#humanitarians — Public Fediverse posts

At hospital. My Uncle was very happy to get a big serving of my homemade wor wonton soup. Talking to him about my idea to create a Saigon War Baby Survivor/AntiWar hat & shirt to wear when in public to raise more community awareness about war survivor Asian diaspora, who are now living on Vancouver Island/BC/Canada. To help initiate random conversations in/around the community that I live in, to help more non-immigrant/non-refugees here, to understand why we have a lot of Asian diaspora in Canada. Our lived South East Asian war survivor lived experiences can help us educate more people, willing to learn from survivors & who support our commitments to #AntiWar.

I am sending help to Roula in Gaza.
Her daughter is ill and has no access to medical care; the situation could become serious at any moment.

Please, I ask that we help create at least a small sense of certainty through donations to cover basic necessities.

Queremos hacer llegar dinero y recurso de manera directa a los palestinos en Gaza, sin embargo, como muchos ya saben, el bloqueo ha hecho casi imposible entregar contado y recursos a #Gaza. Una manera que si se puede es conseguir #eSims para personas allá. "

Got up early to draw hot bath for Mom.
I'm having morning tea & going to start watching the #documentary film, Where the Oilve Tree Weeps, now.

You can donate to view it. There is also a free option for folks who are financially strapped.

[ Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the #Palestinian people under #Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.

We follow, among others, Palestinian #journalist and #therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots #activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer #TraumaHealing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.

Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic human rights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives.

This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty? ]

1967: The War on #Vietnam Heats Up — Along With Public Opinion.

According to a 1979 essay by #political scientists Peter Sperlich and William Lunch, “1967 was the year of the hawk.” Indeed, most Americans preferred escalation — likely because they thought doing so would expedite the conflict's end. Meanwhile, preference for withdrawal fell.

Prominent #CivilRights leaders and #activists would come out against the US war on #Vietnam as the decade wore on. In 1967, #MartinLutherKingJr. told the Harlem Riverside Church congregation that:

“It would be very inconsistent for me to teach and preach nonviolence in this situation and then applaud violence when thousands of thousands of people, both adults and children, are being maimed and mutilated and many killed in this way.”

Fewer than two weeks later, King would lead a 125,000-person #protest against the war.
