A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books. So, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.
The head monk says "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.
Hours later, nobody has seen him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books and crying. He asks what's wrong. "The word is 'celebrate'," says the old monk.
******************************************************
Q. What happens when a Buddhist becomes totally absorbed with the computer he is working with?
A. He enters Nerdvana.
******************************************************
Three monks decided to practise meditation together. they sat by the side of a lake and closed their eyes in concentration. Then suddenly, the first one stood up and said, "I forgot my mat." He steeped miraculously onto the water in front of him and walked across the lake to their hut on the other side.
When he returned, the second monk stood up and said, "I forgot to put my other underwear to dry." He too walked calmly across the water and returned the same way. The third monk watched the first two carefully in what he decided must be the test of his own abilities. "Is your learning so superior to mine? I too can match any feat you two can perform," he declared loudly and rushed to the water's edge to walk across it. He promptly fell into the deep water.
Undeterred, the wet monk climbed out of the water and tried again, only to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet again he tried, each time sinking into the water. This went on for some time as the other two monks watched.
After a while, the second monk turned to the first and said, "Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"
**********************************************************
Four monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping.
The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping"
A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping"
A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping."
The fourth monk who was the eldest said: "Mouths are flapping!"

Independent, Objective, Critical, Free THINKERS of the World UNITE!
I would like to point out that I find it amusing to hear people calling Trump supporters a cult. Especially coming from Covidians. I supported the America First policies NOT the person. Ever since Trump well full on Israel, Ukraine first and became a warmonger I stopped supporting him. For those of you who don't know, a cult does not allow a person to think or act outside their parameters. That describes the NWO Commie funded Progressive globalist Democrat and Republican depopulation agenda psychopaths. They are responsible for banning books, banning movies, tearing down statues, rewriting history, censoring information, having their political oppositions bank accounts, business contracts, jobs and social media accounts terminated. Why? Because we don't think like them and we share information they don't want the public to know. No one is allowed to even question their psychopath ideology or they'll be destroyed. They want to send people who don't think like them to reeducation camps. THAT IS WHAT A CULT DOES. A cult forces you to submit to them or suffer the dire consequences if you don't.
KEY PHRASE IS 👉 FORCES YOU TO THINK AND ACT LIKE THEM.👈
.....AND you must like them, speak only positively about them or else get destroyed.
Sharing information is not a cult. Defending your freedoms is not a cult. We were not forced to support Trump. A person has THE FREEDOM to listen and do their own research. Then THE FREEDOM to accept or reject what they heard or read. Pay attention to who is calling Trump supporters a cult. America First Patriots only want to defend ALL OF OUR FREEDOMS regardless of race, creed, or sexual orientation. This is no longer about Democrat and Republican choices. This is about staying free, healthy, and alive. AND FURTHERMORE, I would like to remind everyone that those of you who hate Trump called Trump suporters anti-vaxxers even after Trump encouraged the public to get the covid vaccine when he was preisident. If we were A TRUMP CULT then wouldn't it make sense for Trump supporters to be the first to get the covid vaccine and FORCE OTHERS to get the covid vaccine? INSTEAD, we did the complete opposite and warn all of you NOT TO GET the covid vaccine for your own good. But you mocked us as crazy "conspiracy theorists" and wanted us to lose our jobs and be put in jail because you believed Dr. Faucistein and NWO globalist media that we were endangering the public.
And now many of us America First Patriots are waking up to Israel fleecing Americans by controlling our government at the federal, state, and local level. We are not happy about Trump putting Israel's needs above America's needs. Israel can't survive without American financial support and weapons support and yet Trump seeks to serve Israel above all else. Trump is still supporting Ukraine when we thought he was going to end that war on day one. Ukraine has become another US welfare state like Illuminati Israel. And now Trump is bailing out Argentina to help bail out our US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's good friend Rob Citrone billionaire hedge fund manager who invested heavily in the defunct Argentina junk bond market and equity market. For those of you who don't know, Scott Bessent who President Trump appointed, CHOSE TO BE U.S. Treasury Secretary, "Forbes described Bessent as having been a "protégé" of George Soros."
