Today I was supposed to interview Wissam Hamada, the honorable mother of Hind Rajab. But we were unable to make it happen because she had to flee an attempt by the Israeli military on her life.

And now that "The Voice of Hind Rajab" by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania is going live, the threats on her life will increase.

Do not be silent on this genocide. Raise your voice. Be on the right side of history.

Just a reminder of what ‘civilized’ democracies do when under threat from within…

Huge amounts of Southern Europe and North Africa are on fire, killing people, destroying property causing evacuations and breathing difficulties.

We didn't act to cut emissions when warned about this 30 years ago. Imagine how much worse it will be in another 10, 20, 30 without action.

We are not here by mere accident.
