I was thinking about how to commemorate this day.
What to do, what to say, what to share.
I’ve written so much about different reports and UN announcements related to the children of Gaza that I wanted to commemorate this day with something a bit more touching. Perhaps a bit more appropriate for this solemn occasion.
These are the things that came to mind.
I start with a speech that has never left my mind (or my heart).
The collective guilt we carry is real, just like that collective grief and rage over what’s happening.
I have never been both so out of words and filled with things to share my whole life. All I can continue saying is we have to keep on moving forward.
Not for ourselves, our self-image, or even our sanity.
It’s for those children to whom we owe it.
I want to encourage you to donate to one or several of these organisations that I, too, support:
Defense for Children International – Palestine
United Palestinian Appeal
Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
I have selected some visuals from my project in case you’d like to download and share them with your community today:
PS. The US has just vetoed another UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire this week. The ones who support the mass slaughter of children deserve nothing less than a moral hell and to end their lives in prison as they’re sent there by the judges in the Hague.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe?
