Without the level of loss that Gazans specifically and Palestinians in general have endured and continue to endure, the world now realizes that the falsehood that colonial project Z embodies was never viable, it is not sustainable, and it is self imploding rapidly.

The human sacrifice that Gazans have endured instead off kneeling in front of the ogre is not in vain.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm so sorry for your multiple losses. The cumulative grief and ongoing trauma has stripped us of our time to process. I have felt so much guilt & shame for how my grief incapacitates me at times, when there is such urgency towards action. As a Palestinian I deeply resonate with 'while not something I am directly enduring, is still something happening to me', and the loss of idealistic dreaming in exchange for existential cynicism. I appreciate the permission in this to take care of ourselves, to work on the micro and macro cosmos, as a way to rebuild Palestine from the inside out ๐ŸŒน

Palestine is getting closer and closer to be free. Heal to prepare for building the best that humanity can be.

I recently went home for the funeral of a dear family friend and had similar thoughts about the importance and beauty of grieving in community.
