Source: GazaNow Image: Al-Qassam terrorist continuing the war on day 116 firing an RPG at a tank in full civilian clothing

In the ongoing Gaza conflict, a concerning Hamas tactic has emerged. Terrorists, dressed as civilians and recognized as Al-Qassam fighters, blur the lines between combatant and non-combatant, escalating dangers for all.

This strategy complicates the Israeli soldiers’ ability to differentiate between threats, placing them and innocent bystanders in peril. It leads to tragic outcomes, where genuine civilians are indistinguishable from disguised combatants.

Furthermore, this tactic distorts casualty statistics, with combatants miscounted as civilians, skewing conflict perceptions and complicating peace efforts.

In a situation where any civilian might be a hidden combatant, soldiers face morally complex decisions. As we reflect on the ongoing turmoil since October 7th, it’s vital to condemn tactics that endanger lives and impede conflict resolution.

Upholding the laws of armed conflict is essential for protecting the innocent and working towards sustainable peace in the region.

Disclaimer: this post does not promote or support the actions taken in the imagine but instead aims to provide accurate reporting of incidents on the ground.

PSA on deescalation

Listen to the person! Yes, when people are angry they don't always communicate clearly and sometimes say things that they don't mean. But they are still intelligent human beings capable of knowing how they feel.

Leave the situation! If it's safe, leave the situation! It takes two to tango and it's harder to fight when you don't have an enemy anymore. If the person is telling you to leave you probably should.

Also you should almost never trap or prevent the other person from leaving! Letting someone who is upset leave allows them to get some space alone, get space from the conflict, feel safer, and get some adrenaline out by moving. You may feel it's not safe to leave the person or let the person leave. But try to balance those concerns with the fact that it's not fair to hold them hostage in a situation they don't feel safe in, at that point you're antagonizing them. Also you should respect that person's autonomy and judgement, they know themselves better than you do and often they want to avoid the conflict escalating as well.

Validate the other persons emotions! This helps show concern and make someone feel heard, which helps stem the conflict and stress. You don't have to apologize or deny what they did is wrong but express understanding and compassion for the distress they are feeling.

Express concern not judgement! If you think they "need help" ask if they "are okay?" ask if they need help. But don't tell them to "calm down."

Communicate your concerns! If you're concerned that safety of the the other person or other people if you leave the situation let them know. You might be able to work out a deal so that they walk a certain way so that you can see them get away safe. You can give them resources. This also communicates concern.

This all comes from what I've learned studying psychology and education. As well as from working in schools and mental hospitals. I don't have time right now to include references but if you curious about things mentioned I encourage you to look up deescalation techniques as well as the individual techniques I've mentioned.

An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

POTUS must put strong conditions on Israel funding now.

727 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The time has come to put strong conditions on any aid going to the Israeli government. Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t listening to President Biden, or to the families of hostages, or to the global community. He’s not interested in negotiating towards peace. He doesn’t seem to care about freeing the hostages. Instead he’s insisting on undertaking an assault on Rafah, a neighborhood filled with starving civilians who have no place left to go. It’s a mission that will have a catastrophically high body count. Any American funding should be conditioned on his absolutely not doing this. In general, I do NOT want my tax dollars paying for missiles, bombs, or armaments to be used against a ravaged population of mostly women and children in Gaza. I don’t want it paying for war crimes. I don’t want it funding settlement expansion. The U.S. has leverage. It’s time use it. Sometimes even our closest friends require tough talk. Put strong conditions on Israel funding now. Thanks.

“You see, a conflict always begins with an issue - a difference of opinion, an argument. But by the time it turns into a war, the issue doesn't matter anymore, because now it's about one thing and one thing only: how much each side hates the other.”

How do you think we can prevent disagreements from spiraling into deeper animosity? Have you witnessed or experienced situations where keeping the focus on the original issue could have prevented further conflict? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences on navigating disputes while maintaining respect and understanding.

Biblical Wisdom for Handling Anger: Embracing the BULLETS Approach

Dealing with anger is not easy.

Dealing with anger is an everyday challenge, and for Christians, it presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate Christ's teachings of love, patience, and humility. While conflict is inevitable, our response to it can either escalate or diffuse the situation. In this blog, Biblical Wisdom for Handling Anger, we explore the BULLETS acronym, combining practical advice with biblical wisdom, to navigate such encounters as peacemakers.

