A man with a copy of Socialist Worker during Saturday's march in solidarity with Palestine and in memory of the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh.
"واحتج الآلاف في لندن على مقتل الصحفية شيرين أبو عاقلة "زهرة فلسطين
On Saturday 14 May, thousands assembled in London, both to commemorate the Nakba and also to protest the murder by the Israeli Army of the veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh ("the daughter of Palestine"), while she was covering one of many recent raids by the Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday 11 May, against the West Bank town of Jenin.
SHIREEN ABU AKLEH'S MURDER
"And if they ask you about Palestine, tell them:
In it there is a martyr,
nursed by a martyr,
photographed by a martyr,
sent off by a martyr,
and prayed for by a martyr"
( Mahmoud Darwish)
Initially, Israeli authorities insisted that she had been killed by Palestinian gunmen, but on the ground examination of the video used to support this claim by the leading Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem, clearly demonstrated that it was taken far from the location where Shireen had been shot dead in the face, despite the fact that she was wearing a flack jacket and helmet, both clearkly marked 'Press.' Other Journalists who were present at the scene also testified that it was Israeli soldiers who fired the lethal shots, and that there was no clash as was first claimed, a claim which was also echoed by the mainstream media in Britain and the United States.
Her murder came just days after the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the International Federation of Journalists had filed an official complaint at the Hague against Israel for 'the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,' with an estimate of fifty having been killed in the last twenty years according to PJS records.
Palestinian anger mounted on Friday 13 May, when Israeli police attacked the mourners in East Jerusalem with batons as they exited St. Joseph's Hospital with the coffin on the way to a local church. Al Jazeera's live video coverage and the testimony of witnesses all seemed to indicate that the attack was entirely unprovoked, with no evidence of 'stone throwing' as suggested by Israeli authorities.
Even had there been any such incident, the police action was entirely disproportionate, with the Palestine flag ripped from her coffin, which was momentarily dropped as the police attacked even the pallbearers. As the assault was broadcast live around the world, it seemed to be yet further evidence of the complete impunity Israel believes it has, due to the almost unconditional support it receives from the United States, Britain and other Western nations. Diplomatic statements of concern are the most severe sanction the West ever imposes.
In a pathetic response to a question raised in parliament, Amanda Milling, Minister of State for Asia and the Middle East, explained that she had 'publicly expressed my sadness upon hearing the news of the tragic death of veteran Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, and called for a thorough investigation... The safety of journalists across the globe is vital and they must be protected when carrying out their critical work.' It seems Israel will once again escape any meaningful consequence for its actions.
However, it's not just that the United Kingdom turns a blind eye to Israeli violence - it also actively supports it.
Israeli pilots are routinely invited to the UK to train alongside the RAF, while the British and Israeli navies also routinely engage in joint exercises, all at a time when Israel's air force regularly attacks civilian infrastructure in Gaza (including Al Jazeera's offices in May 2021) killing 64 civilians since 2010 and when Israel's navy operates to blockade Gaza, where as a consequence one third of essential drugs are unavailable, 54% of the population are food insecure and 95% of the population have no access to safe drinking water.

COMMEMORATION OF THE NAKBA
Palestine solidarity demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba are held annually in London, usually on the Saturday before Nakba Day (15 May), the commemoration of the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes by Israel, which accelerated following the declaration of establishment of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948.
Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion had informed his political and military colleagues that an Israeli state in which Jews made up only 60 per cent of the population was not viable. As Israeli historian Ilan Pappe points out, the obvious implication was that "the fewer Palestinians in a Jewish state the better."
www.versobooks.com/blogs/3809-the-nakba-and-the-ethnic-cl...
The Nakba had already started as early as November 1947 as British forces. which controlled the Palestine mandate, withdrew to the Port of Haifa leaving Jewish paramilitary groups to control the remaining areas. By May 1948 300,000 Arab residents of the areas within Palestine designated to become Israel had already been expelled, including many Arab residents Jaffa, Safad, Beisan, Acre and Western Jerusalem. That amounted to nearly two out of every five Arabs living on what would be Israel's side of the demarcation line. Most of the remainder were forced out of their homes in the subsequent months.
Israel's military ethnically cleansed some 530 Palestinian towns and villages, destroying almost all the mosques and many of the houses and committing appalling crimes against those Palestinians who had chosen to remain despite the threat of violence. It is estimated that some 15,000 Palestinians were murdered.

Recycling and waste sector employees have been granted 'key worker' status by the government recognising the key role of recycling and waste operatives. This means they will continue to receive educational and care provision for their children during the coronavirus crisis.
Ashleigh and her colleague pass me in their waste collection vehicle about 7 am each morning. They empty the 3 different recycling bins all along the coastal path. Both always have their protective masks and gloves on, even when they're driving.

