We have such a huge narrative battle. So many people are being taken in and honest reporting is under attack.
The people on the streets protesting Israel's genocide and reckless military behaviour give me hope, as do people posting on line. And the success of the BDS movement, and people wearing keffiyehs.
"One short day when a small group of Westerners ‘just like us’ were visited with a tiny taste of the kind of terror and brutality our vicious civilisation has visited upon the rest of the world for over 600 years. And as the West gathers together to mourn the events of that one short day tomorrow the bombs will continue to drop on Gaza and on Lebanon and on Syria and the kind of terror that was felt on October 7 will be felt day after day after day by other human beings. Real living, breathing human beings, human beings who love their wives, their husbands, their children. Human beings with hopes and dreams and lives they look forward to living. Human beings who deserve to live in peace, who deserve to be happy."
Thank you for sharing this Josh - it resonated very deeply with me. I think I too am meant to be a keening woman … I channel it through my writing but perhaps I need to let it out vocally too. As do all those of us who feel this intense grief for the world right now …