Embracing the BULLETS Approach

Be Seated When encountering anger, our first step is to seek a moment of calm. Psalm 37:8 advises us to refrain from anger and forsake wrath. By inviting the other person to sit, we create a space for peaceful dialogue. This act is not just about physical posture but an internal readiness to engage respectfully, reflecting Christ’s composure in times of conflict. Use the Person's Name In addressing someone by name, we follow Christ's example of personal engagement, as seen in His interactions with Peter (John 21:15-17). This approach shows respect and attentiveness, essential in affirming the individual's worth, irrespective of their behavior. Lower Your Voice "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1). Our tone can either soothe or aggravate a situation. By consciously lowering our voice, we extend an olive branch, inviting a shift from hostility to dialogue. Listen Active listening is a cornerstone of effective communication. As James 1:19 advises, we should be "quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger." This means genuinely striving to understand the root of the other person's anger and acknowledging their feelings, creating an environment conducive to healing. Eliminate Humor Humor, especially in tense situations, can be misinterpreted as insensitivity. Ephesians 4:29 reminds us to use words that build up and fit the occasion. Our goal is to show empathy and seriousness, ensuring the other person feels heard and respected. Talk, Don't Argue James 3:17 celebrates the wisdom that is peaceable and open to reason. In conflicts, our aim is not to win an argument but to seek mutual understanding and resolution. We should communicate our perspectives respectfully, fostering an atmosphere conducive to problem-solving. Slow Down Patience is a virtue that allows for thoughtful and effective communication. Slowing down our speech rate is a practical way of modeling calmness, encouraging both parties to engage in a rational and respectful manner. So, How Will You Apply Biblical Wisdom for Handling Anger? Our role as Christians extends beyond personal salvation to being ambassadors of Christ's love and peace, especially in handling conflicts. By applying the BULLETS approach, we can navigate through anger and conflict with grace and wisdom. May we always strive to be peacemakers, embodying Christ's teachings in every interaction. Let us commit to using communication as a tool for healing and reconciliation, bringing about God's kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Today is another day of sharing on "How Dance Resolves Conflict in our communities. Dance is a potential asset for the peacebuilding field, creating opportunities for nonverbal, embodied learning and relationships to the ‘other’. As a symbolic language communicated through the body, dance is one tool to support peacebuilders and communities in conflict to develop the range of their communication and understanding. Though the potential of dance is encouraging, there is also a need for ongoing reflection regarding implementation, and possible misuse of the arts. “Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” – Rumi Join me at Musicals this Thursday 23rd Feb for a fun filled fellowship but yet a whole different learning experience as I Okurut cools down the Thursday evening with dance after taking them through how dance as an Art can resolve conflicts.

When I look back on all of my conflicts I have had with people the one common factor in all of them is when you push enough buttons, I snap.

I have gone through so much therapy wondering if I am ever the problem. I have dissected every relationship, from all the point of views to play devils advocate and even my therapists have said they see why I act the way that I do. Kinda annoying, I was hoping for a different answer that I have been missing.

That when I do not feel heard and have repeated myself multiple, countless times that I start to act out to be heard.

I love how I go on and on in therapy sessions telling stories and making sure all the details and levels are in the light and my therapist can just take all of that in one simple sentence. I simply act out when I am not heard....duh! ding, ding, ding.

I don't always like how I handle certain situations. I learn from them as much as I can and wont be around people that bring that out in me.

Cutting ties has always been a little too easy for me and I always thought it was healthy. I protect my energy, keep my eye on the prize. I had one therapist turn the question around on me and ask me why is it so easy for me to cut ties, burn the bridges and if I see a problem with it at all.

I chewed on that for awhile going through the timeline of my life and looking at different scenarios and situations. There aren't many times that I don't regret cutting ties. I do always know that I can handle certain situations better. I love thought provoking questions though. Ask me hard questions, make me uncomfortable, let me go inward. This is why I love therapy, listening to podcasts and reading self care books. I want to uncover all the angles.

Another question my therapist asked me that had me looking for the answer was

"Do you think your ability to connect with animals is because of any trauma responses."

I have looked for that answer and I am going to keep watching for more evidence to come to a clearer conclusion. At this moment, there is a part that in some cases, yes but I have always been able to communicate with animals on a deeper level ever since I could walk and talk. With those memories, I still believe in my gift to communicate, understand and anticipate animals needs. Sure, I seem to enjoy there company over most humans because I do feel safe with animals. I can read their body language, there isn't any secrets.

Just some thoughts for now. Back to editing ✨

Monthly Roundup February 2023

Statement by the Prime Minister on the International Day Against the Use of Child Soldiers

“Today, we commit to continuing to work with the international community to ensure that all children can live their lives free from violence. Together, we can make sure children remain children, and build a safer, more just future for all.”

The Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace, and Security

Strategic Plan for 2022 - 2025

Why aren’t child soldiers treated as human trafficking ‘survivors’?

"What happens to child soldiers once the fighting is over? How do they re-integrate into society, and who supports them to find a new place in civilian life?"

"Children who have been used by armed actors do not reintegrate easily. Depending on when they were used and how old they were at the time, they may return to civilian life still as children or as adults. Regardless, many of them will be viewed with suspicion, stigmatised, or outright rejected by their families, communities, governments, and even the international community."

"Engaging with child soldiers as ‘survivors’ is one way to open up a path for involving them in policy and programme design. It’s also a potentially powerful way of changing the narrative around them in ways that can ease their reintegration."

How can we sustain systems of support that are designed with the experiences of child soldiers at their centre?

"What is needed now are ideas for how governments and humanitarian organisations could bring former child soldiers into the policy and programming process, so that the system could – for the first time in their lives – work for them."

Here’s how AI is helping Africa’s endangered elephants

"In collaboration with Dutch tech start-up Hack the Planet, a team of British scientists at Stirling University has developed a new camera that could help protect elephants and other wildlife. The AI-powered device connects directly to satellites and sends real-time information to forest rangers or local villagers."

'The Elephant Whisperers' — An Oscar-nominated love story about people and pachyderms

"[Bellie] is part of the Kattunayakan community, a tribal group that, for generations, has devoted itself to caring for elephants. "For us Kattunayakans, the well-being of the forest is all that matters," she says."

"I wanted the audience to stop seeing animals as the 'other' and start seeing them as one of us," she says. "The Elephant Whisperers helps people understand more about the elephants and their human caretakers, how they love and understand each other, how they've learnt to adapt and co-exist."

How to Identify the Need for Relationship Therapy in Houston?

A relationship is a synonym for strength, emotional well-being, and experiences. The more effort you put into the relationship, the better it gets. I mean, you have to give it your all to make it successful. But let’s face the reality: No matter how hard we try and how much effort we put in, there will always be challenges and misunderstandings that we must overcome.

Sometimes, a small argument or mistake can lead to the end of a relationship, and you might not know what to do about it. But worry not, friends. These things are normal in almost every relationship... This is where relationship therapy in Houston can help: no one knows better than a relationship psychologist who can help you resolve the misunderstandings. Doing so will not only provide a healthy relationship but also give your relationship group mutual understanding for the rest of your life.

Beige Flags in Relationships 20 Subtle Signs to Watch Out for in Your Partner

In the realm of relationships, we often hear about the red flags that signal warning signs in a partner. However, what about the lesser-known beige flags? These are the subtle cues that might not immediately set off alarm bells but could hint at underlying issues or compatibility concerns.

