In these dark times, I think we will always remember who were the voices of peace, hope, and humanity itself.
Today, I want to point to two people who have been doing peace and – in ways direct and indirect – healing work for decades.
Dr. Gabor Maté is a medical doctor, trauma expert, author, and someone whose work and speaking out against injustice I deeply admire.
Dr. Cornel West is a philosopher, political activist, theologist, and someone deeply committed to anti-oppression work.
Not only did this conversation make my day: it did something to my soul.
I hope you, too, listen to it and see your heart expand with hope in humanity.
In one of my previous pieces, I invited you to listen to a speech by Noura Erakat. If you haven’t done it yet, please do.
I also want to share three resources with you that I have created in the last weeks: my videos on the importance of seeking community when things are tough, a reminder that we don’t have to be “perfect people” to do what’s meaningful, and an invitation to ask yourself what you stand for.
I want to leave you with a video I filmed on November 29, which is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

A Must-Watch Interview on Palestinian Armed Resistance and Israel’s Iron Dome
This interview is an absolute must: Jeremy Scahill talks to Senator Ro Khanna about the U.S.’s continuous support for Israel and whether Palestinians, too, have the right to armed resistance. It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime.
On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
