De Rook van Gaza Stijgt, en de Wereld Kijkt Toe

De grenzen van Gaza zijn gesloten. Voedselvoorraden slinken. Elke dag wordt de honger nijpender, een stille moordenaar die zich verspreidt onder een belegerd volk. Wat niet binnenkomt, zal onvermijdelijk leiden tot massale hongersnood—en dat onder het toeziend oog van de wereld.

We keken toe. En we deden niets.

Achtien maanden van bloedbaden, moord, etnische zuivering. Achtien maanden waarin de meedogenloze daders hun doel nastreven: de totale overname van Gaza. Maar laten ze dit goed begrijpen—Gaza is niet te koop. Gaza is geen handelswaar. Gaza is een volk, een geschiedenis, een strijd die niet uitgeroeid kan worden, hoe hard de onderdrukkers het ook proberen.

De vraag is nu: hoe lang blijven we nog toekijken? Hoe lang laten we toe dat onschuldigen verhongeren, sterven onder de bombardementen, worden verdreven van hun land?

Dit is een oproep. Niet alleen om te spreken, maar om te handelen. Want zwijgen is medeplichtigheid.

#currency #money solves a lot of issues like in #trade, #market , valuation of #goods and #services etc.

No doubt there.

But this in contrast to the issues we face which solely exist because we use a #monetarysystem and a single tool like money such as:

-EVERY THING we say we don't have enough money for to address or fix like #climatechange , #famine , #health , #poverty #violence and #crime, #housingcrisis , #energycrisis , #pollution and so on.

-a few #ultrarich who decide for us all, against our will and against our benefit like #trump #musk #thiel etc.

Just saying, while for sure there would be issues to work out if we would stop using money at all like in #startrek, the negatives clearly outweighs the positives of money don't they?

I'd have no issue collecting trash in the city once a week because it's required for us as a #community.
The longer I have to think about #cash being a human creation with a fantasy value and thus just a illusion we all agree with,

“More than half of the world’s 25 most climate-vulnerable countries are affected by armed conflict, violence or high levels of humanitarian need, according to think-tank ODI Global, which is supporting the network…

Yet funding for these countries falls seriously short, amid real and perceived risks associated with working in unstable settings”

One million people died while a further 1.25 million emigrated. Some regions of Ireland were disproportionally affected, among them Skibbereen, which lost over a third of its people to disease, starvation and emigration.
