Navigating the River of Politics: A Call for Resolute Diplomacy Within the realm of political discourse, where parliamentary dress-up days and performances like those of the Greens and slogans from Te Pati Māori may entertain, a resolute and measured approach is imperative. My unwavering commitment to peace, guides my decisions. However, the aftermath of the October 7 terror introduces a delicate matter – the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Advocating for a two-state solution, I envisage a path preserving the Israeli state's integrity while upholding the dignity of the Palestinian people. Amidst the political landscape, those emphasizing environmental and societal causes risk diluting their genuine efforts by associating with divisive slogans, overshadowing the pursuit of harmony. A discerning New Zealand politician refrains from hate slogans within our democratic state, recognizing the gravity of the situation. The peril lies in actions that not only defy democratic principles but also inadvertently support slogans manipulated by groups like Hamas. For genuine peace seekers in the region, reframing the discourse is imperative. Let us replace contentious rhetoric with a poetic vision transcending borders. "From the river to the sea, from mountains to valleys, deserts to olive groves, the land of promise will be free, healed, democratic, shining as a bright star. May it spread the story of peace and hope to all." In our political discourse, let our words be a beacon, fostering an atmosphere where messages of peace resonate from our southern star to seas, rivers, mountains, valleys, deserts, cities, forests, and olive groves around the world. Under the southern star, our words ignite— From rivers to seas, peace takes flight. https://lnkd.in/gQHaYvsW

🇪🇺 🎉 It's been nearly 20 years since the Czech Republic, along with eight other predominantly Central and Eastern European countries, joined the club of member states of the European Union. This anniversary calls for celebration! To mark the occasion, we're curating at KVIFF.TV a film collection featuring 20 European movies, as diverse and colorful as Europe can get, entertaining, satirical, captivating and heartfelt, legendary as well as hidden gems, from every corner of the continent. 💙 On a personal note, I vividly remember the atmosphere of that historic moment on May 1st, 2004 when I was in my 20s. Borders dissolved, opening doors to new opportunities for education, work, and life abroad. There was a palpable sense of hope that our country would bridge the gap in prosperity and quality of life compared to the economic powerhouses neighboring us. I was certain I would once tell my kids and their kids about it. About how many things moved overnight from "totally impossible" to "no problem" category. Whether we've fully seized upon those opportunities is up for debate. But I want us to revive the big idea behind that union and remember its value for us as individuals, as humans and as a democratic society. Twenty years may lead us to take certain privileges for granted, and effortless. But let's remember nothing is automatic, or achieved without effort, and today, we need a drop of that optimism in our veins more than ever. My kids were born to a better place than I was, and that matters. #europe #anniversary #europeanunion #europeanheritage And let's enjoy this film ride 😘. https://lnkd.in/e6a9i6Jk
