It is really hard to know what to say... the response of giving claps and leaving a comment feels absolutely rediculous.

I am sending a monthly amount including whatever pennies from medium earnings to UNRA as of this month, but it feels that no matter what we do as individuals, caught in the fangs of the fascism of a delusional civilisation, it is wholly inadequate.

In relation to the mind boggling amount being spent to destroy Gaza and its entire infrastructure, what can the donations of individuals achieve?

Those of us with a working conscience are feeling utterly helpless. Perhaps all we can do is assert our resistance , like our forebears throwing their puny spears at the monster dinosaurs looking for their dinner amongst our midst.

The billionaires are now rampaging through Gaza, the Congo, Sudan, all across the Global South, but soon enough we witnesses to their atrocities sitting in the West, will all be their fodder as the Sixth Mass Extinction takes hold.
