Today, I shared a message about the stark contrast in vulnerability between nations and communities facing climate change. It’s similar to the difference between wealthy and poor households—those with power and resources are often the cause of environmental degradation, while the poor, despite their innocence, bear the heaviest burden.

It is fate…

I covered many environmental, climate, and development topics in detail during a three-hour session with a group of inspiring and determined youth at the launch of the Youth Environmental Alliance in Gaza, under the project “Green Sky, Healthy Land”, with our dear partners at Rescue the Youth Future and USAID.

To all of them, I offer my deepest love, appreciation, and respect.

Together, we move forward for a healthy environment and climate justice in Palestine—and the world.

Then, I stood at the invisible border between Belgium and the Netherlands. My right foot in Holland, my left in Belgium. A foot here, a foot there. In between? Cold air, and lots of peace…

Two different countries. Different identities. Languages. Flags. Cultures. Histories. No shared god. Thousands of religions and beliefs. A past filled with wars, bombs, and destruction.

And yet, people tell me: “My beloved homeland, the greatest nation…”

We urgently need a comprehensive review:
A review of beliefs.
A review of concepts.
A review of curriculums.
A review of our loyalties.
A review of religion, nationalism, and morality.

There is no power and no strength except with God…
