"On one side of the world the US and Israel are pursuing an ill-conceived attack on Iran that has hugely impacted the flow of fossil fuel in the region. This is already having a grim impact on daily life in many nations, jacking up the price of oil and gasoline, and threatening the availability of fossil-fuel-based fertilizer for spring planting."

Verhalen over buren met ruggengraat moeten verteld blijven worden, ook na 40 jaar. Om waakzaam te blijven en als voorbeeld. Opdat we “de moed hebben om voor elkaar op te staan, juist in de afwezigheid van de ander.” Een prachtige column en Eid-wens van Naeeda Aurangzeb in @Trouw:
