My brain is as confused as someone waiting for something awful to arrive and not knowing what's coming. I can't make sense of anything or why we're not more alarmed. Jump, run, scream, yell, panic! For the love of humanity, just fkn do something!!
Excellent analogy and observation of human behaviour. It seems that some of us instinctively react to potential danger (the head master at the Nepalese school who cleared all 900 students to higher ground without even knowing the full extent of the danger - the school building was obliterated soon after) while others are either in denial or just simply don’t have the same instinct to react.
The question is how to wake up these others to the same sense of urgency. It’s been 3 years ! 😢
A perfect ananlgy. I "enjoyed" the longer post, as in, it was good to have more of your thoughts. Those of us who truly appreciate what you are doing welcome the challenge. You are so right, it's barrelling towards us and so few are paying attention.
I think it is a really good analogy. You could also include in it the use of AI videos (I will never understand the people who make those) as an analogy for “it is all the fault of the Palestians” and the like.
There is so much ruin, and devastation, and loss, and overwhelm, and I am so far removed from it all, and I can't even process what it must be like to be inside the circle of pain
Very good analogy, and a timely reminder that something that seems innocuous to people further downstream can turn into something devastating in a very short amount of time. I would very much like to read longer pieces about this topic and hear more about the upcoming conference.
I feel the rising tide of Zionism here in Australia so strongly, it is deeply disturbing- the farcical Royal Commission, our own Mossad Minns here in NSW, the invitation to Herzog, and now the IDF marathon runners, the secret meeting between Herzog and ASIO, all wrapped in a nice neat package of pro-Israel media, and silencing of Palestinian voices
I have been to protests where I can and written many letters
Thank you for posting about this. All eyes on Nepal right now. Days ago, I was absolutely clueless about this event its extent but the more I read, the more it became clear to me that all of us should be talking about it.

I hope you will write more about this upcoming conference in Sydney. I've not read about it anywhere. Please keep us informed. 🕊

Yes, please wrote more about this. And thank you for all that you are explaining

a very appropriate analogy Veronica - I often think what will it take for supporters of Israel to wake up?
Love the analogy you have used.
No Veronica, not too long, not too long at all! Please do write more on this.
Longer writing puts more ‘meat on the bones’!!!! Our brains and hearts need to keep working and engaging!!!!
Sadly I don’t know many who want to notice ‘the rising tide’ ….
Go well beautiful woman

Here’s my piece if you’re curious and have the time. It covers the extent of the glacier, What the experts are saying about global warming, The people and their stories that stood out, Diplomatic tensions with China and how we can help https://arshiyaarora.substack.com/p/nepal-and-how-climate-change-caused?r=3pcwen&utm_medium=ios
It is an apt comparison.
About the CAM not combatting, I disagree.
They are fighting, fighting very hard.
They are not fighting antisemitism indeed, they are fighting us, our society.
