It's difficult to see Fascism on the rise. It's difficult to see people - from country leaders to "regular" people - justify and advocate for mass murder.
My head is exploding when the complete flattening of Gaza by an occupying force is presented as anything else than what history, international law, and basic human decency in the end require: an extermination of a people. In broad daylight.
That heaviness is real, but this is where we have to do our best for it not to bring us into despair.
In my episode, I remind myself and you, my kind and interested listener, that it's been done before.
We can learn from each other, we can get inspired, and we can continue going.
I'll leave you with my last reminder shared recently by CODEPINK, the organisation - and my previous workplace! - that I mention in my episode.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

I've removed the option to support my work from this post. Instead, I invite you to contribute to my fundraiser to translate Where Olive Trees Weep to Lithuanian (my native language), so it's available for broader audiences at home.
