For the June edition of Amos’ First Of The Month, guest contributor and former Amos trustee Martin Wroe writes about Occupy, BLM, XR — and wonders if protest makes any difference. “There are moments in history when we are so incensed at the direction our politicians want to take us, at what they have done and at what they have left undone, that all we can do is take to the streets. But does a million people on a march make any difference? Does two million?”
As we launch this appeal, the Israeli bombardment of Gaza has left 119 people dead and over 830 injured. There is no doubt that these figures will rise over the coming days — especially the number of people seriously injured. Our long-term partners in Gaza, Al Ahli Hospital and NECC, are providing emergency support to all who need it. We want to give them our full support at this critical time. Please help.
“In Europe, if you mention the word apartheid in South Africa almost everyone expresses their disagreement with it and how much they have been against it. If you mention Black Lives Matter in the UK, almost everyone is supportive of the civil right movement. But when it comes to us Palestinians, there’s only silence.” Ahmed Masoud writes about the current situation in East Jerusalem.
“Ambulances are queuing up for hours, with seriously ill Covid-19 patients waiting for beds to be admitted. While waiting they are supported with oxygen in the ambulance. Sometimes there is not enough oxygen available.” Paul Sunder Singh from Karunalaya in India writes about the current situation with Covid-19 in the country.
“India is burning. Coronavirus is spreading throughout the country with renewed and devastating force, as new daily cases, at the time of writing, surpass 360,000, and the total death toll passes the grim milestone of 200,000. Funeral pyres are burning in car parks, on pavements and beside rivers, as crematoriums struggle to cope with the influx of the dead.” Karin Joseph writes about the current situation in India.
