Unbelievable : Have you heard of #Hamas' chemical #WMDs…?

Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Sky News (UK) that Israel has found an “official Al-Qaeda material” to produce chemical weapons on the body of a Hamas fighter.

The printed out book cover with big English font is, in fact, a readily available e-book not containing any instructions on how to make chemical weapons: it is the amateur biography of Al-Qaeda's Kuwait-born Ramzi Yousef and his role in the 1993 attack on the #WTC.

#Faith and Vengeance: the Islamic State's War in Afghanistan

Had life worked out slightly differently, then, #Khorasani might have turned into exactly the kind of #Muslim that #America professed to want at the forefront of its quest to remake post-9/11 #Afghanistan in its own democratic, progressive image: intelligent and hardworking; devout but not extreme; a partner of the #West. No one is quite sure why, or when, he chose a different #future for himself, but in 2015, Khorasani gave an inflammatory speech against the Afghan government to students at his local mosque. Soon afterward he left home to join the #IslamicState of #Khorasan Province (ISKP).

I'm going to share something I couldn't for many, many years.... some of the poems/odes written by children who watched the planes hit, from their schoolyard. The cries of anguish and appeals to G-d, thanks to first responders, hopes for a better future...

It's Not OK

Well, I still won't re-read or look long at this, as today I find myself familiarly numb, feeling only a dull recognition and some tears in my eyes for no "apparent" reason. I guess just the date and coverage is just one big trigger.... Don't look if it's a painful trigger.

Yes, well, 9/11, 20 years on.
I was in lower Manhattan that day.

I lost friends. I was traumatized like everyone, and tried to help as I could, not easy with a mostly-shut-down brain and surrounded by chaos, confusion and tragedy.

I thought I'd avoided over-dosing on all the news of events, speeches, memorials, etc. Twenty years. And at the stroke of 9/11/21 I received this, from the sister of a friend killed that day.

For the historical (and emotional) record -
From the sister of my friend, Steve Jacobson, a hero many times over, who perished at the top of the WTC, 9/11/01 -

Hope everyone is doing well.

It doesn't seem like 20 years has gone by since the 9/11 attacks on our country but it has. To me, it seems like yesterday. We all remember where we were when it happened and couldn't believe what we were seeing on tv.

My heart sinks every time I hear about our brave servicemen being severely injured or dying, many of whom signed up right after the attack. Now each time I hear that any first responder is afflicted with some health issue related to the attacks or has died from a 9/11 related cancer, etc., I cry. You see, 9/11 doesn't go away.

Never forget.