According to Newsweek 12/12/2024: Bessent's relationship with Soros began in the early 1980s when he joined Soros Fund Management after graduating from Yale University. Known for his sharp analytical skills and strategic thinking, Bessent quickly advanced, becoming an influential part of Soros's team in London.Bessent's role expanded further when he became chief investment officer (CIO) of Soros Fund Management in 2011, overseeing billions in assets and leading the firm's investment strategy. He served as CIO until 2015 when he departed to launch his own hedge fund, Key Square Capital Management, with $2 billion in backing from Soros.
But Trump's not only helping to bail out the billionaire hedge fund managers who are losing their asses in Argentina's sinking economy, Trump is bailing out the President of Argentina who caused Argentina economy to implode with his policies. But wait our anger at President Trump doesn't stop there, Trump announced he is also bailing out Argentina farmers and has agreed TO IMPORT BEEF to America from Argentina farmers.
WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA FIRST? American Patriots are not loyal to President Trump. We are loyal to the best interest of America and Americans. Now I hear Steve Bannon saying Trump is going to win a third term? If Trump continues on this path of screwing America hard after selling us a bunch of lies, Trump's legacy is toast. I mean it already is now that we see him aligned with the deep state globalist we all thought he was fighting for us. (emphasis mine)
Totalitarianism is a political system and a form of government that prohibits opposition political parties, disregards and outlaws the political claims of individual and group opposition to the state, and controls the public sphere and the private sphere of society.

To hell with the parties. I stand with Americans for Americans.
Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
[source: Space and Motion]
Plato: For the greater good.
Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.
Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.
Douglas Adams: Forty-two.
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.
Oliver North: National Security was at stake.
B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will.
Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.
Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken- nature.
Salvador Dali: The Fish.
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.
Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.
Epicurus: For fun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
Johann von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.
David Hume: Out of custom and habit.
Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.
Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?
Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow out of life.
Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.
Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side.
Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.
Blake: To see heaven in a wild fowl.
Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have, you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the Need to resist such a public Display of your own lamentable and incorrigible Ignorance.
Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in town ought never expose one to such barbarous inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the chicken in question.
Kafka: Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.
Swift: It is, of course, inevitable that such a loathsome, filth-ridden and degraded creature as Man should assume to question the actions of one in all respects his superior.
Macbeth: To have turned back were as tedious as to go o'er.
Freud: An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter)
Hamlet: That is not the question.
Donne: It crosseth for thee.
Life's Choices! This Is A Such GREAT Story! ❤
I added the pictures above to this message.
[source: Moytura]
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today.
You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life, choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.
You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower! After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon to be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything.
"Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity."
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
Enjoy each day, each breath and mostly each and every friend.

Every event that is happening has its own humorous side, you just need a sense of humor. No religion has accepted the sense of humor as a quality. I want a sense of humor to be a fundamental quality of a good man, of a moral man, of a religious man. And it does not need much looking; you just try to see it, and everywhere....
Once I was traveling in a bus when I was a student. The bus conductor was in trouble because there were thirty-one passengers and he had money only for thirty tickets. So he was asking, 'Who is the fellow who has not given his money?' Nobody would speak. He said, 'This is strange; now how am I going to find out?'
I said to him, 'Do one thing: tell the driver to stop the bus, and tell the people that unless the person who has not given the money confesses, the bus will not move.'
He said, 'That's right.' The bus was stopped. Everybody looked at each other, now what to do? Nobody knew who the person was...
Finally one man stood up and said, 'Forgive me, I am the person who has not given the money. Here it is.'
The bus conductor asked, 'What is your name?'
He said, 'My name is Achchelal.' Achchelal means 'a good man.'
And I was surprised that out of thirty people, nobody laughed! When he said 'Achchelal' I could not believe it-a 'good man' doing such a thing... and nobody seemed to see the humor in it.
Seriousness has become almost part of our bones and blood. You will have to make some effort to get rid of seriousness, and you will have to be on the lookout-wherever you can find something humorous happening, don't miss the opportunity. Everywhere there are people who are slipping on banana peels-just nobody is looking at them. In fact, it is thought to be ungentlemanly. It is not, because only bananas slip on banana peels.
Laughter needs a great learning, and laughter is a great medicine. It can cure many of your tensions, anxieties, worries; the whole energy can flow into laughter. And there is no need that there should be some occasion, some cause.
