Words of sadness over the Middle East and a parallel with xenophobia and confusion.

Image
I feel a bit numb for not being able to ignore the horror in the Middle East, which is not about Israel versus Palestinians, and definitely not something to fuel the daily antisemitism tropes and Islamophobia fantasies. This is all about unimaginable pain from human beings on all sides. I am heartbroken for the youth, elderly, and babies who are held hostage, and brutally killed. No Jews, jews, and Palestinians from all over the world including from my birth country Brazil are enduring pure horror. Pain is pain, pain is not to be compared, and pain should never be ignored. I have been giving visibility to Brazil to address illiteracy by drawing resemblances to prejudices that lead to hate towards Jews and others. For instance, when I try to inform my circles in the US about Brazil, they cut me short and say, “ “Uh? “That is weird”! “Are there Jews and Palestinians in Brazil “? I answer yes, Arabs and Jews from all backgrounds….. The next thing I know I start mentioning Ukrainians,

Nadya Pussy Riot heartbreaking statement on Russia .

Image
THe activit Nadya feom the female Russian pussy riot , wrote heart braking statements on her instagram which lead my heart to bleed with her statement in which comes from decades of pain and oppression which has nothing to do with the picture painted by our left and right heroes as if the recent tragedy is something from the West with the old expired exhausting versions of Russia versus the USA. This is about decades of oppression within Russia and its neighbors, it is out of reach within Western views or comparisons to other tragedies. However, Ukrainian, and Russian bands and artists paint their oppression with accuracy about the horror that comes from Putin, and In the name of Mary and Joseph, it has nothing to do with NATO. Nadia like many has been to prison for expressing how Putin has been weaponizing religion to satisfy his Tsar's mystical feelings towards the Russian empire, which again doesn't fit the NATO narrative. It is bizarre to witness journalists, pol

The psychologic that led me to eat and wear vegan. How did it happened , how is it going where is it going.

  A few days ago, I came across a great post on how we became vegan by one of my favorite animal rights activists from Brooklyn, NY, Stewart Mitchell, "The Vigilant Vegan.”On his Instagram post, he described something I could relate to when I was a child and had probably forgotten; in his post, he described watching videos on veganism, and one day, Steward sat down to eat and looked at his plate; he saw an abused animal, not food. That moment of realization described by him happens to most vegans in different ways. Industries have been all over our faces since birth, and the obvious becomes hard to understand, mainly because we are not prepared to rationalize the path of the flashes and by-products to our plates. We hide the truth about flashes of animals and hide under euphemisms and phony labels such as "Happy Chicken," Happy cows," "organic," and so on. Vegans are a diverse group of all ages, from all countries., all religions, which means going vegan,

Animal agriculture is glamorized in Brazil by popular TV series like The King of Cattle, based on real events, highlighting the power of cattle ranching and how much they open Brazil‘s politics. Trough catching country music lyrics this tv series in soap opera format, activated over 2000 millhoes Brazilians' minds, which see this as harmless and something to admire, all in the name is the high GPD from Brazil’s agribusiness. However this is the leasing causes for destruction of previous ecosystem in the one of the largest Savannah in the globe, for livestock feed and cattle. This practice is the leasing cause for the extinction of animals and vegetacap, soil degradation, high emission of methane and Nitrous and the pollution of indigenous rivers , waste of water, and ocean dead zone. It all leads to bringing a massive number of intelligent sensitive animals labeled as “cattle”, which are made artificially to be exported life and face pure horror .

Russia and Ukraine under my eyes one year after..(Part one)

  Russian Illegal Invasion in Ukraine  First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Iara, and I recently turned 50 years old. I was born in Brazil and raised by artists in the field of Photography, visual arts, and acting. I grew up surrounded by Anti-USA sentiments from actors and writers who dealt with censorship and torture during the Brazilian dictatorship from 1964-1885. I spent part of my life as an exchange student in Idaho and returned to Brazil with more comprehensive insights based on my experiences. I realized that loving and trusting countries and languages can be ideological and seen as competitive market fields. Years passed, and on   February 2022, at 49 years old, living in New Jersey with my husband and furry kids, being deeply involved with justice for animals and climate justice activism, the illegal attack from Russia was the last thing on my mind. It was even more wisted on the same day Russia struck Ukraine unprovoked, illegally. I saw people I respected for
