@Zia_Chishti_71 Good luck, it will all depend on what you've learnt about the people that once surrounded you, and how you shuffle things around. I saw it up close and personal, you have to identify and recognize your blind spot, we all have it and you do too.
In 2019, MIT professor Patrick Winston gave a legendary 1-hour lecture called “How to Speak.”

@Zia_Chishti_71 Litmus test for anyone considering investing in a country. If businesses and entrepreneurs can not get speedy and just dispute resolution, the country/state/city is uninvestible.
We’re calling on US Ambassador Mike Huckabee—a Christian leader—to visit Taybeh, listen to local priests, and press Israel to protect its vulnerable Christian communities.

‘What more evidence do we need?’
Labour’s @AndyMcDonaldMP is ‘sick and tired’ of frontbenchers not having a view on ‘genocide and apartheid happening under our noses’.
Declaration of Conscience
My name is Gordon Dimmack. I am a journalist and a citizen of the UK. On Monday morning, I will walk into a police station and peacefully hand myself in.
Why? Because I support Palestine Action, and I have encouraged others to do the same.
Under the Terrorism Act, that now carries a potential 14-year prison sentence. Not for harming anyone. Not for inciting violence. But for supporting people who oppose genocide, and encouraging others to do so.
That is the state of this country in 2025.
I will not plead ignorance. I know the law. I know the risk. And I am making this decision with full awareness that the state may try to make an example of me.
Let them.
Because if we now live in a country where saying “I oppose genocide” is treated as a criminal act —
if peaceful solidarity with those who resist arms dealers is now considered terrorism —
then the problem isn’t me.
The problem is the law. The problem is the state.
The problem is the moral vacuum swallowing this country whole.
This is not just about Palestine Action.
This is about freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, and the criminalisation of moral clarity.
If they want to arrest me for standing on the side of humanity, they are welcome to.
But let the record show:
I will never apologise for doing the right thing.
Let history remember that I stood up.
And let it remember every name, every badge number, every uniform that tried to silence those who dared to say: Not in my name.
I oppose genocide.
I support Palestine Action.
And if that makes me a criminal — then so be it.