Let's delve into 20 beige flags to be mindful of in your partner - Inconsistent Communication: While not necessarily a deal-breaker, sporadic or vague communication patterns could indicate a lack of prioritization or interest. - Reluctance to Compromise: A partner who consistently refuses to meet halfway or consider your perspective may struggle with cooperation in the long term. - Habitual Lateness: Chronic tardiness could suggest a disregard for your time and commitments. - Overly Critical Behavior: Constant criticism, even if presented as constructive feedback, may erode confidence and strain the relationship. - Resistance to Change: A reluctance to adapt or grow together could hinder mutual progress and shared experiences. - Lack of Initiative: If your partner consistently relies on you to make plans or decisions, it could signify a passive approach to the relationship. - Financial Incompatibility: Divergent attitudes towards money management or spending habits might lead to conflicts down the road. - Emotional Unavailability: Difficulty in expressing emotions or offering support during challenging times could create barriers to intimacy. - Boundary Issues: Disregarding personal boundaries or showing possessiveness may indicate a lack of respect for autonomy. - Inattention to Details: Ignoring small gestures or failing to remember important dates might signal a lack of attentiveness or investment. - Limited Shared Interests: While individual hobbies are healthy, a significant disparity in interests could hinder quality time together. - Unwillingness to Apologize: Difficulty in owning up to mistakes or offering sincere apologies may strain trust and forgiveness. - Conflict Avoidance: While conflict is inevitable, a partner who consistently avoids addressing issues may foster unresolved tension. - Social Disconnection: A reluctance to integrate you into their social circles or participate in your activities could hint at isolation or detachment. - Unbalanced Power Dynamics: Significant discrepancies in decision-making power or control may lead to resentment or imbalance. - Resistance to Feedback: A lack of openness to constructive criticism or refusal to engage in self-improvement could impede growth as a couple. - Dependency: Overreliance on you for emotional fulfillment or decision-making may lead to feelings of suffocation or pressure. - Inflexibility: Rigidity in mindset or an unwillingness to compromise on values could hinder mutual understanding and compromise. - Indecisiveness: Difficulty in making simple choices or commitments might reflect underlying insecurity or hesitation. - Mismatched Future Goals: Misalignment in long-term aspirations or life trajectories could lead to dissatisfaction or resentment over time. Healthy Relationship Habits: Within the context of fostering healthy relationship habits, it's essential to remain vigilant for any potential beige flags that may arise. While establishing positive routines and behaviors is crucial for the longevity of a partnership, it's equally important to be aware of subtle signs that could indicate underlying issues. Beige flags in the realm of relationship habits might manifest as a lack of effort or consistency in maintaining shared responsibilities, such as household chores or emotional support. These flags could also appear as a pattern of neglecting self-care or failing to prioritize quality time together. By remaining attuned to these beige flags, individuals can address any imbalances or concerns before they escalate into more significant problems. Healthy relationship habits require ongoing communication, mutual respect, and a willingness to address issues as they arise. By acknowledging and actively working to overcome beige flags in relationship habits, couples can cultivate a strong foundation built on trust, understanding, and mutual support.

Communication Strategies: Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, yet even in the realm of communication, beige flags may emerge. These subtle indicators can manifest as a lack of transparency, passive-aggressive behavior, or an avoidance of discussing important topics. Beige flags in communication strategies may also include a failure to actively listen, interrupting, or dismissing the other person's feelings. Recognizing these beige flags is crucial for fostering healthy dialogue and resolving conflicts constructively. It requires both partners to cultivate self-awareness, empathy, and a commitment to open and honest communication. By addressing beige flags in communication head-on, couples can strengthen their connection and deepen their understanding of each other's needs and perspectives. Effective communication strategies involve active listening, expressing emotions respectfully, and seeking compromise when necessary. By prioritizing healthy communication habits and addressing any beige flags that may arise, couples can navigate challenges together with greater resilience and understanding. Self-Reflection Exercises: Engaging in self-reflection is an invaluable tool for personal growth and relationship development, yet even in this introspective process, beige flags may surface. These subtle cues can manifest as a reluctance to examine one's own behaviors, defensiveness when confronted with criticism, or a failure to take accountability for mistakes. Beige flags in self-reflection exercises might also appear as a pattern of avoiding uncomfortable truths or refusing to acknowledge areas for improvement. Recognizing these beige flags is essential for fostering self-awareness and promoting healthy introspection within the relationship. It requires individuals to approach self-reflection with honesty, vulnerability, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. By addressing beige flags in self-reflection head-on, individuals can cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their impact on the relationship. Self-reflection exercises involve asking probing questions, journaling thoughts and feelings, and seeking feedback from trusted sources. By prioritizing self-awareness and addressing any beige flags that may arise, individuals can enhance their personal growth journey and contribute to the health and vitality of their relationship. While beige flags might not demand immediate action, they serve as gentle reminders to reassess compatibility and address potential concerns early on. Open communication, mutual respect, and a willingness to navigate challenges together are key in fostering a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Remember, it's the accumulation of these subtle cues that can ultimately shape the course of your partnership. So, stay vigilant, and may your relationship journey be guided by awareness and understanding. Read the full article
