Australian Palestine Action Network and more

By Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh  Posted by Peter Barus (about the submitter)   1 comment, In Series: Reports from Palestine

Dear all: Having amazing conversations in the past few days. I spoke to Rotary Clubs about humanitarian work, to the Parks Victoria experts about managing our protected areas under occupation, to a group of environmental NGOs and associations about our collective struggles to save our planet, to more university encampments, to highschools, to indigenous people gathering, to churches, to the Institute for Postcolonial Studies, and many more. Diverse audiences with diverse subjects (but still related to sustainable human and natural communities). Now I am at the Australia Palestine Action Network second national convention where I spoke in the opening Panel and then ran a workshop on environmental justice. I am really inspired by all the thousands of people I met and all the actions happening throughout this land (land stolen from aboriginal people and never ceded). I am also inspired by the Palestinains in diaspora/exile and all people of conscience who work hard to keep Palestine alive.

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)

Dr. Qumsiyeh is a scientist focused on the restoration of our home planet. Genocide is Ecocide, the ultimate planetary self-destruction.

Just as the brutal repression of normal, peaceful student protest encampments are a microcosm of the genocidal Zionist destruction of Palestine (including "Israel", which is insanely trying to sequester all the water for Israeli use while contaminating the entire land with heavy metals), Dr. Qumsiyeh demonstrates positive ways of being-in-the-world that are central to all the Abrahamic religions.

The tide appears to be turning. As to whether this is merely another pendulum-swing of human folly, or a real shift that may indicate a substantive change to our species trajectory, we may never know.

In un-knowing, our responsibility for stewardship of this life-raft in the trackless Cosmos is clear. All wars are both micro and macro level species-terminal.

Scale is hard for humans to discern. Now it has come time to choose, anyway.
