Opinion | A Slow-Motion Gaza as We Destroy Planet Earth | Common Dreams

A Palestinian resident walks amid near the rubble of buildings after Israeli bombings in Gaza

Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away . . . .
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
No more turning away? (Pink Floyd)

In the process of watching Gaza burn, it would be good to remember that we’re also turning the whole planet into a Gazan-style catastrophe. It’s just happening in relative slow motion.
