Palestinians mourn relatives killed in an Israeli strike on a UN-run school in the Nusseirat refugee camp, outside a hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza, on June 6.
TO quote one person I’ve had the dubious honour of hearing speak, we now live in a world of “simultaneity”. If you don’t know, this means that the global situation we find ourselves in is one of everything, everywhere, all at once. It’s a jumbled-up jungle out there with so much going on that we don’t know where to look, what to think, and what to do.
It’s understandable if we ordinary people find everything so confusing these days. The climate is weird being either too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry; genocides and displacements of people are happening everywhere with seemingly no end in sight; elections (where they actually happen) are throwing up the worst kinds of people; and nobody seems to be able to truly tackle the age-old issues of poverty, hunger, disease and inequality of every kind.
