What matters to me most in life and politics is what’s closest to my heart. It’s related directly to my own personal experience.
Isn’t that true for everyone?
And, perhaps, why I haven’t connected to the elections in Israel is because what matters most to me doesn’t matter to most of the people voting in this election. Or most of the people that live in Israel.
But what I still don’t get is why?
In between fighting wars, and between reading the newspaper in the morning and watching the news at night, don’t we all need/want to live healthy lives?
Don’t my neighbors, friends, relatives understand that nothing else matters once your health is poor?
Taxes won’t matter.
Housing prices won’t matter.
Military duty won’t matter.
Statehood won’t matter.
Once a health crisis takes over, little else matters.
And each and every one of us are in some stage of a health crisis right now.
Many of us are only days, weeks, years away from cancer due to chemicals in our food and self care products.
Many of our children are only days, weeks, years away from debilitating asthma due to air pollution.
Many of our grandchildren are…
Many of our grandchildren are…
Many of our grandchildren are…
an impossibility
due to rising infertility rates … climate change … drought…. famine…diminishing resources on our planet.
Vote what matters.
