They voted to not even report the numbers dead in Gaza?! This is just sick. The whole genocide is just sick, and has to stop. I wish...

Everything is sick. I wish peace...but let me stop wishing...and rather...being...peace. I can't bring peace wishing...maybe being peace? I don't know...

I can't stop the genocide myself alone, but I can be peace and hope there's a ripple effect in others...maybe...

I am with you Diane, I feel what you feel. I also don't understand, What can I do? Express how we feel. We need to show to the world how wr are and what we are and how we feel to find peace...

Keep being hope for peace, keep being awesome Diane, keep crying and shouting amd being the wonderful human you are

Thanks, Forrest. You too. Maybe with so many feeling this way and expressing it however we can will change the world forever.

Agreed with you both, this is not something we can just wish to fruition silently. We need to be change agents ushering in this much needed change. Every human being alive has a personal responsibility to humankind and Earth as a whole. Each day we breathe is a choice in action or inaction.

Grand social movements before us gave us revolutions that transformed many different peoples' landscapes. I will use what I have in voice & words to educate/influence mindsets, use my purchasing power to boycott brands profiting from our massacre, use my time & labor to support volunteer organizations etc.

My only wish is I could do more to aid with the laws & policies that will actually institute our people's rights, and help realize our #freepalestine... one day soon inshallah πŸ™

Viva la πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ, β™₯️ you both

Me too, Najwan. I make those commitments.

Why else are we alive in this treacherous moment?

We have to do all we can to address the horror of what is going on and to stop it if we can.

I just posted about this very topic, Najwan. Again. I feel like a broken record sometimes.

I don't want to see the noble, steadfast, and exceptionally resilient people of Palestine erased from the world. It's despicable that the Fascist Apartheid Rogue State of Israel has a stay out of jail free card when it comes to the Genocide of Gaza. I'm not antisemitic, I'm antifascist. Viva Palestina, from the River to the Sea.

I am right there with you Martin, Viva Palestina till the day we die πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έβ™₯️πŸ’ͺ

This is simply a matter of human life and dignity, and no mere mortal in this whole galaxy has the right to expel, expunge, eradicate a people, a land, anything sacred put on this Earth by forces higher than all of us put together.

It sickens me every day I am forced to wake up to this world, the way we continue to allow it to be. But I will do my part (inshallah) each day to help bring about a #freepalestine

#palestinewillbefree

I like the way you write, Najwan. It took getting used to. But when we allow your words in we find they echo the realities we live and witness: piercing, scattered, in pieces, explosive, painful, loud, filled with anger, and also filled with compassion, mercy, hope.

You also share videos that must be seen. Thank you.

Aww, shukran Aida, not gona lie, I have often times wondered/worried that my mind may not always translate easily in reading. But I write from the heart, and I am attempting my diligence each day to read, watch, listen, learn so I am no longer serving as a puppet to men with black hearts. I want to make Falastin so very proud, and more important than that, want to help make them free and safe (forever)

God bless you for reading <3 And thank you sincerely for taking the time to write this note. No one else had echoed my inner monologue (that concern I host deep inside my worried pit)

Viva la πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ
