumstances of parentage and place of birth.” That sounds
like an open boarders argument to me, and that is signature significance >>> for a scholar who is estranged from reality. Utopian positions that are
impossible in the real world are unethical: they just waste time and
confuse people.
Whether deporting non-citizen pro-terrorism advocates like Mahmoud
Khalil is constitutional, legal or ethical is a close call all around.
Presumably the U.S. Supreme Court will end up deciding.
The absolutely only godly way to permanently defeat all enemies of
Israel, including either Hamas and/or Hezbollah now but also all
others in the future, without sacrificing free speech is by lifting up
Israel's http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Luke 24:42-3) Messiah.
Indeed, I am http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Philippians 4:12) for food
right now (Luke 6:21a) and hope you, Michael, and others reading this,
also have a healthy appetite for food right now too.
So how are you ?

We can rest easily, folks: The inaptly named United Nations Human Rights >>> Council (UNHRC) has closely examined the aftermath of Hamas' attack on

Forget Hamas, It's All About Settler-Colonialism and Racial Capitalism
"The role of corporate entities in sustaining the illegal Israeli
occupation and its ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza is the subject of
the present investigative report, which is focused on how corporate
interests underpin the Israeli settler-colonial twofold logic of
displacement and replacement aimed at dispossessing and erasing
Palestinians from their lands," asserts Francesca Albanese, Special
Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian
territories occupied since 1967, in the introduction to the July 3
report. The document concludes, in part: "The enduring ideological,
political and economic engine of racial capitalism has transformed the
Israeli displacement-replacement economy of occupation into an economy
of genocide."
The report comes over a year and a half after the brutal October 7
invasion of Israel by Hamas terrorists during which, as the
Congressional Research Service summarizes, "more than 1,200 Israelis and >>> foreign nationals (including 46 U.S. citizens in Israel) were killed…and >>> Hamas and other groups also seized some 251 hostages." The report
references "October 2023" 30 times, but in a bizarre way. That date
somehow becomes a mysterious turning point during which Israel and its
corporate capitalist accessories became pointlessly meaner than ever
towards the seemingly peaceful people of Gaza.
"Had proper human rights due diligence been undertaken, corporate
entities would have long ago disengaged from Israeli occupation," the
report asserts. "Instead, post-October 2023, corporate actors have
contributed to the acceleration of the displacement-replacement process
throughout the military campaign that has pulverized Gaza and displaced
the largest number of Palestinians in the West Bank since 1967."
"Hamas" is mentioned only as part of the URL in a link to a Washington
Post story in a footnote. There is no mention of "hostages." The word
"antisemitism" is used exactly one time, in a dismissive manner when
Albanese "acknowledges the vital work of students and staff in holding
universities to account. It casts a new light on global crackdowns on
campus protesters: shielding Israel and protecting institutional
financial interests appears a more probable motivation than fighting
alleged antisemitism."
A U.N. Official's History of Antisemitism and Support for Terrorism
Albanese and her staff elide any events during October 2023 that might
have precipitated a change in policy by Israel towards Gaza, and they
wave away any possible hostility towards Jews. Of course, Albanese
herself was the subject of a 2024 report from Geneva-based watchdog
group UN Watch that found she is ill-disposed towards Israel and most of >>> its inhabitants. Titled Wolf In Sheep's Clothing: Why Democracies Should >>> Sanction UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese For Propagating Antisemitism
and Supporting Terrorism, that report documented a series of concerning
facts about Albanese. These include her accusation that the United
States has been "subjugated by the Jewish lobby"; that her husband, who
compares Palestinians to Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto, formerly worked for
the Palestinian Authority; that in her role as a U.N. official, she told >>> attendees at a Hamas-organized conference "you have a right to resist
this occupation"; and that she responded to Hamas's October 7 atrocities >>> by insisting "today's violence must be put in context."
Based on her conduct, statements, and connections, the UN Watch report
found that "Francesca Albanese knowingly supports Hamas and other
terrorist groups."
Accordingly, Albanese's reappointment to her position in April was
opposed by the United States, Argentina, Hungary, Israel, the
Netherlands, and members of the European Parliament from Bulgaria,
Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Slovakia, and Sweden, among other
interested parties. Nevertheless, she was granted another three-year
term in her position.
Sanctions Beget More Sanctions
That vote of confidence may have encouraged Albanese to let her freak
flag fly—more than in the past, that is. The July 3 report insists
"colonial endeavours and associated genocides have historically been
driven and enabled by the corporate sector, Commercial interests have
contributed to the dispossession of Indigenous people of their lands – a >>> mode of domination known as 'colonial racial capitalism.'" The report
calls out companies by name, including some top tech firms, for offering >>> their services to Israelis and allegedly enabling "Israeli apartheid"
and "military and population-control systems." It hisses that "while it
is impossible to fully capture the scale and extent of decades of
corporate connivance in the exploitation of the occupied Palestinian
territory, the present report exposes the integration of the economies
of settler-colonial occupation and genocide." It adds that "corporate
entities must refuse to be complicit in human rights violations and
international crimes or be held to account" and calls for sanctions not
just on Israel but also on individuals and businesses that engage with
the country.
That's some Ivy League grad student-level idiocy. But it's voiced by a
quasi-governmental official who is likely to justify and inspire
compliance among many U.N. member states that are already hostile to
Israel, Jews, and free enterprise.
After Albanese's latest mischief, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
responded, "Albanese has spewed unabashed antisemitism, expressed
support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel,
and the West." He noted that "she has recently escalated this effort by
writing threatening letters to dozens of entities worldwide, including
major American companies across finance, technology, defense, energy,
and hospitality, making extreme and unfounded accusations and
recommending the [International Criminal Court] pursue investigations
and prosecutions of these companies and their executives."
Rubio's statement imposed sanctions on Albanese of the sort detailed in
an earlier executive order. They include "blocking of property and
assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States." Were >>> Albanese a garden-variety bigot and hater of free markets, sanctions
would be an excessive reaction to hateful speech. But she's a U.N.
official: Her pronouncements help shape government policy. The
sanctions, then, are a matter of conflict between the U.S. government
and a hostile state actor.
The U.N. has long been an exercise in waste, failure, and doubletalk
where terms like "human rights" are used to negate their plain meaning.
Worse, though, the organization encourages government-level enforcement
of lies and hate.
The only godly way for there to be real lasting peace for Israel is by
lifting up their true Messiah, Who is our #1 Example of living
http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Luke 24:42-3).
No doubt about it!
Indeed, I am http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Philippians 4:12) for food
