Manifestaciones contra Israel en Gaza

It has been amazing to see the number of banners I have seen listing different manifestations that are to take place here in various Spanish cities against the US support of Israel and against the war on Gaza as a whole. Solidarity definitely is present. Tonight there was a rally at 7:30 in Jaén, Jaén. That happily surprised me to find out about such action occurring in Jaén... many people tend to regard the city as one without much action, one without much spirit. It is, and must be, evident that we must stop living in our individual worlds and begin living in the world's reality.

I'm happy with this news. I understand that, surely, both sides of the conflict have a reason to be upset with each other, but Israel has gone a little bonkers, and of course, they have so much soft power politically, here in the U.S., that our society has to sugar-coat our criticisms of their attacks on Gaza.

That was a very long sentence.

Also, I miss you.
