Israel’s threat to withhold registration from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and other international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organizations from providing services in Gaza and the West Bank—which is in breach of Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law.

Denying medical assistance to civilians is unacceptable under any circumstance, and it is appalling to use humanitarian aid as a tool of policy or collective punishment. Now is the time for action: Israel is escalating its grave attack on the humanitarian response in Gaza and the West Bank, directly threatening medical care and humanitarian aid for civilians.

What an incredible, low-budget night last night! We saw the Orchid Quartet at Immanuel Presbyterian Church last night. They played Queen and Abba. I was able to fit into one of my 20 year old evening dresses, grabbed a small bottle of Irish cream to sip on in the parking a lot with my hubby, and we immersed ourselves in one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. And though it was the night that the Dodgers won the World Series, some wonderful, brilliant genius yelled out, "we won the World Series!" and everybody erupted in cheers. And this was RIGHT BEFORE they were getting ready to play We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. We all sang along, and I got so choked up. There is not enough love in my heart for this beautiful amazing town! I love L.A.!! AND I love The Orchid Quartet! You HAVE to check out one of their shows! This had to be one of my most magical nights this year!

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

For the record, Columbus never set foot on the soil that we now call America. If you want to learn more about why we honor the indigenous people of this country, I highly recommend An Indigenous People's History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.
