Disaster Control

NYT video about the Palomares nuclear accident over Spain in 1966.

A US h-bomber was refueling in mid-air over Southern Spain. Both exploded and four h-bombs fell onto a small Spanish beach town (2 into the Mediterranean). This film examines health consequences to the clean up crew.

I was expecting the whole medical community will stand for Gaza, most especially for our fellow medical workers there.

But I guess, I expected too much.. ☹️

We get a statement like this from @DoctorsWithoutBorders yet, a lot of medical associations are awfully quiet.

Watermelons emerged as a symbol of #Palestinian liberation after the 6 Day War in 1967 when #Israel banned the public display of the Palestinian flag 🇵🇸 in those territories.

#CeasefireNow #gaza

peterjriley2024, 7 months ago to random

Saturday 11th November (the 11th of the 11th ) #Armistice - #ceasefire - the Israeli newspaper #Haaretz published an article in 2019 noting that alongside Jewish volunteers, 12,000 Palestinians enlisted in the British armed forces during WW2.
They were abandoned and forgotten by Britain after they went home once the war was over. Their descendants (in #Gaza & West Bank) are now under blockade and bombardment and the British Government thinks it is “offensive” to call for the violence to stop.

Every time I hear someone talk about how #capitalism can solve problems, all I can think about is "fun size" candy. And how it used to be about a 3rd of a full size chocolate bar, and now it's close to half that. It's like a speck of candy wrapped in a ton of plastic.

And it's because they don't have to put the number of grams on the individual packages, so candy companies shrink them year after year.

A fun size Whoppers used be a little bag of them. Like 6-10. Now it's 2. 2 Whoppers. 😭
