Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

Because note the book the two-headed eagle is attacking. “Lex” - Law.
The rule of law.
“The Attack,” Edvard (Eetu) Isto, 1899.