In my meditation camps I used to have a laughing meditation: for no reason, people would sit and just start laughing. At first they would feel a little awkward that there was no reason-but when everybody is doing it... they would also start. Soon, everybody was in such a great laughter, people were rolling on the ground. They were laughing at the very fact that so many people were laughing for no reason at all; there was nothing, not even a joke had been told. And it went on like waves.
So there is no harm... even just sitting in your room, close the doors and have one hour of simple laughter. Laugh at yourself. But learn to laugh. Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly. And life is so full of opportunities. You just need the sensitivity. And create chances for other people to laugh. Laughter should be one of the most valued, cherished qualities of human beings-because only man can laugh, no animals are capable of it. Because it is human, it must be of the highest order. To repress it is to destroy a human quality.
HAPPY Sunday Everybody! Don't Worry About A Thing...💖 🎵 'Cause Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right. 🎵
This song always comes on the radio at the very moment I need to hear it. Like clockwork. And I know it's not a coincidence.
Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain, teardrops and laughter, pleasure and pain. Just remember, there was never a cloud that the sun couldn't shine through. Hope you have a great day doing whatever it is that makes you smile. Don't let the enemy steal your joy. Life is good, always. :)
This is where it's at...
May you FEEL INSPIRED right now to feel better! ❤
Look forward to a terrific week ahead.
Yes, I said terrific. Claim it now. :D

ISRAEL: Israel Rejects Criminal Investigation Into IDF Systematically Targeting 7 International Aid Convoy Clearly Marked World Central Kitchen In Gaza AFTER Israel Approved Them To Enter Gaza.
I added the map above to highlight Gaza strip for reference.
I would like to say this cannnot be categorized as "A WAR" when Israel the bombs are one-sided.
I asked Google AI, has israel dropped more bombs compared to hiroshima and nagazaki?
Google AI replied: Yes, in terms of total cumulative explosive tonnage, the conventional weapons dropped by Israel on Gaza have surpassed the explosive yield of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima multiple times over.
The Comparison
The Hiroshima Bomb ("Little Boy"): Dropped by the U.S. in 1945, it had an explosive yield estimated at roughly 15,000 tons (15 kilotons) of TNT equivalent.
Military analysts, human rights groups, and international bodies estimate that Israel has dropped over 70,000 to 85,000+ tons of conventional bombs, missiles, and artillery shells on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
The Ratio: This total explosive force is widely estimated by experts (such as military analysts at the University of Bradford) to be roughly 5 to 6 times the explosive yield of the single atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Key Differences in Impact
Geographic Concentration: While Hiroshima's blast was concentrated in a single instantaneous event over a larger city area (~900 square kilometers), the tonnage in Gaza has been distributed across thousands of separate strikes within a much smaller, densely populated territory (~365 square kilometers) over an extended period.
A nuclear weapon creates a unique combination of an immediate massive thermal blast, shockwave, and lasting radioactive fallout. In contrast, the campaign in Gaza relies on continuous conventional high-explosive ordnance, resulting in widespread structural leveling and a high civilian death toll over time.
I then asked Google AI, isn't israel dropping bombs into a fishbowl?
To which Google AI replied: The "Fishbowl" reality for humanitarian groups, international observers, and critics of Israel’s military campaign, the fishbowl analogy is considered an accurate depiction due to several distinct factors:
No Escape: Gaza is a tightly enclosed, blockaded strip of land roughly 25 miles long and 3 to 7 miles wide. Because the borders are sealed by Israel and Egypt, civilians have no physical way to flee the territory to seek safety abroad.
Extreme Population Density: More than 2 million people are packed into this small enclave. Critics argue that dropping heavy munitions—including 2,000-pound bombs and unguided "dumb bombs"—into one of the most crowded places on Earth makes high civilian casualties structurally inevitable, similar to attacking an enclosed space.
Unprecedented Scale: Military historians note that the sheer volume of explosives dropped on Gaza ranks among the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in history, leaving over late 73,400 dead and destroying a majority of the infrastructure.
FRANCE 24 English published August 20, 2026: Australia 'outraged' over Israel decision to close probe into aid worker killings. Australia's top diplomat Penny Wong on Thursday said relations with Israel were "difficult" after it dropped a probe into the killing of aid worker Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom and her colleagues in Gaza. Australian national Frankcom was among a group of seven World Central Kitchen staff killed in April 2024 when their aid convoy was hit by an Israeli air strike. Their deaths triggered global outrage and a renewed push to ensure the safety of aid workers in Gaza.
