Dear Khodayar, the world is witnessing a genocide and this has had a great effect on me. America and Israel are attacking three countries at once and killing thousands of people. This can't help but make me think of you. The more the world tries to tear us apart the more necessary it is for us to cling to each other. Autumn has come here. The clouds look like mashed potato. I wish you and I could find a quiet nook somewhere that catches the afternoon sun, and that we could talk. And if that is impossible, if that is too much to ask, I wish that we could just spend some time near each other. I value your company just as I heed your words. I will always reject "false slogans of humanity" and resist "cruel treatments" being visited upon any person. Khodayar, they are killing children! I am sorry to tell you this - it is so grotesque and horrible. Many people try to pretend this is not the abomination that it most surely is. Dear Khodayar, so many people are turning their back on their sisters and brothers; and in doing so they are abandoning their own humanity. This is a great stain on the world. X
