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.

An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See

This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
