In some quarters in the US there's a hateful stereotype that everyone in Gaza is a terrorist supporter, and perhaps that makes it easier to excuse the bombing of entire neighborhoods. In Gaza, @OmarHamadD found a destroyed house with my book about empowering women worldwide, "Half the Sky" (written with Sheryl @WuDunn). It's an English-language book that must have belonged to a sensitive and tolerant soul, for it is a passionate call for gender equality and blunt about gender challenges in some of the Muslim world. I don't know what happened to the people living in the house or if they survived, but I'm sick at the thought that my tax dollars supported the destruction and perhaps killing of this reader of mine.

Article 13 of the Third Geneva Convention explicitly protects prisoners of war from being subjected to "humiliation, insults, and public curiosity", which would include being forced to wear the national flag of their captor in a "release ceremony" as an act of political exploitation.

I'll post some photographs from a recent trip to #Casablanca, Morocco (my first time there since 1970). For starters, the #Amazigh (or Berber) language is now used in official capacities. One example: The Administrative Court building.
