I wrote a post back in January -art as a response to … and realize that as the months and days and nights roll on -essentially nothing has changed. I read a passage from Substack writer of @The Sometimes newsletter Ella Frances Sanders which resonated for me this morning .
I wonder daily: why can’t they (the powers that be) just get on it, do something!! Yet another meeting. And who’s managing the aid drops? It looks like a free for all when the fittest fish out packages from the sea and others drown. I’m tired of hearing only about “wishes, “hopes and prayers” for peace while such suffering and atrocities continue daily. I can barely watch the news stations, feeling so helpless.
I heard that the local bus driver exclaimed that it was worse than Christmas to get in and out of the Wal-Mart parking area this Easter weekend. The commercialism is gluttonous and wrong.
I hear you Janice ! it's a horrible , unreal, disgustingly frightening unbelievable fate for the Palestinian people - and bearing witness is painful too. Thank you for your comment Janice . It's reassuring to hear that you echo my sentiments -and join thousands and thousands of others who feel the same way . Every voice helps.
Thank you for your thoughts and I appreciate you writing about it. 🇵🇸
Thank you for your response Indigene ,
In solidarity
