Poltics generally makes me angry, often makes me furious, and occasionally makes me cry.
The latest events in Gaza fell under all three categories. The announcement from The Lancet- one of, if not the, premier medical journals- made me cry. The admission from an objective, intelligent, and highly respected group (emphasis on objective) that the occupation is WRONG, the people suffering undeniable abuses, and the world needs to stop looking the other way.
The link.
Similar emotions today at the announcement that President Obama signed onto the UN Human Rights Council.
The pursuit of justice is the ultimate act of kindness, and I've already shared how deeply and violently acts of kindness move me.
If I could clap with all my body for The Lancet's admirable stance, I would be still worlds away from expressing my gratitude.
