So go figure. Byzantine antiquities found in Gaza. Gaza as in the Gaza that continually gets pounded by Israel? Yes...that Gaza. One Palestinian farmer name of Salman al-Nabahin, was clearing his land in preparation for the planting of trees. Yes Palestinian farmers do routine and regular stuff like farmers the world over. So Mr. al-Nabahin uncovers a Byzantine era mosaic floor that had been buried years and years ago and now this mosaic floor is seeing the light of day courtesy of Mr. Salman al-Nabahin. It's almost ironic that this Byzantine era mosaic floor hasn't been blasted to little tiny pieces by Israeli military dropping bombs and then Israeli tank shelling that is run of the mill for Gaza on an almost daily basis of bloodletting simply because Gaza is Gaza and filled with Palestinians and Israel finds Palestinians on par with how Nazis treated Jews way back in World War II the really big one. Now that is the truly ironic aspect of this little slice of daily Palestinian life. The complete news account of Mr. Salman al-Nabahin's discovery can be found on CNN. Every once in a while CNN reports on a news story that actually portrays Palestinians as regular if not normal people going about their business all the while paying close attention to the skies over Gaza and the next blitzkrieg by Israel. Life as an Israeli military punching bag for keepers. Those Israelis are a really fun bunch no doubt. Sure...sure. Now for some Thursday machine art and with any luck, we'll not have to put up with random Israeli bombing runs. Not here and not now anyway.

even with all the Israeli brutality that Palestinians must put up with, they still manage to live life as life should be lived. life shouldn't have to be lived under constant harassment. well and Israeli inspired death...😖
