Harrowing is the perfect word. But I look at the world around me and wonder if anyone else is noticing. Barely a person I know speaks about it. That's harrowing too.
It should not surprise me to see the majority choose the easy path namely to look away and accept the status quo, having observed it first hand in apartheid South Africa. But it sickens me that the communities around us including friends and family - lack the fortitude to resist, to speak out against what they know is not only morally wrong, but will ultimately harm them and their communities too. Every day since Oct 7 has been harrowing. But people like you Veronica are a beacon of hope. Thank you for sharing this.
Did you know the Egypt coach took the Palestine flag onto the field after their win over the Socceroos? “I’m saying to them: I’m dedicating this victory to the Egyptian people and Palestinian people, those kind and honourable people.” AFAICT, no Aust media outside SBS covered this, but Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, AJ did. Can't be an oversight. Don't mention the war, even if the soccer participants do!
