We’re Not “Saving” Palestine – Palestine Is Saving Us

I’ve had it wrong all those years.

And not just the colonial / white feminist language for which I apologise.

I’ve had an epiphany recently that came to me in very simple language. It reminded me who is sheltering (“saving”) the humanity of whom.

It also confirms whose humanity – of those who do have the knowledge, of those who actually do have the privilege of having access to information – might have gone out.

This is the first time when my podcast episode comes directly from my video. Please choose the format that’s more accessible to you.

And as always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

❤️💔❤️

Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think

The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters.
