Zoreena's daughter walked 11 days, then gave birth ALONE in no man's land. This is the horrific reality for women fleeing persecution genocide in 2017. Her story is one of countless struggles the Rohingya faced. This is just one example of the Rohingya's plight.

“To hope is to risk frustration,” wrote Thomas Merton. “Therefore, make up your mind to risk frustration.” This quote came to mind reading Nicholas Kristof on hope. Hope can make us healthier, happier, resilient — and more effective. Good to practice hope. nytimes.com/2024/05/09/opi…

It’s one thing to criticize the ICC or continue to reject it, but to threaten the court and its staff in defense of Israel is outlandish and disgusting.