Once Upon a time with in a world were Magic and Since stood at odds one nation joined them and forged a way for them to work together. And from this Forging powerful Golems, and new lines of weapons tools and much more. This Wooker was a one of the earliest Product of the to two powers coming together. Its power systems could run longer than oil or steam powered machines and with magic powering it gave the Golems low forms of Intelligence.
At the end of days for the Ancient world a grate war over the Star forge a Machine so power that it would allow the User to recreate the world and all of the stars in there Image... but in doing so would kill all that lived before and starting over from nothing. It was in this Bloody War of the world that the Nation had found a way to place the souls of their fallen solders in to the Golems. This gave the Nation of power a edge for it could use its solders even after their bodies had died something the Nations using just magic or just Since could not do. Although they had the Edge in the war the there way to many other Nations at war not only with them but with each other for all wanted the Star Forge if not to use than to safe guard. And here is were this world had ended for the land had fallen to ruin and only ash or fires stood in place of food and crops. But this ways not what had done the people of the world in. it was the finely battle win the bombs and magic killed off both sides leaving nothing or all most nothing to remain.
Now the old world is only a ghost with in the new world that was built form its ruins and as the new people scrap parts of the old world they can still hear the cries of the ghost that had come before 4000 years before them. Its said win you find a Golem he might have the soul of the old world with in it or it might be empty waiting for power and to serve its new master.
I am sorry about going the character Info on the Golem and not Julian but I feel its better to do his at the end of the story if he lives to get there ^_^

Le Concerie di Fez, o Chouara, con il loro odore pungente, le enormi vasche di pietra piene di pigmento e le pelli stese ad asciugare una dietro l’altra, sono famose in tutto il mondo. Qui sono impiegati tutt’oggi i processi utilizzati nel XVI secolo, quando Fez si è imposta come leader nella loro produzione, per trattare le pelli di mucca, cammello, pecora e capra.
Art by Léon Frédéric (1856-1940) seen at the Musée d'Orsay. This 1895 triptych titled "The Ages of the Worker" or "Les âges de l'ouvrier" With women mothering on the right, struggling workers laboring on the left and the the children caught in the middle with not a smile on a single face, makes for quite a social statement.
The artist has another compelling social statement that can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art called The Three Sisters. I've posted a photo of that work with the text "Léon Frédéric (August 26, 1856 – January 27, 1940) was a Belgian Symbolism painter. During the 1890’s his paintings of improvised workers and peasants were celebrated for forthrightness and arresting intensity. In this painting the humdrum activity of peeling potatoes seem to clash with bright red dresses but the downcast eyes and facial expressions match the activity." The young girls peeling potatoes in that painting tie in with the girl in the red dress grasping a loaf of bread in this triptych.
My brief description of "The Ages of the Worker" doesn't come anywhere near capturing the emotion of this social statement, so I'll copy and paste the English translation of the Musée d'Orsay page on this triptych.
"Throughout his career, the Brussels symbolist painter Léon Frédéric has inscribed his work in the great Flemish Baroque tradition. He does not hesitate to resort to the old arrangement in the form of a triptych, and to fill each of his shutters with an abundant and powerfully expressive crowd in his gestures as well as in his attitudes. So it is with the three strands united under the name The ages of the worker which stages dozens of characters. The left panel favors the representation of men and works of strength; The panel on the right, that of women in their maternal functions. In the middle, from childhood to youth, parade those who leave the school, the workshop or the building site.
Counterpoint of this human tide which is directed towards the spectator, In the center of the picture, towards the background moves away the funeral convoy which evokes the inevitable epilogue of all existence. The presence of red flags around the hearse inscribes this last tribute in line with the social demands of the late nineteenth century, which was supported by some of the contemporary creators.
The drawing, exacerbated by the use of an argentine light that glides over the forms and defines them clearly, reinforces the impression of animation and saturation of the space wanted by the painter.

The city of Mysore, in the Southern State of Karnataka, is a major incense production center exporting worldwide. A single worker makes thousands of incense sticks a day, but their working conditions are tough. They (mostly women) have to work long hours in very poorly lit rooms, and the repetitious nature of the work and exposure to chemicals for scenting the dipped incense sticks often causes postural, locomotive system and skin problems.

These guys were shot in a totally industrial environment. No pretty backdrop, no fancy elinchrom light boxes, they didn't want to be "pretty little lilies". They hope you appreciate their tenacity and strength, and mostly their desire to walk there own chosen path.
A pair of CSX track workers labor away on the diamonds at Blue Island as Q004 bears down on them. It seems CSX has loosened their safety procedures regarding men on the tracks and approaching trains and there are stories from down south about 2 welders who were struck and killed by a train. Luckily, these men made it home, but it was certainly nerve-racking to watch trains come around the corner while they were still working.
