[COMMENTARY]

For decades, environmental, social and governance systems have focused on stopping harm before it happens.

And while these systems have helped reduce future damage, they remain largely unequipped to deal with the harm that has already occurred.

Meiselas: And it's certainly not anti-Semitic to criticize what Netanyahu is doing...you can have basic humanity and speak out against atrocities that are happening in Gaza and watching people starve to death, and that does not make you antisemitic at all.

The word "hatred" in the Bible means "lack of compassion," an apathy, coldness, abstractness that prevents love of neighbor or is indifferent to it. But the Western rationalist tradition has inculcated [abstraction] into our patterns of thinking & acting...[educating] us in hatred. bit.ly/4kxtIcG