Times Now World published August 20, 2026: WATCH: Australia FM Penny BLASTS Israel Over World Central Kitchen Strike.
Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has sharply condemned Israel over the decision not to pursue criminal proceedings over the deaths of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza.
Wong says Australia wants answers, accountability and an explanation for why three strikes hit the humanitarian convoy.
*** THIS IS WHAT ISRAEL SAID IN 2024 ***
NBC News published April 2, 2024: World Central Kitchen suspends Gaza relief after apparent Israeli airstrike kills 7 workers.
The victims, who worked for the program run by famed chef Jose Andres, included one American with dual American-Canadian citizenship. World Central Kitchen said its cars were clearly marked with its logo. Israel's prime minister called it "a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip." NBC News' Raf Sanchez reports.

Israel is not sorry because Zionists believe all Palestinian civilians are Hamas militants. Zionists categorize Palestinian civilians as Hamas so that the world will continue to support Israel's effort to kill off the Palestinian civilian poppulation. But the truth is Zionists believe all Palestinians Christians and Muslims are animals and their enemy and want them dead or moved from Palestinians homeland that Zionist foreigners have been stealing since the early 1900's.
When the Zionist Kabbalist Talmudic Jews were arriving to Palestine on jam packed ships in droves AS REFUGEES in the early 1900's from Eastern Europe mostly Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania they were singing this song:
"Palestine, a land without people for a people without a land."
And yet these Zionist cult psychopaths always say, "Palestine never existed." Did you know Alexander the Great CONQUERED Palestine in 332 BC? Look it up. Jesus Christ was born in Palestine. Israel didn't exist when Jesus Christ walked the earth and Jesus didn't speak Hebrew because the Hebrew language was extinct for hundred of years before he was born.
King Solomon fell from grace for idolatry worshipping other gods so he could have sex with non-Hebrew women. Solomon's son Jeroboam followed in his footsteps and was an idolater too. The Kingdom of Israel split into two Kingdoms in 922 BC because Solomon's son was a wretched leader. 10 tribes took the north as the Kingdom of Israel and Solomon's son ruled over the Kingdom of Judah in the south with the tribe of Benjamin.
Because Kingdoms of Israel and Judah worshipped other gods meaning they were idolaters, the God of Abraham sent the Assyrians to conquer the Kingdom of Israel in 721 BC and God sent the Babyloanians to conquer the Kingdom of Judah in 587 BC.
The modern Illuminati Israel is NOT the Israel of King David. They do not worship the God of Abraham. Israeli Zionist Talmudic Jews practice Kabbalah occult esoteric mystism. They believe their god is both male and female. (emphasis mine)

The Israeli army officer who ordered a drone strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers in Gaza has said he is “not sorry” for the attack.
Colonel Nochi Mendel, who commanded the operation, told Australia’s ABC public broadcaster that he stood by the decision to strike the aid convoy on 1 April 2024.
The seven workers killed included Palestinian, British, Australian, Canadian and Polish nationals. Mendel made the remarks in an interview recorded in October 2025, according to ABC.
“I’m the commander, and I’m the one who gave the order to carry out the operation. I didn’t run away from the situation. I said I gave the order; don’t look for anyone else,” he said.
Mendel said he had not intended to kill the WCK workers, but added: “I’m not sorry for what I did.”
He was removed from his post as chief of staff of the Israeli military’s Nahal infantry brigade after the attack.
The Israeli army said the strike resulted from a series of failures, including breaches of its rules of engagement and standard operating procedures.
No criminal investigation
Earlier this month, however, the Israeli military said it would not open a criminal investigation into the attack.
The decision was condemned by the UK, Canada and Australia.
In a joint statement, the three countries called the decision “shameful”, saying the military had provided no further explanation for its refusal to pursue a criminal investigation.
They said the decision to rule out an investigation on World Humanitarian Day was “particularly egregious”.
“The victims of this incident and their families deserve justice and accountability, and we will continue to seek answers on their behalf,” they said.
In his interview, Mendel blamed what he described as mistakes by WCK and the complexities of operating in Gaza for the deaths.
He claimed there was “an intermingling between the WCK and Hamas operatives” on the night of the strike.
