Letters From Zen: A Weekly Self-Care Podcast

Are you trying to stay informed about the Israel-Palestine war? Are you completely out of the loop and feel like you don't know where to start? This episode is not going to be telling you why you should fight for Palestine. I am tired of trying to explain to people why Palestine deserves our attention, our compassion, and our action right now. I am tired of trying to explain why Palestine is at the risk of genocide at the hands of settler colonialism. Instead, this episode will encourage you to stay informed so that you may decide for yourself what is humane and just. Knowledge begets compassion, and compassion begets action. For those of you who want to support Palestine but do not know where to start, this episode will also suggest a few ways you can do your part.

Not sure what it is called, but here are its words: The war will end and the leaders will shake hands, and that old woman will remain waiting for her martyred son, and that girl will wait for her beloved husband, and the children will wait for their heroic father. I do not know who sold the homeland, But I know who paid the price.
