Early morning Istanbul. Trump Tower in the distance. In the foreground, a banner hoisted across the intersection to cheers from a small crowd. I was told the banner called for Turkey to send troops to Gaza.
The silence of Western 'free speech and justice warriors' in response to the atrocities against Moslem and Christian minorities in Syria is very telling.
PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP...
Your 7-year-old wakes up exhausted.
Not because he's sick.
Because it's 6AM.
You pour him cereal.
Not because it's healthy.
Because it's quick.
He stares at an iPad.
Not because it's good for him.
Because you need to get ready.
The school calls later:
"He can't focus"
"He can't sit still"
"He needs testing"
The doctor writes a prescription.
Not because your boy is broken.
Because the system is.
The truth?
His brain is FIGHTING:
- Chemical food dyes
- Sugar crashes
- Screen addiction
- Sleep deprivation
- Natural energy
But we medicate the child
Instead of fixing the cause.
Your grandfather's kids:
- Played outside
- Ate real food
- Slept well
- Moved freely
No pills needed.
Modern parenting isn't convenience.
It's warfare. Against your own child.
Give him a chance:
- Clean food
- Real sleep
- Free play
- Natural movement
DON'T give him pills.
The system wants patients.
NATURE MADE WARRIORS.
CHOOSE WISELY...
Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.
Many share Bob Katters views on the Darwin port lease to Landbridge. Rather than raise sovereign risk issues through breaking a deal why not lease the vacant INPEX village to the US Marines. Check.