“So the WCK, too - unfortunately, they aren’t really a neutral organisation. Not really an organisation you can say is innocent and completely clean,” he said.
“It had ties to Hamas,” he added.
WCK rejected the allegations as “false and outrageous”.
“This is the latest attempt to shift blame away from the IDF's [Israeli army's] own actions,” a spokesperson told ABC.
“The individual making these slanderous claims has no credibility.
“He was directly involved in the decisions that led to the 1 April strikes and was immediately removed from his post for serious failures and breaches of standard operating procedure.
“We demand truth and justice for our seven colleagues who were killed, through a full, independent investigation into the attack.”

More than two years after the killing of a five-year-old Palestinian child shook the world, the Israeli military has officially admitted to firing on the civilian vehicle she was trapped in and has announced a criminal investigation into the incident, following years of denial and intense international scrutiny.
What happened to Hind Rajab?
On January 29, 2024, Hind Rajab and her family attempted to follow Israeli evacuation orders, fleeing their neighbourhood in Gaza City in a black Kia car driven by her uncle.
Her mother, Wissam Hamada, had been separated from her daughter after leaving the area on foot earlier that fateful day.
As they navigated the perilous streets, Israeli forces unleashed a barrage of more than 300 bullets into the vehicle, instantly killing six of her relatives, including her 15-year-old cousin Layan, who had managed to speak to emergency dispatchers before being fatally shot.
Wounded and surrounded by the bodies of her family, the five-year-old Rajab survived for hours, whispering a desperate final plea over the phone to Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) workers: “I’m so scared… Please come.”
In her harrowing final moments, she also begged her mother over the phone, pleading, “Don’t leave me alone, Mama. I am tired. I am thirsty. And I am wounded.”
Double-tap strike
Palestinian paramedics dispatched a clearly marked ambulance to rescue the sole surviving child, after receiving explicit clearance from COGAT, a branch of the Israeli military.
Despite this coordination, the rescue vehicle was struck by a 120mm tank round, killing the two medics in it instantly.
An exhaustive analysis by the global campaign group Avaaz revealed that approximately three hours passed between the initial shooting of the family and the attack on the ambulance, indicating that Israeli forces had ample time for situational awareness and command decision-making.
Avaaz concluded there is substantial evidence of a deliberate “double-tap” tactic – an initial strike followed by a second attack targeting emergency responders – noting that Israel gave no warning before firing on the medical workers.
Sarah Andrew, legal director of Avaaz, emphasised that the timing and weaponry proved it was a calculated strike, stating, “I am absolutely convinced that this is another case of double tap.”
At about 7:30pm that evening, Rajab died of her injuries, still trapped in the car surrounded by the bodies of her relatives.
Unmasking perpetrators
Israel initially deflected blame, claiming its troops were not in the area and later asserting the 335 bullet holes in the car resulted from a crossfire with Palestinian fighters.
However, an exclusive Al Jazeera documentary titled Ma Khafiya Aatham (Tip of the Iceberg), produced in partnership with the Hind Rajab Foundation, broke the case wide open by revealing new evidence in the killings.
Using satellite imagery and audio analyses conducted alongside the multidisciplinary group Forensic Architecture, the investigation identified several Israeli Merkava tanks directly adjacent to the car, finding zero evidence of any armed exchange.
Building on these findings, the investigation named the “Vampire Empire” company, commanded by Israeli Major Sean Glass, which operates under the 52nd Armoured Battalion led by Colonel Daniel Ella, as directly responsible for the killings and subsequent crime scene tampering.
The overall commander of the tanks present was Lieutenant Colonel Beni Aharon of the 401 Armoured Brigade.
The documentary also highlighted the involvement of dual Israeli-Argentine national Itay Choukirkov, who is facing legal action in Argentina, and self-styled “war influencer” Shimon Zuckerman, whose social media posts provided clear evidence of genocidal intent.
Delayed admission
On May 3, 2025, coinciding with what would have been Hind’s seventh birthday, the Hind Rajab Foundation filed a comprehensive war crimes complaint with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The legal filing specifically targeted Lieutenant Colonel Aharon and paved the way for additional lawsuits against battalion officers in national jurisdictions.
