Don't be blinded by the light, focused where they want us to look. Learn to see in the dark.

This is almost a year old now. If anything, it's even more true now. We are culpable.

Some extracts:
… is there any moral value to all this witnessing? Is it enough that we weep …
… compassion is an unstable emotion: “It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.”
Hope is a choice we make when we refuse to be desensitised to the suffering of others.
The grief we feel is shot through with shame at what we have failed to stop.
… what are we to think about who we are as Australians?
Amid the impossible grief, the monumental failures and gaslighting by political leaders, we must be led by the strength and moral compass of Palestinians.
