Contemplating a bewildering world through empathy and understanding
The emergence of a powerful rebellion in Western counterculture is evident, as artists like Bob Vylan challenge oppressive governments and promote support for Palestine, reigniting meaningful protest reminiscent of the Vietnam War era.
Reflections on my personal journey of understanding Israel's history and the Palestinian plight, emphasizing the need to confront historical narratives while recognizing Israel's role as the aggressor in ongoing violence.
As genocide unfolds in Gaza, more prominent individuals are voicing criticism of Israel, revealing hypocrisy among previous apologists as they confront uncomfortable truths about war crimes and their complicity.
... I am afraid that education is conceived more in terms of indoctrination by most school officials than in terms of enlightenment. My own belief is that education must be subversive if it is to be meaningful. By this I mean that it must challenge all the things we take for granted, examine all accepted assumptions, tamper with every sacred cow, and instill a desire to question and doubt. Without this the mere instruction to memorise data is empty. The attempt to enforce conventional mediocrity on the young is criminal.
