| Antisemitism at work: a poster about the kidnapped Israeli hostages has been destroyed. The anti-Jewish sentiments on campuses all over the country are terrifying. The building in the photo on the University of Michigan campus was also designed by Albert Kahn. |

I haven’t seen a White Castle in years.
ReplyDeleteThe situation in the Middle East is terribly upsetting.
Mae,
ReplyDeleteI like sushi but somehow it never really fills me up. I always want something else with it. Your lunch does look good.
Now, thank you for including the photo reminding the world that innocent children have taken from their families and are still being held hostage by these uncivilized barbarians who cut off the heads of babies and burned others alive. How can people forget in 4 weeks? How can any civilized human being sympathize with Hamas. Seeing that beautiful child in the photo breaks my heart.
All of these supporters of Hamas, coming out of the woodwork everywhere, seem to conveniently forget that this whole war was started by Hamas going into Israel and committing atrocities beyond human comprehension. It is tragic that innocent Palestinian civilians are being killed in this conflict but war is never pretty. My fear is that there will never be peace in this region. How much longer till the next outbreak?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comment... now, I visit your blog with great interest. And agree. We are sad about cruel war around the World.
ReplyDeleteWhat can we do? Yes, we can be friendly to our next, I believe.

Oh Mae, I hate it that people would tear down that poster of that poor kid. It just hurts. It's horrible and it feels worse every day. I'm sorry the hate is coming here.
ReplyDeleteYour ride through Detroit looks like a good day.Did you have a White Castle?
Ann Arbor seems a pretty town. Love seeing the pics.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your trip through Detroit. Did you know the first White Castle was in Wichita, KS?
ReplyDeleteSorry about the state of affairs in Israel and Gaza. The tragedy has taken over our cities, too. Seems no one is safe, anymore.
