Quote by Helga Tawil-Souri

“Gaza may force us to glimpse into the heart of darkness, but it equally reveals the heart of humanity that never gives up. Gaza is not a footnote, it is the later than life shadow of the colonizer's fear: captivating, awesome, mythical, mesmerizing, extraordinary, impressive, monumental, unreal, burdensome, miraculous, and most of all, durable. Gaza is our obligation.”

“Legacy media is nothing but a scam and a gun for hire that spreads misinformation trying to manipulate people for big corporates. Legacy Media is trying so hard to scare people. It is trying every day to instill fear, but people are no longer buying it because of social media. They know what is happening. Corporates profit from people’s fear. They pay the legacy media to scare people, then they introduce a product that users can buy to help with their fear. Big businesses use legacy media to create a need for their products and to sell it.”

“Most of us choose to be In denial because lies are much more comforting than the truth. The truth cost us to be accountable ,responsible  and we are obliged to do what is right. While with lies we have someone to blame. We can play being victims and continue doing what is wrong knowing someone will take the blame or fall for it. We shift the blame and goal post. We can be hypocrites and have double standards.  We choose to fool others and at the end, we end up fooling ourselves.”
