What unimaginable heartbreak for Palestine's Ambassador to UK

. How many more tragedies must the Palestinian people endure before the UK government decides to do the right thing and tell Israel to stop the killing?

@BenAveling @zleap That may prove true. I see no point in waiting for it to be proved. There is no social benefit to NOT disclosing the fake, and a myriad of benefits to disclosing it.

I used to follow a lot of teachers who talked about enlightenment and spiritual practice, and it's insane how many of them now have nothing to say about Gaza, or are outright siding with Israel.
It's like, what the hell was the point of all that inner work if it leads you to tacitly or explicitly endorse an active genocide? What good are all your insights and realizations if all they do is make you feel nice inside and don't translate to any positive effects on the world outside your own skull? Who gives a fuck if you've had some shift in consciousness and some kundalini fireworks if you're still a dogshit human being contributing to the disease and dysfunction of your species?
If your spirituality doesn't lead to positive changes in yourself and your surroundings, it's just glorified masturbation. If you've thrown yourself into self-realization and nondual awakening for decades at this point and you can't even stand up against genocide and ethnic cleansing, then you've wasted your life on worthless endeavors. You may as well have been throwing yourself into internet porn escapism or a nice wholesome opiate habit this whole time.
