For most of us, if not all of us, there is literally nothing we can do to stop what is happening in #Gaza
But the *very least* we can do is be a witness to what is happening and to see it CLEARLY.
Because when this is over (whatever 'over' will look like), the Powerful will tell us that what we saw was NOT what we saw. They will try to erase the fact these people existed and had a right to exist. They had a right to be free.
They HAVE a right to be free.
I'm overwhelmed and overcome because there's only so much trauma we can bear. But WE, here in the U.S., are bearing *nothing* compared to what our Palestinian neighbors are bearing.
To look away is a comfort+privilege.