Following this intense international pressure and reviews of 150 incidents of troop conduct, the Israeli military announced a criminal probe into the killing, marking the first time Israel officially acknowledged shooting at the family’s car.
The army claimed its troops fired at an approaching vehicle and cited alleged failures in coordinating the PRCS ambulance’s movement.
Flawed justice
Human rights organisations and the victim’s family have rejected the internal Israeli investigation as offering only an illusion of accountability.
Hind Hamada Rajab, the child’s grandmother, has said she does not trust the investigations nor the Israeli judiciary, demanding an independent international probe into the killing of her granddaughter and her family.
Furthermore, she told The Associated Press news agency by phone that their demand extends beyond Rajab to include justice for all Palestinian children killed during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, asserting that the attack on this civilian vehicle was deliberate.
Meanwhile, Rajab’s mother, Wissam Hamada, continues to travel to several cities globally to speak out about the unimaginable impact of Israel’s war on children, even though she is unable to watch the critically acclaimed Oscar-nominated docudrama about her daughter’s death because hearing Rajab’s voice remains too painful.
Dyab Abou Jahjah, president of the Hind Rajab Foundation, echoed this sentiment, arguing that the system as a whole has always been complicit in Israeli crimes.
“We do not trust the Israeli justice system, not out of an ideological position, but because of the track record,” Abou Jahjah stated.
Supporting this scepticism, Dan Owen, a researcher at the Israeli human rights organisation Yesh Din, noted that only a “tiny percentage” of investigations have resulted in indictments over the past decade, adding that mounting political pressure increases the reluctance of Israeli law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable, even when clear evidence exists.

NEPAL: At 8:37 am Today 8/26, An Avalanche Of Ice And Rock Into The River Caused A Massive Flash Flood That Swallowed Up Towns. Hundreds Missing, 157 Bodies Recovered. NOT Climate Change.
I added the map above to highlight Nepal for reference.
CNN published August 26, 2026: Massive flash flood hits Nepal-China border; dozens dead, hundreds missing. At least 31 people have been killed and hundreds of tourists are missing after a huge flash flood swept through villages in Nepal. Dramatic footage shows a torrent of water hitting at the Nepal-China border. The toll is likely to rise.
Tibet has also been impacted, with Chinese state media warning of “major casualties.” A mudslide hit China’s Gyirong port, where Chinese leader Xi Jinping urged “all-out” search efforts. The quick response of China’s leadership is another sign of the severity of the disaster.
DW published August 26, 2026: Rescue efforts intensify after catastrophic flood hits Nepal and Tibet. Hundreds of tourists and local residents remain unaccounted for after catastrophic flooding struck the Himalayan border region. We ask: What triggered the floods at the Nepal-Tibet border – and could another surge follow?

At 8:37 a.m. local time, shaking in the region was initially reported by US Geological Survey as a 4.4 magnitude earthquake along the Nepal-China border, north of Kathmandu.
Around the same time, an “avalanche” of ice and rock — more like a landslide in this case — tore down a mountainside and into the Lhende Khola River, a tributary of the Bhote Koshi River, which flows from China into Nepal, often through deep gorges.
USGS later clarified that the shaking was not an earthquake, but was rather caused by this exceptionally powerful landslide itself, which registered as the equivalent of a magnitude 5.2 earthquake.
In other words, an earthquake did not cause the landslide. The landslide caused an earthquake.

What caused the deadly landslide?
Nepal's foreign minister earlier said an earthquake was reported on the Tibet-Nepal border shortly before the landslide, suggesting it may have triggered the disaster.
But the United States Geological Survey's latest analysis suggests there was no earthquake, raising questions about what caused the landslide itself.

A wall of mud and rock appeared to collapse into a river on the Himalayan border of Nepal and China’s Tibet on Wednesday, triggering catastrophic flooding on the Nepali side that killed at least 157 people and left hundreds of tourists missing.
In a still-unfolding disaster, verified videos showed dozens of people swept away at the border, with authorities on both sides fearing far higher casualties and massive destruction.
Houses, roads and power projects were swept away in Nepal, while officials in Tibet said they feared “major casualties” with some missing in the county of Gyirong after a mudslide hit a border land crossing.
“It was a huge gush of mud coming straight towards us. As it got closer, it kept rising higher and higher. When I saw it enter our home, I tried to grab my wife’s hand and take her to the terrace. But she was swept away by the mud,” said Keshav Prasad Baral, a 68-year-old survivor, who was being treated at a small hospital.
