The annoying orange

Everything is great. All is sunshine. I am an eternal optimist." It's the fad of our TikTok times everything is not great, the sun sets daily, nothing is eternal. If anything, everything is ephemeral, night brings darkness, and optimism often crumbles under the weight of history. British philosopher Roger Scruton warned: "Hope untempered by the evidence of history is a dangerous asset, one that threatens not only those who embrace it, but all those within range of their illusions."

Palestine turns into an apocalypse. Hope is good, but denial, wishful thinking and false positivity are not. B positive is a blood group, not a cure or a plan of action. Damage-limitation and recovering from catastrophe require time, perseverance, unity and strategic thinking. How can nations solve a problem like Donald Trump? Who destabilises, provokes, calls some human beings "vermin" and wants to rid Palestine of Palestinians to create a luxury, oil-rich waterfront property.
