The Palestinian poet and author Mosab Abu Toha, who fled Gaza in December after being detained by the Israeli military, is releasing his second book of poetry, Forest of Noise, next week. We speak to him one year into Israel’s relentless slaughter in his home of the Gaza Strip as he notes,

“It is really devastating to think that after a year, the world is still thinking about October 7 only, rather than about the years and decades before October 7 and the many and long, long days and weeks that followed October 7.”

Abu Toha also pays tribute to his former student, Hatem al-Zaaneen, who was recently killed while collecting firewood for his family, and shares the status of his own surviving family members in Gaza, who have been displaced once again as they seek safety from unrelenting Israeli bombardment.

I remember Biden saying something about his “Red Line” (correct me if I’m wrong, a lot has happened…). Though when and where is his so called Red Line?

The red line is taking any action against Israel, other than mild words to go along with the weapon deliveries.

I think they gave up on that idea after it took everyone ike 5 seconds to write out laundry list of jokes about the nonexistent red line or even just any line in general.

My favorite was Blinken saying something like we are 10 yards from the end zone for a ceasfire, and someone said he was 10 yards away from his own goal lol.
