„Im Moment ist Hochkonjunktur für extrem laute Stimmen“ Dina D. Pomeranz im #SRFClub - sehenswerte, bewegende, teils sehr traurige, und inhaltlich differenzierte , spannend geführte Diskussion!

Toller und wichtiger #srfclub mit Vertretungen jüdischer und muslimischer Gemeinschaften und mit Vertreter/innen von interreligiösem Dialog über Schwierigkeiten und Möglichkeiten für Verständigung angesichts der aktuellen Situation.

«Die Empathie ist unser gemeinsamer Nenner», sagen Imam Muris Begović und Rabbiner Noam Hertig. Sie sind Initianten eines interreligiösen Projekts und zeigen, wie man in Zeiten der Spaltung aufeinander zugehen kann. Über die Wichtigkeit solcher Dialoge sprechen wir im #SRFClub .

Auf dem Weg ins Studio für die Aufnahme heute Nachmittag. Bin gespannt!

So viel Erinnerungskultur und dann das. Kulturfremd als das neue volksfremd umformuliert, und schon wird pauschale Abwertung ganzer Menschengruppen wieder salonfähig. Das macht mir Angst.

For context: the global top 10% is anyone with an income of over about 19,500 USD per year in the US (or, adjusted for purchasing power, over about 23'000 CHF in Switzerland or 14,500 € in Germany).

The global rich, that likely includes you, dear reader:

New research from John Tebes and Jeffrey Fagan makes the most compelling and stark case to date that 'Stop and Frisk' was a disasterous policy without merit. Whether you previously 'knew' that or not, it's still time to update your beliefs.

When I light your candle with mine, I've lost nothing—I still have my light. This is clear to most people. I wish it was just as clear that when we empathize with the pain of others, whoever they may be, we also lose nothing. Empathy doesn't have to be a zero-sum game.

An Open Letter on the Misuse of Holocaust Memory:

Some people feel that criticizing the Israeli government in the current situation is anti-Israeli, or that it dishonors the families of the victims of October 7th.

What many don't know: among the harshest critics of this government are families of the victims of October 7th.

While so much attention is on Gaza, settlers are stepping up a violent campaign against Palestinians in the West Bank. They have killed more than 200 Palestinians and displaced hundreds from sixteen villages since October 7. /2

Good news: worst case scenarios of 5°C or more have most likely been avoided

Bad news: we're still totally off track to reach 1.5°C or even 2°C. Each additional 0.1°C makes a big difference for economic & environmental impacts.

What we do next - and how - fast is therefore key.
