This is what happens to someone when they raise their voice against Israeli injustice and racist policies perpetuated against Palestinians. Watch as a Palestinian activist protesting against the appropriation Of Palestinian land brutally attacked by Israeli occupation forces in Masaferr, near Hebron today. It's simply unbelievable how masses of people actually support Israel! Shame on you!!! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Reposted from @khatijasuleman

🇭🇰 Davis Bistro is the newest bistro & cafe to arrive in Central, as part of an extension of 42nd Davis, a brand name established in 2015 in Kennedy Town. From a menu of various cuisines, we dipped our palates into grilled salmon which was a well-executed piece; simple, but soft on the palate with a crispy skin. Meanwhile, the tapsilog was a rarer serving, one Filipino recipe combining deep fried crispy pork belly which was dry but complimented by a tangy dipping sauce; accompanied by delicious garlic rice with a fried egg on top. This was all washed down by a selection beverages, including a recommended raspberry smoothie with a balance of tart and sweetness. All set in a neighborhood decor of red bricks and white furnishings, Davis Bistro is value-focused feat with a menu that caters to the masses; fitting for a casual lunch fix or a boozy night amongst rowdy friends, set in these noisy streets.

Over the past few days I’ve shared my story with the Vatican. I grew up in a half Catholic, half Buddhist household. My father was baptized but two of his sisters, my aunts, are Buddhist monks. I went to both church masses and Buddhist temples, straddling both worlds as a child. At the Vatican I talked about my family’s boat refugee story, what faith means to refugees, the importance of kindness and listening to survivors of sexual violence. Though these subjects are difficult, painful and tough, we discussed the importance of starting a dialogue. I shared the story my uncle who was detained as a prisoner of war after the fall of Saigon. In the re-education camps my uncle was tortured. When he fainted the guards thought he had died. He woke up in the middle of the jungle surrounded by corpses they left behind. Through faith, he says, he found his way back home to Bac Lieu. When my aunt saw him, she thought she was seeing a ghost because she was told he had died. When I left the Vatican they gave me a gift, an ex indumentis (sacred garment) of Cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan who was detained and tortured after the fall of Saigon in a re-education camp for 13 years, 9 in solitary confinement. In prison, he smuggled out messages of hope on scraps of paper to his people. Through faith, they said, he found his way back home.
