There's a man I met 6 years ago.
I thought that we might be the same age.
I often drive past his shop and I would see him outside on his phone.
Two years ago I stopped seeing him.

Until I realised the old man sitting there was him.

His hair had turned completely white.

He's Pa|estinian.

I just walked past him today on my way from the dentist and stopped for a chat.

Me: Marhaba.
Him: Marhaba. How are you my friend?
Me: 🤷🏼‍♀️
How about you?
Him: Alive.
Me: This is very good news.
I'm also alive.
Him: You know, we come from the hottest place in the world. We are so lucky to not be there. And to be alive.
Me: I'm so sorry.
Him: Yes I know.
Me: Is your family in G♡za?
Him: No Nablus.
Me: Tell me...how long have your family been in Nablus?
Him: How long??
Me: Yes. I'm writing something about the olive trees in Pa|estine.
Him: Oh. I can't even count how many generations. More than 2000 years.
But now...now it's being taken away. The Israe|i government is pushing us to Jordan. 2000 years...and now...
(His words evaporate)
Me: It's still your land. The empire will fall.
Him: You think?
Me: Yes. It will go down.
(He says an Arabic saying about everything that goes up has to come down)
Him: The mountains go up...but they then go down.
Me: YES!
Him: Even a bird has to land.
Me: Exactly.
Him: Like the gold. It was up and now it's down.
Me: Gold?
Him: Yes. It was $5600 per ounce. Now it's $4700. We lost 7.6 trillion dollars.
Me: Trillion?
Him: Gone. Because of Trump. It lasted 48 hours at the top. Then went down.
Me: Everything will go down.
Him: Yes.
Me: In our lifetime we will see a free
Pa|estine.
Him: Maybe you. I'm too old. I have not slept a full night for more than two years.
Me: It's so hard.
Him: Too hard.
Me: We need to stay strong and speak up.
Him: I'm tired.
Me: I'll speak for you.
Him: Who will listen?
Me: People are listening.
(I show him my post from last week that has 1.4 million views on instagram)
Him: Wow!! They are listening to you.
Me: Yes.
Him: Please don't stop. Please keep telling people about Pa|estine.
Me: I won't stop.
Him: Thank you my sister.

If you often become emotionally dysregulated (anxiety, depression, etc), it is highly likely that you were not attuned to by your primary caregivers. The way your brain develops the neural structures for affect regulation is by being attuned to when you are young. This is why healing requires that you begin to attune to your own internal emotional experience.

May you be well. May you treat yourself and others with grace, compassion and kindness.

Strap in viewers because this one's LOTR 💍

So now Anthony Albanese is supposed to step down because he’s “done nothing” about antisemitism. Nothing? Oh really?

This is always my favourite part. People who haven’t read a single policy document, funding announcement, or law amendment suddenly become moral auditors screaming “resign” like it’s some kind of cleansing ritual.

And yes, Benjamin Netanyahu is on record blaming Anthony Albanese directly in the wake of the Bondi attack.

Netanyahu accused the Australian Prime Minister of failing to act and explicitly linked that alleged failure to the violence, saying:

> “Your government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia. You took no action. You let the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today.”
— Benjamin Netanyahu, as reported by Reuters

Now let’s be crystal clear, because this is where people deliberately blur lines.

Criticising Benjamin Netanyahu, his government, or Zionist political projects is not antisemitism.
It is not anti-Judaism.
It is not hatred of Jewish people.

Antisemitism is hatred or discrimination against Jews because they are Jewish.

Political criticism of a state, its leaders, or its military conduct is different. Full stop. Yes, anti-Zionism can be abused as a cover for antisemitism, but that does not mean every criticism of Israel or Netanyahu magically becomes racist by default.

And if Netanyahu wants to point fingers at an Australian Prime Minister, he might want to pause and notice where the other three fingers are pointing.

Because Netanyahu himself is wanted by the International Criminal Court. The ICC has issued arrest warrants relating to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

If anyone wants to talk about moral responsibility, they should probably start there.

And if people want historical context, the modern roots of this conflict didn’t start on October 7. They trace back to the 1947 UN Partition Plan and the occupation that began in 1967, which the UN itself continues to describe as an ongoing occupation under international law.

Now for the frothing Hansonites & Zionists calling for Albo's head:

What the Albanese Government has actually done to combat antisemitism 👇

1) Appointed Australia’s first Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism

PM announcement:

2) Published the Special Envoy’s Plan and Government response

https://www.pm.gov.au/media/government-response-special-envoys-plan-combat-antisemitism

3) Tens of millions in security funding for Jewish schools and synagogues

October 2023 funding:

December 2024 funding:

4) AFP and ASIO special operation targeting antisemitic threats

https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/afp-establishes-special-operation-availte

5) Banned N**i symbols and extremist hate symbolism

https://www.ag.gov.au/crime/terrorist-organisations-and-hate-symbols

6) Strengthened federal hate-crime laws

https://www.ag.gov.au/legal-system/new-hate-crime-laws

7) Antisemitism Education Taskforce

https://www.education.gov.au/news/antisemitism-education-taskforce

8) Holocaust education funding

https://www.education.gov.au/news/support-holocaust-education

📍The bottom line📍

You can criticise Albanese.
You can debate policy effectiveness.
You can argue implementation.

But saying “he did nothing” is demonstrably false.

Security funding.
Police operations.
New laws.
Education reform.
A national envoy.
A published plan.

And when Netanyahu accuses Australia’s PM while himself facing international war-crimes charges, people are allowed to say: hold on, let’s talk about hypocrisy.

That’s not antisemitism.
That’s accountability.

Australia...we need to take a moment.

Let's look back to Christchurch 2019 when the unthinkable happened.

51 people were ki||ed.

And 89 were injured.

While worshipping at a m0sque.

I assume all were Mus|im, but I'm not sure.

At the time, Jacinda Ardern was Prime Minister. And it's her response I want to focus on.

Because instead of amplifying division & man-made subcultures, she addressed people's humanity.

And despite the grief & shock, thanks to the grace shown by the Mus|im community, Kiwis reached out to eachother instead of weaponising their trauma.

I found it a bit strange when a mural was painted here in Brunswick not long after showing Jacinda hugging a woman. After all, she was the PM of New Zealand. Not Australia.

I happened to be walking past the day it was completed and snapped a few photos of the drone capturing the full image.

It was definitely a heart-warming moment and such a gentle vibe compared with what we normally associate with politicians.

When I look at it now, I feel it's a gift. It shows what leadership can look like when we choose to walk on the path of humanity instead of division 👣
