I'm hyper aware that there are less Palestinians online sharing their experiences and real time news and it's not because they're tired and overwhelmed (which they have the right to be) but because they are dead. They're dead. They are dead.
this is the kind of stuff we’re talking about when we say genocide isn’t limited to direct murder. this child is going to die. withholding humanitarian aide, purposeful spread of disease, and man made famines have been tools of genocide for hundreds of years.
the way these people demonise children throwing rocks you would never believe one of their most honoured a prominent religious figures was a child who threw a rock at his oppressor
normal people need to stop allowing this narrative that adults having meaningful relationships with minors is inherently predatory and bad bc that’s just insane. having safe and cool adults around you can confide in + look up to (cuz for many, that’s not family) is GOOD actually.
