Local justice for global justice Striving to fix local injustices will lead to addressing global injustices 1. A Snowball Effect in Civil Society Once a month, a protest takes place across the country, where all communities highlight their grievences. Each protest is theme-based and is led by a community most directly affected. the disabled community, parents and whānau whose children are currently in state care and are being mistreated, survivors of abuse in state care, seniors who built this country, and are now struggling to live, or are told to die, New Zealanders living with painful and rare diseases who are denied access to funded medicines, workers made redundant after mills shut down due to high energy costs, teachers, nurses, doctors, and many others. 1.1. Simple message A simple message to circulate among the protestors and the public: The same system that has inflicted injustice to one group can do it again to anyone. It is o...

Call for accountibility A call to hold the government and security agencies to account for the terrorist attack Summary: With all the anti-terror laws in place, terrorist attacks still happen. The Australian government and the security agencies must be held to account. 1- The cycle of a terrorist attack The tragic incident at Bondi Beach on 15 Dec. occurred during a moment meant for joy and celebration. Yet, as devastating as it is, this tragedy is already following a familiar and unacceptable pattern seen in terrorist attacks across Australia, the UK, the US, France, New Zealand, and beyond, and it risks ending without any accountability from the very authorities tasked with protecting the public. 1.1- As in past incidents, the police response focused solely on eliminating the perpetrators, rather than capturing them alive for a proper investigations to uncover: How they wer...

The civil society can steer the political class
Summary A call to civil society to collaborate in order to steer the political class Summary: Career politicians and some state officials do everything they can to hold on to the benefits and opportunities that come with their best jobs. Civil Society (CS) can leverage this dynamic to get them to work for justice and the country. Without such effort, Career politicians will continue to view CS as fragmented and ineffective groupuscules, They will continue to deceive the public with empty campaign promises, allowing them to secure their positions and benefits for decades, and Oppression and chaos will persist, locally and globally. 1. The Current State of Affairs CS and the public have currently little to no control over the political class. Career politicians routinely ignore the public's demands, purs...

2024/11/13 Political rivalry hurting the country The National and Labour parties have agreed to take politics out of infrastructure. This means that the successive governments delaying and halting projects while promising to start new ones were merely tactics designed to deny the previous government any credit and intentionally undermine its initiatives. This approach should extend to other sectors as well—such as education, healthcare, the economy, housing, and addressing social issues. Questions: 1- How can the two major parties claim to be serving the country and its citizens when they succumb to their rivalry, wasting money and depriving the country of valuable projects? 2- Where is the civil society and the public in these maneuvers? Why doesn’t civil society and the public draw a line in the sand for projects that were agreed upon by the previous government? Why do they allow the animosities between the two major parties to affect th...

Our behavior pattern might turn our own children into becoming war criminals!
النسخة العربية Version Française In the past, the rulers of Arab and Muslim nations were openly and vehemently opposed to genocides in Palestine and the wider Middle East. Over time, they slowly started to shift their positions, proposing peace agreements of all kinds with Israel. In the last 10 years, portions of Muslims and Arabs nations have gradually started to change their position, too, after the political normalizations with Israel. Today, more rulers are supporting the genocide, and portions of their nations provide finance and men to it, while religious scholars and leaders, unions and the civil society are keeping quiet. Given this trend, I bet that, in the next major genocide, our own children who will be in their 30s and 40s, will themselves be soldiers, killing the "terrorists", and burning and torturing their women and children, or burying them alive. In the past, people learned about genoc...
