US Has Sent Israel Over 600 Weapons Shipments Since October

The US has delivered over 50,000 tons of military equipment to Israel just over the past 10 months.

https://truthout.org/articles/us-has-sent-israel-over-600-weapons-shipments-since-october/ Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more [...] With no love of God or human rights And all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide

RIP, Shane MacGowan

I want to be haunted by the ghost And now I know I never ever Want to be without you

Wikipedia:

"Haunted" is a 1986 single by The Pogues. It was featured on the Sid and Nancy Soundtrack, the original soundtrack for the movie Sid and Nancy. It reached chart position #42 in the UK. Originally sung by Cait O'Riordan, in 1995 the song was re-recorded as a duet between former Pogues vocalist Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O'Connor for the Two If by Sea/Stolen Hearts soundtrack, this time reaching #30 in the UK.

From 1985, a haunting demo of In Tua Nua's first single, "Take My Hand," written and recorded by a then fifteen-year-old Sinéad O'Connor, after being sent to wander among the abandoned, dying women in the adjoining hospice of a "Magdalene Laundry," as punishment meted out by a nun from the Order of Our Lady of Charity at the Grianán Training Centre, in Drumcondra, where Sinéad was placed for eighteen months during her teens...

Released in 1990, "The Emperor's New Clothes (Hank Shocklee Mix)" as sung by the late and truly great Sinéad O'Connor and remixed by Public Enemy and BOMB SQUAD co-founder, Hank Shocklee

Sinéad O'Connor's performance of "You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart" was a revelation, essential to the experience of watching In the Name of the Father (1993) in the cinema hall and to fully appreciating the film...

This live rendition from 1995 has her transitioning from that song into another great song of hers, "Red Football," an oft-overlooked track that (as with the previously posted "Famine") appears on 1994's under-appreciated Universal Mother

Sinéad O'Connor introduces herself to the US with a performance of "Mandinka," a song inspired by Alex Haley's Roots, and the second single off her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra

This performance aired on The Late Show on 7 September 1988; the official music video is here

And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering And then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding

On "1000 Mirrors," the late, great Sinéad O'Connor graces a powerful track about domestic violence from Asian Dub Foundation's 2003 release, Enemy of the Enemy Over on YouTube, you can find both the official 4:55 audio from the 2022 re-release that's posted here as well as an unofficial copy of the 3:49 music video from 2003 [There's also a video of Badi Assad performing her Brazilian-inflected cover version]

RIP, Sinéad O'Connor, a brilliant artist who remained criminally under-appreciated and misunderstood...

This tune seems a fitting, haunting tribute -- Sinéad O'Connor's interpretation of Trouble Of The World, a song made famous by Mahalia Jackson:

Soon I will be done With the trouble of the world Going home to live with God No more weeping and wailing No more weeping and wailing No more weeping and wailing Going home to live with God
