Twelve important items to browse and share as you see fit to help end the
march of folly to a regional and global war.

ITEM 1: 21st March we celebrate Mothers' Day. For the record this was
founded by Anna Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe as  "Mothers' Day For Peace"
where mothers demanded an end to wars and stop sacrificing people on the
altar of men's racism, greed, and egos. Look it up.  I remember my own
mother who fought for peace and died peacefully last year remembering a
 massacred friend of hers (Hayah Balbisi from Deir Yassin killed April 1948
by terrorist Zionist militias).

ITEM 2: Update on the genocide. 32,000 confirmed civilians murdered in the
genocide on Gaza till now (and thousands more missing under the rubble).
Genocide by US sponsored Israeli junta military both by carpet bombings and
by starvation and thirst. The levels of misery and genocide in Gaza is part
and parcel of colonial tactics to destroy indegineous communities who stand
between the colonizers and their vision of transforming the land to a new

For the last month, I could not get the image of 6-year-old Lebanese girl Amal Dorr off my mind. Amal was killed in an Israeli airstrike on February 21 in South Lebanon along with another victim Khadija Suleiman, 40, whose child was seriously injured. Zaineb was on her was to visit her uncle's house nearby in the city of Majda Zion. This precious little girl is the same age as my granddaughter Zaineb.

Thousands of mourners came from all over Lebanese to attend Zaineb and Khadija's funeral in order to pay respect. Zaineb and Khadija's lives were tragically cut short by savage Israeli airstrikes on that day. Zaineb is the eighth star to light the sky over Lebanon since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood Operation. The other 7 Lebanese martyred children were: Taline and Layan Shour from the village of Ainata, killed on November 5, 2023. Also, Hussein and Amir Mohsen from Sawaneh village, killed on Feb. 14, 2024, and Ghadeer Tarhini and Mahmoud Amer from the town of Nabatieh who were killed on Feb. 13, 2024, according to Mayadeen English, Feb. 2022.

As Bernie Moreno’s gloating victory speech droned on and on like a used car salesman can do, Ohio looked forward to not one significant MAGA race but two, and the US Senate could shift if Sherod Brown were to lose.

It can’t possibly get any worse, but wait until Moreno floods local media with hateful anti-immigration ads. In a 2022 GOP Senate primary which he lost, Moreno spent what he described as the most expensive political ad campaign ever for an Ohio primary.

“They’re changing our nation. Let’s stop them,” Moreno said during the commercials. “Build the wall and make English our official language.”

Demonizing hard working immigrants is MAGA’s only policy – if it can even be called as such. Sticking up for immigrants – as diverse as Franklin County has become – of course will be the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, which once again will call on all people of faith and good conscience to denounce these attacks.

“Immigrants make enormous contributions and keep Ohio industries like agriculture, protein processing, and manufacturing alive,” says Ohio Immigrant Alliance director Lynne Tramonte.
