just picked up a copy of “Bowling Alone.” feel more inspired to actually read it now! Marianne do you think there’s any valid & positive reason for the individual-focus in our society? I agree about need for community but the old structures very much relied on conformity, no?

Release Ahmad Manasra..His solitary confinement and crule, violent and inhuman treatment under very severe conditions is a violation of the human and prisoners rights and is an unjust, crule and a terrorist act. #FreeAhmadManasra

Ahmad has suffered for 7 years behind bars, convicted of a crime he did not commit. After his mental health began to deteriorate, the Israeli occupation forces put him in solitary confinement. Ahmad has been in solitary since November 2021. Ahmad is very ill. #FreeAhmadManasra

Ahmad Manasra who since the age of 13 has been in Israeli detention. Below is a reminder of what he has had to endure. It is also a reminder to all those who would shield Israel from international scrutiny & accountability. #FreeAhmadManasra

After brutal arrest & interrogation, Ahmad has spent his 14th, 15th,16th,17th,18th,19th,20th&21th birthday in jail, like any other day since he was 13. Despite his deteriorating mental health, he remains in solitary confinement. #FreeAhmadManasra
