Tragically, it’s not an exaggeration to say that we need all hands on deck if we want to preserve this planet and everyone on it.
Have you seen who the ones in power are? How much would you bet that they care about humanity?
As Iran and Lebanon are being destroyed, in addition to the daily murders in Gaza and the daily terrorism in the West Bank, you should have zero doubts that your antiwar voice matters.
Because what we’re up against is a well-oiled (no pun intended) war propaganda machine that not everyone is still immune to. We have to see how blatant it is, how uniform, how predictable (and then, how destructive).
In this short episode, I invite you to amplify the voices that deconstruct it, and see how important it is to BE that voice yourself.
Also, in case you’ve missed it, it was World Water Day this weekend. My message on it was and is very simple:
You’ve got to love this world.
You’ve got to love its rivers.
You’ve got to love its oceans.
You’ve got to love its lakes.
You’ve got to love its people.
You’ve got to love its children — and to want them protected 💔
This can’t be more urgent: we have to stop the war machine and invest in life-affirming policies, including those needed to mitigate and adapt to what the UN is already calling ‘water bankruptcy’.
Here’s my own short video to celebrate it and to remind our government of what they should invest in.
The love for this planet is exactly what Abby Martin, one of my favourite journalists, talks about in an interview I can’t recommend highly enough.
Watch a short clip from it here. Remember why to raise our antiwar voices is as important as ever before ❤️

How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself.
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.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