“Four or five hours later, a helicopter came to rescue me. My wife is still somewhere beneath the mud. She’s gone.”
Another survivor described being saved by clinging to a mango tree as he watched the house where he had been working disappear.
Initial reports suggested that an earthquake in the area could have triggered an avalanche and caused the floods, Nepal’s foreign minister Shisir Khanal told the country’s parliament on Wednesday, local media reported.
The office of Nepal’s prime minister said that 484 tourists were missing, of whom 391 were foreigners and 93 Nepalis.
The missing foreign travellers included more than 100 Indians, three U.S. citizens and 12 British nationals, Nepal’s tourism ministry said. How many local people were also missing was not clear.
The region lies on a popular route to Kailash Manasarovar in Tibet, a site visited annually by hundreds of Hindu pilgrims from India and elsewhere, particularly at this time of year.
China’s state broadcaster said three people were killed and 265 others remain missing in Gyirong, the first casualty figures provided for the Chinese side of the border. It said the toll was still being verified and rescue efforts were ongoing.
South Korea separately said that eight of its nationals working on a hydropower plant were missing.
Experts fear a second flood
Security footage captured on the Chinese side of the Nepal-Tibet border showed many people fleeing before a wall of rock, mud and water destroyed buildings, vehicles and took many lives.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences said there was a 4.4-magnitude quake approximately seven minutes before the time shown on the security footage timestamp.
Locals from the affected areas of Nuwakot and Dhading were seen gathering outside a Nepali army training centre — the base for helicopter rescue operations — seeking information about missing family members.
Police were recording the names of the missing just outside the barracks gate, using mobile phone flashlights as their only source of light as the area remained without electricity due to damaged hydropower infrastructure.
In the affected areas, houses, trees and vehicles were seen submerged or buried in mudslides. Helicopters hovered overhead all day in the area bringing in survivors.
An initial study of Planet Labs satellite imagery indicated that a landslide of ice and rock triggered a debris-laden flood in the Lhende river, about 12 miles northeast of the Nepal-China Rasuwagadhi border crossing, Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said on X.
Rescue helicopters could not land in Nepal’s affected areas of Syapru Besi and Timure in the mountainous district of Rasuwa, with a population of about 50,000, officials said, with the river flowing above its normal course.
Television images showed collapsed homes, floating cars and a metal bridge being washed away, while witnesses told Reuters the waters engulfed entire villages.
“There is devastation everywhere we look,” Tula Bahadur BK, a health worker in Rasuwa, told Reuters. “The settlements next to the river have been completely swept away. Five of my own relatives are missing.”
China’s official Xinhua news agency said the mudslide hit the Gyirong port, cutting roads, communications and power links in the Shigatse region near the border.
The Chinese military has dispatched drones to conduct damage assessments, a statement said, adding it was organising transport aircraft, helicopters and other equipment to be on standby for rescue operations.
A rescuer interviewed by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said they had been trying to establish contact with the Gyirong border port but “so far there haven’t been any results”. All roads leading to the border crossing had been “completely destroyed” after a preliminary inspection with a drone, the rescuer added.
President Xi Jinping urged “all-out” search efforts for the missing as well as stronger monitoring and early warning systems to prevent secondary disasters.
With the deluge of muddy water sweeping down from an estimated nearly 2,000 metres (6,560 feet) above sea level, flood alerts were issued in the populous northern Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which border Nepal and where several rivers flow down the mountains into the plains.
Authorities in Bihar said they had evacuated about 5,000 people from six districts and planned to evacuate a total of 10,000 to 12,000 people.
Police and military were joining in the rescue effort, said Prime Minister Balendra Shah.
“Instructions have been given ... to move the people living in the lower areas to safer places,” he said. “People along the river are advised to exercise extra caution and remain alert.”
From its origins in Tibet, the Bhote Koshi river empties into Nepal’s Trishuli river that eventually flows into India as the Gandak river.
Last year’s Bhote Koshi flood killed nine people, with 24 missing, as it washed away a “Friendship Bridge” linking Nepal and China to disrupt trade and transport for months.
That flood was triggered by the draining of a supraglacial lake in Tibet, a regional climate monitor said.
