Remember when Iran used to be called an irrational, unpredictable actor? Well, I invite you to notice any changes when it comes to irrationality, constructed narratives, and how war propaganda looks these days.

On One of The Gravest Crimes against Humanity That Not Every Country Chose to Condemn at The UN
The UN just voted to describe the transatlantic slave trade as ‘the gravest crime against humanity’. Yet not every country, according to its vote, agrees. My commentary is on what the abstentions show.
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.
Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.

It’s been over a year and a half of genocide in Gaza. Despair is real, disgust is real, profound disappointment is real, rage is real. But so are solidarity, resistance, and a community of people who we can call our comrades. In this blog post, I invite you to watch something that will be good for your minds and hearts.
On Syria And Cynicism
Assad’s regime has fallen and there’s an incredibly difficult task ahead for the people of Syria: to rebuild the country. In my episode, I’m inviting you to fight the potential cynicism surrounding this incredible news and not to dehumanise your Syrian friends by telling them what to think and – my goodness – what to feel.
Gaza: When Will You Choose Not to Be a Coloniser?
It is the same indoctrination, the same lens, the same dehumanising rhetoric that is mass murdering people for over five centuries: a colonised mind.
