We've a tendencyto underestimate the possibility of disaster & believe that life will continue as normal, even in the face of significant threats or crises.

Think how often you hear about people who lost their lives bc -refused to leave before a natural disaster wreaked havoc -falsely assumed-safer at home *believed warnings overstated.

We're suffering from a failure of imagination—to think ahead about what could happen & respond accordingly.

I'm not giving up on these people.
I will #NeverStopTalkingAboutPalestine.
I don't give a flying fuck if some mouthpiece accuses me of #anti-semitsm because I know that I am on the right side.
I don't want to have a "balanced debate".
I seriously don't give a damn about "special relationships" .
And that "#Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East" argument? If that's #democracy, then it's high time we all redefine it.
It is #Genocide.
They muder babies.

FYI #voting #democracy It is important to know this kind of stuff. I know it can be boring / tedious / bureaucratic but our right to vote was won on our mothers and fathers blood sweat and tears, quite literally to the point of death.
