A Very Short History of the Israel–Palestine Conflict by Ilan Pappé

Book 71 of 100

Rated: 4 stars

Dates Read: June 1-3, 2025


"We Should be careful to differentiate Christian Zionism from Jewish Zionism." - Ilan Pappe

For being such a short book, there is a lot of information packed into it. Two words that stood out to me while reading are "Ethnic Cleansing." They are words that are repeated thought the book because it is part of what happened between Israel and Palestine. Especially since history likes to repeat itself.

  An Indigenous' Peoples History Of The United States   by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Book 13 of 52 Rated: 4 stars Dates Read: January 25th thru 30, 2025 "They did not settle a virgin land.

Since January I have been working on and off on knitting a blanket. Currently I am on try number 5 for this blanket and hopefully I will be able to finish it with the pattern that I am using for it. Tries 1 thru 4 involved knitting it with a couple different patterns and trying to crochet it. I only tried crocheting because I was bored one morning and didn't know what to do so I decided to teach myself, by watching you-tube videos, but it ended up not working out. So now I am back to kitting the blanket again. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my past attempts but I did take pictures of the yarn being done into balls. My brothers were very helpful and willing in the winding endeavor. Look the end is in sight! the finished balls This is currently what the blanket looks like right now, and hopefully it will stay that way.

When I originally started writing this post in my head there was more than I wanted to say about doing the challenge, which it was some weeks, but now I don't remember what it was that I was going to say, which was going to be a lot more than this, but that's beside the point.
