@RememberUsAlways A discussion can't be logical, when it is based on false narratives...

This is closer to "the truth":
#Genocide vs. #Genocide
#Army vs. #Militias
#ForeignSupport vs. #ForeignSupport
#InstrumentalisationOfTheShoah vs. #InstrumentalisationOfColonialism
#Walls vs. #Tunnels
#Expulsion vs. #SuicideAttacks
#Hate vs. #Hate
#Racism vs. #AntiSemitism
#MilitarySuperiority vs #TemporalSuperiority
#Systemic vs. #Systemic

The powerful and power-hungry against the civilian population – on both sides.
#DesireForPeace vs #DesireForPeace
#Israelis AND #Palestinians

We must base the discussion on a logical and at least approximately historically accurate foundation that breaks out of the usual antagonism and cannot be monopolised by one side.
We must stand on the side of the people, not the states or their leaders!

The impacts of fossil fuel emissions are gnawing on Australia's coastline

"Australia's exposure to current and future risks from the sea, including coastal erosion, king tides and rising sea levels, was "very high", The Insurance Council of Australia.

"Sea level rise caused by climate change would mean the issue was not going away, and Australians needed to consider what we valued about our coastline."

"Why a seawall might not protect both beaches and homes from coastal erosion...We'll end up with a giant wall around our beaches, or around our whole coastline. That's not saving the landscape, that's saving the infrastructure. We've got to slow down development and look at what we value about the beach."

Professor Kennedy "said governments would need to consider buying back beachfront land and rehabilitating it, to protect both infrastructure and the beach."

Woe, said the mouse, why do I see walls now? Is there no other way to break up an expanse that is too wide? Do they have to be walls? Walls are incredibly ambivalent. I have read up on them. Walls can mean protection, security and orientation. But what about exclusion, deprivation of freedom and isolation? Is ambivalence the solution to my problems? Or is ambivalence my problem? And then where is the solution?
