This is the video Instagram pulled down after getting 12 million views. Itโs only about 5 min and starts with the history of how we got to where we are.
I'm sure the same people outraged about innocent people being killed in broad daylight in New York last week will be equally outraged this week.
Right?
This was removed from a 17-year-old, who was injured by a bomb or missle. It was also probably extracted without anesthesia due to the shortage of medical resources in Gaza. Fuck Israel.
This Christmas, once again, we find ourselves reflecting on the meaning of Christmas through the image of Christ in the Rubble. Christ is still under the rubble in Gaza, as children are still being pulled from under the rubble in Gaza. It is heartbreaking that we are still calling and pleading for a ceasefire. Decision makers seem to be content with this war continuing as long as it has. They have decided that Palestinians are dispensable. 44700 killed (not including those under the rubble), including close to 17500 children. 87% of housing units are damaged. Thousands are physically handicapped. Millions are traumatized. It is literally hell on earth in Gaza. How many more need to be sacrificed before decision makers decide enough in enough? We insist: we see the image of Jesus in every child killed. They are precious to God.
May we unite this Christmas in lighting a candle for Gaza, and particularly for the children of Gaza. This is beyond symbolism. Let us unite in prayer, and commit ourselves to the cause of ending this genocidal war. We cannot stop talking about Gaza. We can stop advocating. Most importantly, we will not lose our faith and hope in God and the goodness and justice of God.
American troops burned Vietnamese childrฤn alive with napalm.
They used 388,000 tons of napalm to burn almost 1 million people to dฤath.
It wasnโt even 60 years ago.
Trump pardoned an actual war criminal, a Navy SEAL whose squadmates disabled his gun because they suspected he was killing civilians for fun, and it caused maybe 1/10th the outrage as this.
When people ask me what first stole my breath outside of Gaza, I always say, the sky. Not the sky I grew up with; thick with the hum of drones, a canvas of constant surveillance. But a sky so quiet, so vast, it felt like it could swallow me whole. For the first time, I could look up without bracing for something I couldnโt see but always felt.
Polish artist Igor Dobrowolski staged a solo protest outside the Israeli embassy in Poland to protest the inhumane treatment that Palestinian prisoners endure inside the Israeli jails.
