Suspicious me thinks?

Maybe.

Then again, maybe not?

“While we remain outraged at how callously Starbucks handled these closures, we are proud that we have forced the company to make this process fairer for impacted union baristas,” said Starbucks Workers United spokesperson Michelle Eisen. “These measures to support baristas show the power and strength of our union. We remain focused on organizing stores and demanding Starbucks settle a fair union contract that improves hours and staffing, increases take-home pay, and resolves unfair labor practices.” 

While it's true that yelling about it is all Israel has left - from a propaganda point of view ...

... they are still the bullies of the region thanks to the West.

 

Looking out this morning...

... With a somewhat uncertain feeling.

In so many ways, this is what I see and feel -

Bright lights.

Dark of twilight.

And not much else.

What 'recognition' from the West really means.

This recognition does not restore our homeland—it erases it. It sustains and legalizes the theft of Palestine, declaring Jewish supremacy victorious atop the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and over a million who have been imprisoned for resisting the Zionist colonial regime since 1948. It offers unconditional self-determination to Zionists settlers but conditional self-determination to the Palestinians and our school books. This humiliation deprives us from our political agency without putting any condition on Israel.

A legend and a reminder - in this country, if you are not white or 'right', take nothing for granted. 

Time to reflect on things at Game Farm Park.

Hmm ... maybe this is something we should all be doing?
