"In each of our lives, there are dates that don’t just pass by like strangers, but stand tall to tell a story of resilience. Today, my younger sister, Noha, blows out the candle on her thirteenth birthday cake, but it’s not just another candle added to her age; it’s a declaration of life’s triumph over the rubble, and a smile that has overcome the bitterness of loss."

Noha... The 13th Candle That Defeated the Darkness of War

In each of our lives, there are dates that don’t just pass by like strangers, but stand tall to tell a story of resilience.

⚠Satire Alert⚠ "The most principled man in UK politics, Wes Streeting, has demanded a policy that he opposed when Jeremy Corbyn was Labour leader. 2018 was a fun time because everyone knew the fairest way to heal the Brexit divide was to have a customs union with the EU. Unfortunately, no one could support this position because it was Jeremy Corbyn’s policy. We therefore did the most principled thing we could: we opposed the policy we believed in."

Pascal Lottaz sent a letter of support for Jacques Baud and Nathalie Yamb following the EU sanctions to Switzerland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Foreign Affairs. "Dear Federal Councillor Cassis, Dear Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, I take the liberty of sending you the following open letter on behalf of more than 300 Swiss citizens from the fields of diplomacy, academia, journalism, politics, and other concerned individuals. We urgently ask you to intervene in every appropriate manner on behalf of our fellow citizens Mr. Jacques Baud and Ms. Nathalie Yamb, and to protest in the strongest possible terms against their sanctioning by the European Union. The inclusion of the two individuals on an EU sanctions list is a politically motivated act of repression and is in no way compatible with the fundamental human right to freedom of expression, as provided for in Article 19 of the Charter of the United Nations. Although both individuals have the right to seek a review of the legality of these measures before the European Court of Justice, the sanctions have immediate and severe effects on their fundamental freedoms. This constitutes a case of administrative punishment without a court ruling. There is well-founded concern that further sanctions of this kind against unwelcome opinions held by Swiss citizens will follow. This act can only be challenged at the political level, and we ask you to do so. We need you and the strength of your Department of Foreign Affairs. With the highest respect, Dr. Pascal Lottaz" 📄.pdf

I sent an open letter of support to the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs to call on them to help two fellow Swiss citizens and oppose EU repressions.

"What if the very agency sworn to protect America’s most vulnerable children became the largest legally protected kidnapping network in the country? For decades, Child Protective Services was sold to the public as a shield for abused and neglected kids. Today, it operates like a ruthless quota-driven machine: incentivised by federal funding under the Adoption and Safe Families Act, empowered by near-unlimited authority, and shielded by secrecy and immunity. Good intentions still exist in pockets, but those pockets have become the perfect camouflage for a system that now destroys far more families than it saves."
