A civilian population - elders who look like your grandparents, children who resemble your own - is being carpet-bombed with a cruelty that is beyond measure. An Israeli minister called them “human animals,” and President Joe Biden publicly doubts the numbers of casualties reported by the Palestinians.
You know, as he surely does, that the number is probably higher, that the missing people are not really "missing"; they're dead under the rubble.
Your heart is busted
Your heart aches. You scroll. You cry. You’re repeatedly stunned by the brutality you’re witnessing.
Your grandparents may have been born outside of Palestine. Maybe you’ve never ever seen Palestine yourself. Maybe you don’t speak or understand Arabic at all. In the past, these factors have made you feel distanced from your heritage, but this moment reminds you of how Palestinian you truly are, especially as you realise something we all do: there is a concerted effort to erase us."
