  • My story in today’s @canberratimes, the newspaper in #Australia’s capital city, is my serious proposal for states and nations to establish a Ministry of Happiness to tackle loneliness and depression, epidemics in our societies. Furthermore, based on research in my just released @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’, countries would find responsible and legal ways to use psychedelic drugs, like #LSD, #ecstasy and #magicmushrooms, to help treat mental health issues amongst the population. I don’t mention this idea in my book, I wish I did!, but I discussed it with two prominent, progressive politicians in #Australia during my recent tour, @mehreenfaruqi and @fionapattenmp, and they loved it. I’m not the first person to ever suggest this idea but I think its time has come. Link to story in bio. #ministryofhappiness #drugs #legalise #regulation #warondrugs #drugwar #endthedrugwar
  • This is a road built specifically for #Palestinians by #Israel in the occupied #WestBank so that #Jewish settlers don’t have to share the same road as #Arabs. There are many such roads across the #WestBank. Military law for #Palestinians in the #WestBank and civilian law for #Israeli settlers. This disparity permeates every aspect of life there. #occupation #israel #palestine
  • Happy life inside the Givon HaHadasha #Israeli settlement in the #WestBank...if you don’t mind fences, barriers and cameras to monitor #Palestinians living nearby. #occupation #palestine #israel #breakingthesilence
  • Read this and try not getting angry. Inside the #Israeli settlement of Givon HaHadasha near #Jerusalem is a home owned by the #Palestinian Gharieb family. They live in a ‘cage house’ surrounded by high fences erected by #Israel. The family can only access their home and lands via a road and gates built by #Israel. They are literally imprisoned by the illegal settlement. I recently visited here for the first time, shown around by Yeduda Shaul, co-founder of Breaking the Silence, a group of ex #Israeli soldiers. That’s me on the right in the 2nd photo as we all look through the fence to the #Palestinian home. #occupation #westbank #palestine #breakingthesilence
  • Lonely shipping container in the #WestBank #Palestine. #occupation #bluesky #breakingthesilence #israel
  • A recent tour of the occupied #WestBank with Yehuda Shaul, a co-founder of Breaking the Silence, former #Israeli soldiers now campaigning to end the occupation. The main takeaway? Without massive ethnic cleansing, #Israel simply doesn’t have enough #Jews to successfully occupy the entire #WestBank so in the end the demographics are on the #Palestinian side. An interesting and provocative point with many counter arguments. Whatever the outcome, this process will still take decades 🤬. #palestine #occupation #breakingthesilence
