"Wearing a Star of David necklace or a yarmulke today feels exactly the same to me as hanging a rainbow flag or sporting a Pride pin. Both are acts of resilience and expressions of identity in the face of adversity. They send a clear message: We are stronger than you think and we are not going anywhere." - Rachael Fried, Executive Director of JQY

Happy Pride, y'all. Pride is officially the month of June, but in truth it's all year long. We may celebrate it in different ways, but it's all tied to the freedom to live our lives openly and honestly. So be who you are for your priiiiiiiide! And if you don't know, here's the video: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsJZM

The path to spiritual enlightenment is through two powerful practices: Firstly, foster the courage to embrace diverse ideas, navigate complexity, and welcome a spectrum of opinions. This is key in resolving disagreements within a balanced context. On the other side, exhibit courage by rejecting neutrality in the face of injustice. Make decisive value judgments, take a stand against bullying, abuse, or oppression, and recognise the harm caused by unequal power dynamics. Remember the profound words of Desmond Tutu: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Healing requires integrity, and integrity thrives in our interconnected global community. 🌍 "In the beyond, all things touch" 🌍 #healing #justice #integrity #spirituality #humanrights #Spiritualenlightenment #peace

Natasha Hausdorff takes apart Mehdi Hasan. And she does it so well: Mehdi seems to think that he can redefine anti-Zionism without you noticing...who has the right to define Zionism? Would you ask a misogynist to define misogyny? You wouldn't ask the KKK to define anti-Black racism, so why when it comes to the Jews would you let the anti-Zionists define anti-Zionism? https://lnkd.in/dz28cmZm

Wow, what a powerful statement about our differences, and how we can protect or care for each other even when we are different, demonstrated in the wild. Great video!

A retired old guy who loves people and is happy to share my (FREE) advice, mistakes, valuable career and life lessons, good and bad experience, wisdom - and some funny stuff, too. Please FOLLOW and CONNECT WITH ME.
**WARNING - HUMOR AND SARCASM** Today, there is a plethora of poltroons, scallywags, knaves, rapscallions, fleecers, mountebanks and scoundrels (look those words up yourself) in our culture. So, I propose #DUELING as the only way to restore honor and provide a common sense solution to quickly and effectively overcome deadlocks, differences, obtuse attitudes and a flawed legal system 😉 BUT - there would have to be RULES. Which are strictly enforced. As described in this article. And we would have to level the playing field by allowing both men and women to engage with one another. We want to be fair and avoid sexism, right? https://lnkd.in/gMyDdhQY NOTE: before you respond angrily, understand that this would ONLY be legal, permissible and encouraged for the ultra-wealthy, tyrants, high-level leadership and plutocrats. But I repeat myself... There is already too much violence among the common people. The reasons for which are explained in the following paragraphs. While this may seem like a loss of sensibilities and a return to crude violence, it could restore a bit of honor to society as a whole - beginning at the very top. The credible threat of being challenged to a duel might cause a person to pause before engaging in ANY illegal, unethical or manipulative behavior or activities. And, it might 'thin the ranks' of those who cause and profit from many of the problems which plague the rest of us. That would have little or no down-side. 😏 And then again, we could just enforce the laws, uphold and obey the Constitution, stop the pettifoggery and do what we should be doing. TOO SIMPLE?

Last week, Dr. Amir Al-Azraki (CLS) published an article in The Conversation that discusses how anti-Black racism in the Arab world is sustained, in part, by white fragility. The term white fragility refers to the defensive reactions and discomfort exhibited by white people when discussing race and racism. This fragility hinders meaningful dialogue and perpetuates systems of oppression. Not all facets of white fragility seamlessly translate into the modern Arab cultural landscape, but echoes of its influence resonate and shed light on the multifaceted nature of anti-Black racism in the Arab world. Within the Arab context, white fragility reinforces and maintains racist views of Black people, thereby perpetuating anti-Black racism and preserving existing power inequities. As such, tackling the nuances of whiteness and its associated fragility is essential in addressing and dismantling racial hierarchies within Arab societies.
