I have learned so much from your recent articles. Born and raised in NYC and having been to many good schools, I was never taught one quarter of this history. It’s so incredibly sad that we teach our kids the same American history, lots of it propaganda, year after year leaving out huge chunks we don’t like. How can young people not be so discouraged and have the apathy I see in so many? They have no historic context on much that’s happening now. Thank you. I look forward to reading more of your very insightful and informative pieces.
Not on this list, but my total favorite in a long time was the list of all the times the Supreme Court hasn't ruled for the good of the people. Since...like...its existence. That was a real eye opener ( but may have been last week now that I think of it. Still, not going to untype!)
With the two articles on Jews & Palestinians/Muslims, I have learned so much history that clears my cloudy eyes of the true measure of what's going on, and what's BEEN going on for so long. We need people to see with CLEAR eyes, so that the fighting, the blockades, the genocide (and I hate putting labels on things, b/c then people just recoil) can be understood, and justice for both people can be evaluated and worked on.
I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to support all victims, Jewish and Palestinian, of the present conflict. You mentioned wife's project: could you share trusted ways to donate or other means of participating in a peaceful solution?

Thank you! And even that list is a snapshot. Sadly there are countless more atrocious similar rulings.
Well-earned and well-deserved. Massive congrats!
Thank you my friend!

Thank you. Yes here’s the org she’s donating to. I’ve worked with humanity first for more than two decades. They are providing aid directly on the ground in Rafah. I link it at the bottom of this article https://qasimrashid.substack.com/p/does-a-red-line-for-rafah-even-exist
