Why Palestine?: Reflections From Singapore

Walid Jumblatt Abdullah

Beschreibung

If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 
 
Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 
 
Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.

Healing Childhood trauma 2-1...

Nancy Loyat

If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
Common behaviors among victims include: 
Trust issues 
Taking care of others at their own expense 
Persistent anger or panic 
Overreacting to remarks 
Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
Difficulty identifying priorities 
Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.
