It's terrible what Israel is doing with the support of our governments.

Short term there seems no way to stop even the support of our governments quickly.

This "set in their ways" aspect needs to shift a lot if #ClimateChange is to be addressed.

It did change briefly and partially for the beginning of the #CovidPandemic before snapping back.

Some quick change is possible already.

But how to evoke mass action by voters such that govs will listen and respond to #Gaza?

Profound article by the NRC for our Dutch followers: 👇

The Dutch Ministry of Health initiated a think tank during the #covidpandemic, including civil servants, Meta, Google & YouTube, who tried to fight #disinformation on social media. But who can make these claims and what influence should they have on public debates?

Important questions #regroup aims to answer!
