War is big business.The people I met in Sarajevo and others working for peace amid wars are living proof that love is a powerful human force. Like a strong river, it cannot be contained 👉🏼https://open.substack.com/pub/shadaislam/p/in-a-time-of-monsters-i-felt-safe?r=7ham&utm_medium=ios

"Debates are becoming more muted as equality experts & activists learn to be silent on questions like Gaza and the illegal US & Israeli attack on Iran for fear of losing their access to much-needed EU funding. It is, as one participant says, the new Brussels effect”. euobserver.com/208146/the-n...

Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sánchez has condemned the US–Israeli strikes on Iran and criticised the clerical regime in Tehran. Once upon a time, such a balanced, well-articulated position would have represented the European mainstream. No longer. open.substack.com/pub/shadaisl...
