The constant insane stories coming out of Gaza makes me feel ashamed even though I don't think I have anything to do with supporting Isreal. Every few days, images of a Palestinian tragedy sticks with me and I have to actively block it out for days, as if seeing a child picking up spilled flour off the unsanitary ground and filling his pockets with wasn't heartbreaking enough! At the risk of sounding privileged AF, I feel traumatised just watching these images. I can't imagine what the innocent people there feel like witnessing this every day and how much anger they rightfully harbour against the rest of the world. Shame! |
I was struck with Covid last weekend (on the recovery now) and while barely able to stand being alive, hurting all over, hard to breath between the rasping coughs, I'm still blessed to have a roof over my head, soft bed, well nourished, pain medication at hand, peace, dark and quiet to heal in. Thinking how terrible it must be to get sick in Gaza.
I wish I had nothing to do with supporting Israel, yet I pay taxes and Canada sends weapons to Israel, as well defended Israel's occupation in their written statement to the ICJ. Ashamed to be Canadian. Don't want to go back to being Dutch either, worse there.
Again, if Biden was serious about stepping up aid, storm the beach with aid. The 'supposed' safe route is along the sea, the massacre today happened along the shore. Instead of trying to drive trucks over broken roads through crowds, bring aid in by sea.
This is the roundabout where it happened https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gaza/@31.5029145,34.414163,834m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x14fd7f054e542767:0x7ff98dc913046392!8m2!3d31.5016951!4d34.4668445!16zL20vMGZka2w?entry=ttu Set up an aid reception point on the beach.
