LJUBLJANA, Slovenia –
These are turbulent times where natural disasters seem to parallel the chaos in our political and social spheres. The recent biblical disturbances like heavy rains in Dubai and the mass fish die-off in Vietnam reflect the heated environment we are living in. It is crucial to stay calm and analyze these strange occurrences objectively.
One of the most peculiar phenomena today is the protests sparked by Israel’s actions in Gaza following Hamas’s terrorist attack. The politicized Muslims in Hamburg chanting “Kalifat ist die Losung” and the presence of anti-Semites among the protesters are worrisome. As much as there are genocidal tendencies in Israel, there are also hateful ideologies present in the demonstrations.
It is important to examine these events rationally and with a level head. The intertwining of political, social, and natural upheavals calls for a deeper understanding of the world around us during these trying times.
