I have not thought about anything else. I have contemplated posting light hearted memes on my stories, pics of my thanksgiving meal, “slams laptop shut until Monday” posts, etc. But it doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel right to not spread awareness of the genocide occurring right before our eyes. How can we go on with our daily lives? I wake up every morning thinking about the genocide in Palestine, and every night as I try to fall asleep I say my duas (prayers) for the survival of the Palestinian people. I physically shudder at the images and videos I see every day of an entire people being erased, wiped out, in the year 2023. And I also shudder at the silence. Because we are witnessing a genocide.
Make no mistake. This is a genocide. Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed. This is a genocide. Not “conflict,” not “war” -
Genocide. There should be no confusion about what this is. This is a GENOCIDE. If you are silent, please ask yourself why. If you are just learning about this, ask yourself why. If you find yourself reluctant to publicly show support or spread awareness, ask yourself why. I feel the silence, and it is deafening and disappointing. But it’s not too late. Please call your representatives to demand a permanent ceasefire. Please amplify Palestinians voices. Please spread awareness. This is extremely important. Use your voice. May Palestine be FREE. 🍉 🇵🇸
